Description

Let yourself be enchanted by Vigo's urban charm exploring its streets and visiting its most emblematic monuments on this free walking tour of the Galician city.

Free Walking Tour of Vigo

On the day of the free walking tour, we'll meet in Praza Porta do Sol, a square in the heart of Vigo, where you'll find the famous sculpture of "O Sireno", the symbol of the Galician city.

From there, we'll head towards one of the city's treasures, little known by tourists, where you'll be able to enjoy spectacular views of Vigo and its estuary.

We'll continue our free guided tour through the main streets and squares of the historic centre, where we'll learn about the history of the city and some of the famous figures who have made Vigo a tourist attraction.

Next, we'll head to the harbour and the landscaped avenues of the nautical area, where our guide will tell us all about the development of the city, its migratory history and the legends of sunken treasures that surround Vigo.

Groups

We do not accept bookings for groups of more than 6 people on our free tour. If you are a larger group, you must book a private tour of Vigo.

Ha sido un repaso magnifico de la historia de la ciudad de Vigo, y nuestro guía Jorge ha sabido mantener el interés a pesar de las condiciones metereológicas. Nos ha sorprendido gratamente, creo que repetiremos y ha sido tal el interés suscitado en cuanto a arquitectura, economía, hechos historicos, que seguiremos de cerca nuevos eventos.

Conocí bastante historia y actualidad de Vigo, donde nunca había estado anteriormente. Aun con la lluvia, fue muy ameno y muy divertido. El guía es un fuera de serie, ya no sólo por si conocimiento de Vigo, de su gente y de su historia, sino también por su manera de transmitir. Translate this opinion into English.

I learned a lot about the history and current events of Vigo, where I had never been before. Even with the rain, it was very pleasant and fun. The guide is outstanding, not only for his knowledge of Vigo, its people and its history, but also for his way of communicating. Opinion translated. Show original.

No pudimos asistir todos, porque la actividad FIGURA como accesible para silla de ruedas y es imposible transitar el recorrido con ella, a pesar de la existencia de escaleras mecánicas y ascensores. Es una ciudad en falda de montaña, muy bonita, pero con calles totalmente empinadas. Está actividad no debería figurar como accesible en silla de ruedas. Por otro lado, el guía, Alexis, super amable, nos ha contado con detalle el recorrido a quienes pudimos hacerlo. Translate this opinion into English.

We were not able to attend all of them, because the activity is listed as wheelchair accessible and it is impossible to navigate the route with a wheelchair, despite the existence of escalators and elevators. It is a city on the mountainside, very pretty, but with very steep streets. This activity should not be listed as wheelchair accessible. On the other hand, the guide, Alexis, was super friendly and told us in detail about the route to those of us who were able to do it. Opinion translated. Show original.
