It was great experience I would suggest that to put a label on the umbrella the company VIATOR to be easilly identified since there were couple of company in that meeting place.
Patricia was a knowledgeable & very pleasant guide. We toured the cathedral, museum and portico. Worth every penny!
Perfect, but this is turning out to be a bit tedious for me, the survey is too long.
High level of relevant historical and spiritual knowledge with a passion that values the pilgrimage journey to connect with the Christian tradition.
It was informative and worth the money. Mireia was a great tour guide. She was very engaging. We were well prepared to see the Portico. It is worth the time and money.
Our guide was Carolina and she was great. Carolina is very knowledgeable and kept everyone’s attention with interesting facts and fun stories.
Both Fatima in the first half of the tour (central area walking tour) and Damian in the second half (museum, cathedral and puerta de gloria) were outstanding. They were friendly, charismatic and expressed their knowledge casually, in simple understandable terms!
Exceptional both the tour and the guides, especially Irene.
Highly informative without ancillary info dragging the presentation forward. Excellent, concise presentation fit appropriately in the time frame
