Basin, that city do not know

5.00I had already been to the city and I found it fantastic. However, with the guided route of Artemis and his partner the experience was much better. Experts in the city, especially the cathedral, friendly and at least in their explanations, we toured the unknown Basin that we would not have reached without their help. It is a frankly recommended experience, to repeat, no doubt. Thank you both very much.
Very complete tour, Lucas...

5.00We were going to visit the mysterious Cuenca, but a storm left us wanting. They offered us a visit to Cuenca Monumental, the truth is that it was a great success. We were 5 adults and 1 10-year-old girl, we were all delighted. The visit was pleasant, enjoyable, entertaining and interesting. Our guide Angela, in addition to being a professional, made the route fun, with curious facts, the 2-hour duration passed in a flash. 100% recommended. Without a doubt we would choose Ángela and Tempus Cuenca again. A 10.

5.00We went to Cuenca in the morning and Angela welcomed us wonderfully. She showed us the main places in the city. The truth is that it was interesting as well as entertaining. In the afternoon we repeated the legends tour with her and she did not disappoint.

5.00The visit has been exciting, with a guide (Alejandro) who has shared very eclectic and interesting information. (historical data, anecdotes, poetic and musical references...). The two hours have flown by! I recommend this tour, and also visiting Cuenca, which is wonderful. Thank you.
An outstanding. A luxury to have Alejandro as a guide

5.00The whole experience is worth it, it is two hours of guided tour and time flies by. Our unbeatable guide Alejandro is a great professional and makes an incredible historical foray

5.00The visit was spectacular; Hilario describes and narrates Cuenca’s history by intensely vicarious and expressing the love he has for his city. It is really welcoming and makes you part of its history and customs. The truth is that time passes too quickly and there are no steps or corners that do not have history to tell. Thank you Hilario for the guide, history and enthusiasm shown. You have two friends in Seville. A hug, David.
