The day was amazing, Susana was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, her explanations were so good . We had plenty of time to explore after listening to Susana . On the way back we had a descriptive orientation to Porto , I wish I had done this tour on day 1 in Porto , it would have saved me so much time. Thank you Susana , keep up your enthusiasm and love for Porto .

Board a comfortable van or bus and embark on a journey to one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the world, Santiago. See the Caminhos de Santiago (St. James Way) pilgrim trail and visit a magnificent 11th-centuty cathedral.
