Description

Enjoy a totally private tour from Porto to Santiago de Compostela and Valença do Minho.
One of the world's greatest Christian pilgrimage destinations, Santiago de Compostela is also a city steeped in history and culture.

The tour begins with pick-up from the client's hotel in Porto.

Visit to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to attend the pilgrim's mass celebrated at the main altar of the cathedral every day at 12 noon. One of the cathedral's greatest symbols is the botafumeiro, perhaps the largest incense burner in the world, which operates during the main solemnities as a tribute from the city of Santiago to the pilgrim.

Meanwhile, we take a panoramic tour of the Plaza del Obradoiro, its magnificent cathedral and the Parador Hostal de los Reyes Católicos.

Free time for lunch in Santiago de Compostela.

There will also be time to visit Valença's local shops. The city is a benchmark for good shopping throughout the Iberian Peninsula, with everything from the most historic stores to the most modern. Considered to be one of the largest open-air shopping areas in Europe, the area inside the Valença Fortress is full of traditional stores. It's a unique experience that impresses everyone who visits Valença!

The day ends with a drop-off at the client's hotel in Porto.
