What To Expect
San Vicente de la Barquera
This seaside village looks out over the Cantabrian Sea, accompanied by its famous castle, the remnants of its city walls, and the Picos de Europa in the background. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Cantabria, thanks to its historical heritage, beautiful views, and the peaceful walks offered by its streets. With the local guide, you can learn about its maritime vocation, the history of the Church of Santa María de los Ángeles—one of the city's main monuments—or the monumental ensemble of the old town of San Vicente, now declared a Cultural Heritage Site.
Llanes
Our itinerary continues towards Llanes, about half an hour away. This is one of the most chosen summer destinations in Asturias, both for its leisure offer and for the beautiful places that can be visited here. Again following our guide we will learn more about the most important places, its Casino, its tower, from the 13th century, the Palace of the Dukes of Estrada or the Gates of Llanes. There will also be time for well-known spaces such as the “Parres Sobrino” square, which rose to fame with the movie “El Orfanato”, which was shot in Llanes. Here we can enjoy free time to continue exploring a bit on our own, or to return to the places that we liked the most.

3.00You will definitely get your daily steps in on this walking tour of Asturian / Catabrian coastal towns. I’m sure some interesting information about the sites was shared, but those of us who had signed up for a tour in English will never know. All remarks were in Spanish and no effort was made to translate anything into English, unless we asked specific questions of the guide. Unfortunately Buen Dia Tours does not understand the difference between providing a tour in English and simply providing a guide who can speak English. They really should not pretend that they are offering tours in English.

1.00Viator cancelled the tour. Very disappointed, next time I will go with another operator in the area.
Worth seeing as some of these places are not easily accessible unless you have a car.

5.00Enjoyed seeing the beautiful coastline and beaches. We had a great guide, Santiago and even though we knew it was a Spanish speaking only he went out of his way to explain things to us in English.
Disappointed, bait and switch!

1.00We have used Viators many times throughout the world. This tour was very disappointing. We paid for a tour in English and allotted our vacation accordingly, however when we got to Buendia at 8:30 am we were told that the tour guide would give the tour in Spanish, not English. We were told that the guide would announce in English the arrival times to be at the bus and that he would speak slowly. That didn’t happen, he spoke quickly and my husband and I spent the tour looking at Google Translate, since we had to look at the phone we couldn’t pay attention to the scenery and couldn’t understand him. Then we got to our rest stop after 1 1/2 hours but it was closed so we couldn’t use the facilities. We then spent the next half hour looking for facilities. That said we really didn’t get much out of the tour and were very disappointed. Viator should have texted or emailed me about the guide.
Excellent tour operator Buendía
