This complete tour to Santiago de Compostela from Oporto will allow you to get to know two cities as different as they are interesting in just one day. You will depart from Porto in the direction of Santiago de Compostela with an expert local guide who will accompany you throughout the excursion.
The guide may take advantage of the bus ride to give you information about this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once in Santiago, you'll take a guided tour that will give you a panoramic view of the city.
You will walk through its streets full of history, visit the iconic pilgrimage site of the Camino de Santiago and have free time to visit the emblematic Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on your own. If you choose the option with lunch included, you will have the opportunity to taste the local gastronomy in a traditional restaurant.
