Lovely sights!

Published on Nov, 2024

Somehow ended up being two couples only with Stefan as guide. It was very good unlike the too large and rushed tours we have taken over the past two weeks. Stefan was very knowledgeable, funny, friendly and hospitable.

Great day trip

Phantastic Trip, great mixture of sights. Estafan was a competent and entertaining guide. He brought it all to life with his amazing knowledge.

Certainly worth a visit

Published on Sep, 2024

Covadonga is certainly worth a visit. The basilica there was built in honour of St Ignatious Loyola. The basilica itself is well worth a visit but so is the tiny chapel in the rock along with other buildings. There is a large car park too. You can spend several hours there, there are toilets and a little Café. It is an impressively built place. We went on a fine day, it's high up in the Picos de Europe.

Great Trip

Great experience. Tour guide was very informative, friendly and punctual. Enjoyed all the stops. The view from on top of the mountain upon San Sebastián/playa concha was breathtaking.

First visit to Bilbao

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide was good and shared bilingual Spanish and English. We had a predominate Spanish speaking group , so there are still dynamics you must absorb in being the minority , but he did a good job of managing it. He even tried to get 4 English speaking people on the tour to sit in front of the bus to avoid having the microphone on for both translations, but people who had entered the bus anchored those seats and would not move when requested. Our point. Wing he managed the situation very well and a were made to be welcome . I would do this tour again . Might consider San Sebastián on a day other than Saturday as the locals had many of the restaurants covered. But we worked through that too.
