    I signed up for a tour in English and only discovered, at the moment I was picked up, that the rest of the group was monolingual Spanish so the whole tour would be in Spanish. My Spanish was not good enough to follow most of the narrative and there was no possible way for the guide to convey all the information in both languages. She was very obliging but the tour operator had put her in an impossible position. That being said, the itinerary was excellent (though an hour free time in Santillana was too much for a very rainy day). The Altamira “neocave” is well worth seeing and the guide had a lot to show and tell about it. She was obviously well informed and enthusiastic.

    The Picos de Europa and Potes trip from Santander was fantastic. I was initially hesitant to book as I had never done anything like this, but it was one of the best things we did while in Spain. The whole trip was so easy and enjoyable. The guide was great, and gave us lots of information about all the places we saw along the way (in Spanish and English). He was also easy to get along, funny, and kept us on schedule. After the trip was over, I realized I left a bag at one of the locations and they contacted the cafe and picked the bag up for me on their next trip. Truly above and beyond, and it meant so much to me to get the bag back. We really recommend the trip and the guide!

    Paid for this as a tour so that we got an English translation. Great to see the cave formations and hear some of the history discovered. Went to see both caves both have cave drawings dating back to 40k years ago.(various stages)
    Can be slippery as ground is wet. Amazing to see it. No photos allowed and you may not get to see it in a few years time as it’s a UNESCO site and we are contaminating the site by our visits.

    My experience with Fernando and his family was everything I could have hoped for. A fantastic way of learning Spanish, experiencing the Spanish way of life while having a holiday- lots of things to do locally and in Santander. The caves at Puente Viesgo are amazing!

    A really good tour with a great tour guide. It was more than I expected but I wished we had more time to see the church next to the Gaudi house

    Have seen a recent review which noted a bad experience, I’m glad to say our experience was entirely different and found it all very positive and a good way to see the caves . Good trip and lovely guide Gabriella who had a wealth of knowledge. We had a minibus to the caves and they added in a quick viewing stop on the way which was great( added a picture below). No pictures in the cave as this is not allowed . Lovely group and smooth transition.

    The tour guides speak amazing English, which we are grateful for as we cannot speak Spanish. But be mindful that the guides do not come into the caves as it says the tour in the cave is in Spanish. This is stated in the information so we should have brushed up on some Spanish before . However despite this, the guide made every effort to give us all the information beforehand and were able to enjoy the caves.

    We did multiple trips with this company and have had a great experience each time , so mucho grasias again!

    The tour was easy to book , well organised and the tour guide Pepe was great.

    The day started off as we were informed about our transport , we were out of the main area so had to pay a surcharge - however we were well informed of this before the day.

    Pepe picked us up and was great , the other members of the group were all Spanish and we were the only British. Throughout the whole tour however Pepe would translate for us and ensure we had just as good of a time.

    The tour around the park was lovely, ensuring we had an opportunity to see all the animals and a quick visit to the reptiles at the end. We also got to go on the cable car which was lovely. Pepe was very accommodating and even gave us some restaurant recomendations on the way around. It was good fun and the other members of the group were lovely aswell - despite us not being able to speak a word of Spanish!

    Thank you for the tour, it was great or what I should say is mucho gracias!

    My husband & I wanted to see the Picos de Europa national park but didn’t want to be part of a large tour. Juan was the perfect solution. From beginning to end Juan was the ideal guide. The off road locations, beautiful villages, exhilarating vehicular ride. Juan is very knowledgeable and a delightful person to guide you through the best sights the park has to offer.

    Great experience. We were cynical about this at first, seeing so many red jackets really push selling tickets. However, after walking to magdalena palace and taking the train we decided we'd opt for the full experience.

    Very very glad we did! We'd already been there a week staying in el sardinero amd it was great to see areas we had missed.

    It was a hot day so being in the shade on the open top was fabulous and very cooling. The ticket gave us free access to the arts center, so we actually went (I'd normally skip art tbh) - so glad we did- the exhibition was AMAZING, absolutely mind-blowing. To think we might have missed it if it had not been for this service!

    We must have done the full cycle 3 times that day, with no issue with buses, times or buses being full. Audio worked really well. The buses are a little old and as I said, the sellers a little pushy. But overall great

    We will be taking this servicing everywhere we go now- Valencia in April/may. Fantastic thank you, hope it goes as well there!

    If you need some peace and quiet in your life go to Garabandal & Santo Toribio. You can also walk around in Picos of Europe and enjoy the landscape and the waterfalls. You can bring your family, specially your kids.

    An excursion for the entire family! We loved it! Kids are sure to remember this amazing experience that involved a boat tour, anchovy factory tour and tasting! Our guide was highly knowledgable and gracious to inform us of the many things that are unique to Santona and the surrounding areas! Punctual pick up and drop off in a super clean and spacious vehicle driven by our tour guide. Thank you!!
