We enjoyed the visit to monastery and Potes, my young adults say the best part was the teleférico and walking around the mountaintop (well worth the extra fee for this portion). Thank you to Haildo for a memorable family day!
It was a great ride. Lots of useful information, the cable car was superb, the monastery was fine, I had a great day!
Fantastic experience and full of historical details, with the help of the guide Maria Have taken care to always be attentive to requests.
A 10-hour trip, with a coffee/pee break along the way. The first stop is at the monastery, which is quite small. Dan visited Potes, where after a short orientation you have 2 hours of free time, for lunch among other things. Nice little village. Finally, the cable car of Fuente De. This is payable separately the day before. Has great advantage that you should not queue, but the disadvantage that if it is cloudy or foggy, you have paid for nothing. The guide/driver was informative and careful driver.
Hello, my name is Inés. I did not know this agency. I let myself be guided by the good reviews you have. I am from here, from Cantabria. We had Pepe as our guide, a charming, involved young man, a professional. We were delighted. A memorable experience. Thank you very much! It was a perfect day!
Carlos is a magnificent guide. With a lot of culture, knowledge, and good sense. He drives well, is pleasant, cautious... in short, a 10 in his field.
First of all, the attention and kindness of Pepe at all times, they pick you up at the hotel, explain everything very well, we would hire again without hesitation.
The trip was well planned and ran very smoothly. Our guide, Maria, was warm, knowledgeable and took great care to make sure us English-speakers were included in the conversations. We went in May and hadn’t realised there would be snow! So make sure to wrap up warm.
Great day out to Picos De Europa. Would recommend with this travel company and Pepe. We had good weather and so amazing views and not cold at the top. Lots of butterflies near the lakes and also deer in the distance. Monastery was a quick stop but good to see and loved the town of Potes on the river. Pepe had recommendations and answered everyone's questions. He gave detailed commentary on the way in Spanish and English. Was also a good driver. 1.45hrs at Picos was enough for a longish walk at the top. 2hrs in Potes was a good length of time for lunch and exploring the town and 15th century tower. Well worth the long day out. We had the mini bus so just 6 of us including the guide. Could fit one more.
We had an amazing day at Picos de Europa. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable, giving lots of information and recommendations.
