The tour was fabulous, Mirea was so knowledgeable and welcoming the tour was very interesting and great value , I would recommend the Pórtico of Glory also to have the full experience , thank you for a great morning 🌅

We had a fantastic tour with an excellent guide. Maria gave us good explanations about the historical context of the construction and evolution of the cathedral. We could easily ask questions. I recommend the tour.

We took this tour and the city walking tour. Both were great. Given lots of information and taken to all the main highlights. Well worth joining. Even took our dog along to city tour.
