This city is astonishing
Went on a family trip to Galicia and of course I had to stop at Santiago de Compostela. As I have done some tours with Living Tours, went on and searched for experiences in Santiago. Saw this tour and it was just perfect. Super easy to take, booking was easy and fast as always. Great experience! 100% recommended :)
