5.00A lovely day out, very glad spaces opened up after a cancellation. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and it's history, and his English translations very clear. It would have been nice to have a little more time at the top of the Picos as it is so beautiful up there, very worth the entrance fee for cable car and we were lucky with the clear vistas. Definitely recommend the whole trip especially if you don't have your own transport.
All good

5.00Jaido, our guide was very good! He knew so much abt history and other background information bits here and there and shared it to the group. He picked us up on time from the hotel and was very helpful and accommodating. At the end of the trip, albeit late, he made sure to drop us off back to our hotel. I travelled with a toddler and a carseat was provided.
