The Top of Cantabria

Published on Dec, 2024

The visit to Picos was a nice contrast to the offerings of Santander, and Potes certainly earns its most picturesque town in Spain recognition ... in spades! Gabriela was very knowledgeable, patient and professional, and provided a highly personalized experience.

Fantastic trip and guide!!

Published on Nov, 2024

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!

Outstanding scenery

The scenery, and the drive was outstanding. Pepe was more than helpful and knowledgeable. This excursion made my whole time in Santander worth while.

Great tour and lovely guide

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour was great and got to see lots of sights. The guide was able to discuss in Spanish and English and gave us details to everything happening that day. Lots of driving so be mindful of this, but that is needed to get out to the sights ! Thankyou
