Rooftop tours

[Momwiz]

We are currently in Lalín on our way to Santiago. Are the rooftop tours still available? I read somewhere that perhaps the roof is being restored and tours are not available. We will be there this Saturday, September 16!

The roof top tours are wonderful and am glad that they are available. I'm scared of heights but it was so well worth it. As usual, a totally different perspective offered within the Camino.

I was in Santiago three days ago. Make sure you book online as they were booked out when I was there

I went to the cathedral site and didn’t see this tour. Can anyone point to where you can reserve tickets? Thanks!

The rooftop tour is definitely a different and wonderful perspective of the Camino. I loved doing it twice; my first one in 2015 was in English, thankfully. The second time in 2017 it was only offered in Spanish for the timeframe I needed so I didn't understand a word said, but the views can be fully appreciated anyway as they "speak" for themselves.

Ditto, only in Spanish in 2018 but worth every euro and every minute for all the views and insights. Gracias, Sabine, I will book for October 4. Buen Camino

The night time tour is amazing. Only in Spanish but you see so much with fewer people inside.

Well, that would be very interesting to see. Do you have a picture to share?

Sure. They also take you into the altar area.

Nice!
Can you see much of the city lit up in lights when they take you up on the roof for viewing?

It’s only an indoor tour

I did it in May ! Worth it absolutely
You have to ask a ticket for La torre de Carraca

Did it ! A little daunting for a 76 year old but it was great!

Took one if my hiking poles and needed it

How many flights of stairs are required on the rooftop tours of the cathedral? Not a problem for me, but I will be meeting a non-pilgrim in Santiago who might find it difficult to ascend stairs for more than two floors or so of height.

I’m not entirely sure but certainly more than 2. It seemed perhaps like 8. Be sure that person does not have balance issues as well. She or he will be going up slanted steps while on the roof.

I see four options for the tours. Any difference other than pricing for senior citizen, pilgrim, etc.
Why does some options tell you that you need to purchase the same number of tickets for the Portico?
