San Sebastian Castle is a 17th century fortress located in the city of Vigo
In the square are the two oldest houses in the Casco Vello de Vigo: the 16th-century Urban Palace of the Pazos Figueroa Family and the 15th-century Casa de Ceta or de Arines, both declared an artistic historical monument since 1946.
The Vigo Cathedral, popularly known as La Collegiata, is one of the best examples of the religious architecture of Vigo, exponent of neoclassical art in Galicia and the most important temple in the city.
Vigo maintains an important tradition of craftsmanship, as a tribute to bygone times when the utensils we use today as ornaments were useful to work. Materials such as leather, wood, ceramics, and trades such as bookbinding, lace or goldsmiths take new forms with very old arts.
The Calle Pescaderia, popularly known as the Calle de las oysters, is a small pedestrian street located in the riverside part of the Spanish city of Vigo. It is located between Baixada da Fonte and Mestre Mateo streets. It is named for the culinary offerings provided by the many restaurants and stands on the street where seafood and fish, especially oysters, are sold. It covers the area of the old Plaza de los Huevos, known by its name because different products were sold there, including eggs.

Guides accent was so strong that she was hard to follow. She spoke fast and kept saying “I will cover that later” Photos shown on iPad impossible to see at speed with reflections
Our guide was lovely, but the content of the tour was just boring. She did her best to fill the time, but there did not seem to be much to talk about. Vigo seems to be just boring.
Our tour guide was knowledgeable but she talked so softly that many in our group did not hear her. She also walked too fast for the older folks in our group.
Our guide Silvia was very knowledgeable about the area, went into detail about every stop and was patient with stragglers! She was chatty and lovely. Highly recommend this little tour for the price!
Viator didn't timely forward information on how to rendezvous for this tour. So we never met the guide. The assigned rating is therefore based on Viator's presentation and not on the guide's potential merits. Vigo turned out to be quite amenable to a walking tour. We self-guided and had a great time despite wasting $60 on this booking. If one prefers a guide there were lots of volunteer guides on the plaza outside the port, so it's easy to arrange on the spot.
Laura was great- lots of information. Very hilly walking tour. Not for anyone with mobility issues for sure
Excellent walking tour with Silvia. She was very knowledgeable of the history of Vigo and Spain. We saw the highlights in 2 hours and the cost of $30 was reasonable. We met right off the cruise
