What people love about Santiago De Compostela Tours
- Galicia & North of Portugal, 6 days
The tour provided a nice overview of the area and a comprehensive narrative for the cities visited. I would have preferred a dedicated tour guide and the often changing tourists from city to city made for interacting with other visitors difficult. One day we had 25+ on the bus, and the next day only 10. Overall, the driver, guides, and destinations were a great introduction to Galicia and Northern Spain - but the musical chairs aspect of shuffling groups of people to/from additional destinations made it hard to discuss experiences, plan for sharing upcoming extra excursions, and develop relationships with other travelers.
- "Camino de Santiago" (Way of St James): Northern Way -last 100 km
Organisation was very good Accomodation of a high standard It would be more convenient to have the daily bag pick up at 9am not 8am Overall excellent tour
- "Camino de Santiago" (Way of St James): French Way from Sarria -100 km
Make sure you find out how many miles you have to walk to the next hotel. Ours was unreasonable and extremely long.
What our customers ask about Santiago de Compostela Tours & Trips
What are the must-visit religious sites in Santiago de Compostela?
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela stands as the city's primary pilgrimage destination with its distinctive Romanesque architecture and the tomb of St. James. Visitors can explore the Monastery of San Martín Pinario which ranks among Spain's largest monasteries and houses important religious artifacts. The Church of Santa María la Real and the Convent of San Francisco round out the essential religious stops. A TourRadar traveler noted "Hearing Galician bagpipes welcoming you to the cathedral is an unforgettable experience." For those seeking proximity to these sites the historic Parador Hostal dos Reis Católicos sits directly on Plaza del Obradoiro with views of the cathedral.
How many days should I spend in Santiago de Compostela?
Plan to spend 3-4 days to properly see Santiago de Compostela. The UNESCO-listed old town needs a full day for wandering through Plaza del Obradoiro and nearby monuments. Set aside another day for the Cathedral complex including the popular noon Pilgrim's Mass. One TourRadar traveler noted "We spent our third day exploring the local markets and trying Galician specialties like pulpo a feira." The boutique Hotel Virxe da Cerca housed in an 18th-century manor provides an ideal base for unhurried exploration of the old town.
What are some unique local experiences in Santiago de Compostela?
The city offers distinctive cultural moments like watching the Botafumeiro giant incense burner swing during special Cathedral masses. The Mercado de Abastos provides a look into local life with fresh Galician seafood and regional cheeses. Join evening tapas runs along Rúa do Franco where traditional bars serve octopus paired with Albariño wine. One TourRadar traveler shared "The Queimada ceremony where our guide prepared the traditional Galician fire drink was a mystical highlight of our trip." The Costa Vella Hotel in the old town connects guests with authentic local recommendations.
What are the best day trips from Santiago de Compostela?
Day trips reveal the region's diverse attractions. Cape Finisterre sits 2.5 hours away offering views from what was once considered the world's end. The old quarter of Pontevedra presents well-preserved historic architecture. Wine enthusiasts can visit the Rias Baixas region known for Albariño vineyards and seafood restaurants. A TourRadar traveler noted "The day trip to Cape Finisterre along the Costa da Morte was absolutely spectacular with stops at beautiful beaches and fishing villages." Hotel Gelmírez provides central access to transportation for these excursions.
How difficult is it to walk the last section of the Camino into Santiago?
The final Camino segment presents moderate challenges suitable for most fitness levels. From Sarria the most common route covers 115km over 5-6 days with daily walks of 20-25km on gentle terrain. The last 20km stretch from O Pedrouzo to Santiago takes 4-5 hours including some uphill sections before descending to the city. One TourRadar traveler shared "The final walk into Santiago was emotional and surprisingly manageable - the excitement of reaching the cathedral carries you through any tiredness."
What festivals and events should I plan my visit around?
The Feast of St. James (Festas do Apóstolo) from July 15-31 brings the city's biggest celebration with fireworks concerts and traditional events in Plaza del Obradoiro. Spring features the Fiesta de la Ascension's food and cultural festivities while fall welcomes the International Film Festival. The Mercado de Abastos hosts monthly festivals showcasing Galician products. A TourRadar traveler reported "Visiting during the Feast of St. James was incredible - the entire city comes alive with music and celebrations."
