Discover the three sides of Santiago de Compostela with a package of three free tours and a single reservation.
10:00 a.m. History: Explore the historic district, the Plaza del Obradoiro, and the Platerías, Quintana, and Azabachería squares. Discover the city’s history and the legacy of the Camino de Santiago. Tour duration: 1 hour and a half
12:00 p.m. Gastronomy: Explore the Mercado de Abastos, Galician products, and local recipes and customs with our Free Gastronomic Tour and two complimentary tastings. Activity duration: 1 hour and a half
7:00 p.m. Mysteries and Legends: Discover the stories of pilgrims, the “meigas” (witches), and the folk traditions hidden among the streets and squares of Compostela. Activity duration: 1.5 hours
These are three separate tours, with breaks in between; it is not a continuous tour. We will confirm the schedules and meeting points for each tour before the activity, depending on availability and organizational arrangements. Look for the red and white Tour Galicia umbrella.
There is no set price for the reservation: the contribution to the guides is free and voluntary. It does not include transportation, pickup from your lodging, or admission to monuments. Please wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.
