Really convenient to be driven 10km out and dropped off, where we could start walking without having to think. Our guide gave us some good information before and during the trail, and met us with the surprise and graciously took some pictures of us at the end. Despite the pouring rain, I enjoyed the experience. However, given that entrance to the cathedral is free and we were not given tickets to the museum, I would say this activity is a little overpriced.

the way is easy and you can experience just a little 'peregrino', our guide, Paula, was very nice and good, she explained a lot and gave us useful informations about El Camino and about San Santiago...we had the best short trip...all the thanks

The guide provided us with information on the walk and there was enough markers on the way to ensure it was a pleasant day. Very good tour if you wanted to experience the journey.

Perfect, wonderful English translation, pointed out many historic sites, made it doable for very elderly and novice peregrinos, mil gracias

Paula was amazing , attentive and most informative...
