When we arrived to Compostela, it was pouring rain which is very common for this season. Also, it is common that the rain would calm down in 5-10 mins. Instead of telling us, let's wait in the bus for a couple of minutes, and then we would leave, we were asked to get off the bus in and walked to the site. You might think that they are on a tight schedule but that's not the case because when we were asked to return to the bus station by 3pm to leave for Porto, all except the tour guide and the tour bus were present. We waited for them and left 10 mins late. Allowing that 10 mins in the beginning would have made such a difference. We walked around completely soaked all day and got sick the next. Next time, please put your guests need first and don't make them walk in heavy rain when it is easy avoidable with waiting in the bus for 5-10 mins.

Com o guia/condutor da Van, que trabalhou para que nao conseguíssemos partismcipar da missa... faz de tudo para que chegássemos em Santiago faltando 5 minutos para as 12h e a catedral já estava fechada para entrada de peregrinos. Uma viagem longa onde o cpntratante do serviço não usufruio por v9mpleto ... na volta parou em Valença do Minho, que não somou nada... Sugestão esse pass é io só atender Santiago de Compostela...
