3.00The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the park but in the description of the tour wine and tapas were included. The wine and tapas were not included during the tour but rather you must go to a different location and show your ticket to get the wine and tapas after the tour was completed.

5.00I had such an amazing day with Irene. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Spain and was so patient with me keeping up. She made me want to stay and study the Spanish History. It was indeed rewarding and refreshing for there were so many fascinating true stories she told. I give this tour 2 thumps up! A definite must do when visiting Spain! Thanks again for all my awesome pictures you took for me!
