You’ve walked the Camino de Santiago. Now it’s time to explore the city at the end of the road with a group guided tour in Santiago de Compostela.
Santiago rewards those who stay a little longer. Join fellow pilgrims on a guided walk through the historic centre, climb to the cathedral rooftop 70 metres above the old town, or venture beyond the city on a full-day trip to Finisterre or the Rías Baixas wine country. Our group guided tours in Santiago de Compostela for pilgrims are designed to make the most of your time here — whether you have two hours or a full day to spare.
Looking for a more exclusive experience? Our private day tours offer a personalised itinerary with a dedicated guide, available for groups of 2 or more.
