Itinerary

  • Porto (Pass By)

    Cross the border between Portugal and Spain to reach the city of Santiago de Compostela.

  • Santiago de Compostela. Casco Historico

    Discover one of the routes that take pilgrims for centuries to the city of Santiago de Compostela, the famous Camino de Santiago. Seen as a kind of affirmation of the Catholic faith and devotion of those who walk it, this road connects various points of Europe to this Spanish city. An incredible network that serves as a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the apostle Santiago in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.

    45 minutes

  • Cathedral De Santiago de Compostela

    Finally, we can enjoy the stunning Santiago de Compostela Cathedral - the ultimate goal! - for many pilgrims from all over the world. In Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque style, this Cathedral is a true landmark, not only in Galicia, but also throughout Spain.

    45 minutes

  • Santiago de Compostela

    It's time to enjoy a delicious tapas lunch at a traditional restaurant in the historic area of Santiago de Compostela. This typical area, full of history and traditions, is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    You just had a great experience in Santiago. Now say goodbye to Spain and return to Portugal: there are still plenty of places to discover on this full day tour! We will head towards Valença do Minho, an iconic city in northern Portugal of a unique and respected work of art: the Heart of Viana, in Portuguese filigree. This "Heart of Viana" is the true medal of Portugal and has a strong importance in the region of Minho. A golden heart that will surprise you.

    45 minutes

  • Fortaleza de Valenca

    Discover the city's biggest tourist attraction: the Fortress, built to protect the village from Spanish attacks. An impressive medieval structure with two strong towers and a large double wall designed in the Vauban style, a military architect. You will have enough time to explore the incredible Fortress before safely returning to Porto. Take as many photos as you want and save this tour forever in your mind!

Go for the charming town. Spend more time there in your own

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour with Manuel. We spoke with him during the drive plus for the initial guidance in Santiago de Compostela. Highlights: the town is beautiful and you will love the architecture and ambience. Recommendations after my visit: you can skip lunch and spend more time in the town. Best part: the mercado in the town. Nice people. Then the Border between Spain and Portugal is worth seeing. Beautiful surrounded by the forts.

Miguel and Manuel 7 star hospitality!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Miguel and Manuel were bloody amazing!!! I booked with this company 3 more times because of Miguel and Manuel, sadly they were the best. I recommend NOT requesting Diogo, he was the worst but different tour (Braga and Guixamares).

A must do trip with Jorge!

Published on Sep, 2024

We traveled with Jorge, our guide. The trip was in English and French. Jorge was an excellent guide and driver. We had the included lunch. The day was stunning and the stop in Valenca was a cute town to see as we drove back to Porto. This trip is a must when in Porto.

tour in September

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour guide, Alexander was amazing! Hos knowledge of history as we drove to campostela was excellent and he was unfersranding to those that have physical disabilities. We all have fun in the van! Thank you very much for showing us around.

A fun day trip to another country

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a great trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lunch in Santiago was first class. Visit to Valença on return journey was fun.
