Live guide in English · 2–3 hours · Stops at the Casa de las Conchas · ★4.7 from 92 reviews
The best-rated introduction to Salamanca, and the tour to book if you want someone to explain the Casa de las Conchas. Your guide meets you in the Plaza Mayor and leads a small group through the old city's sandstone landmarks.
From the Baroque square you walk to the Clerecía, then to the Casa de las Conchas for its shells, grilles and courtyard. The route continues through the patios of the university, one of the oldest in Europe, to a hidden ceiling painting known as the Sky of Salamanca, and ends with the Old and New Cathedrals.
An extended option lets you add two more monuments, such as the university's historic buildings, the Convent of San Esteban or the cathedral towers.
It's the walk that stops longest at the Casa de las Conchas, and reviewers single out the guides' local knowledge and good pace. Guides work in English, Spanish, Dutch and German. Entry fees for the paid monuments aren't included in the basic option.

It's your first time in Salamanca and you want the history of the Casa de las Conchas and the rest of the old town in one morning.
You'd rather explore at your own pace: the house is free, and the cathedral ticket comes with an audio guide.
