Excellent and rare English speaking tour in Cuenca
We loved our extensive and informative with our informed, funny and handsome guide Serge. It was nearly impossible to find an English speaking tour in Cuenca so thank gif for Viator. The Devil’s Window stop was beautiful and the Enchanted City tour was fascinating especially because we had perfect weather. Caution for any motion sensitive person as the winding steep mountain road both to and from the Enchanted City is pretty intense. You end up right in the heart of ancient medieval Cuenca which is perfect to explore the village. A very worthwhile excursion.

Get lost in admiration in a Spanish national park!
Awesome trip to see nature's magnificence! Had a trip with Lara and it was great! She was very friendly and informative- loads of information about what we were seeing and encouraged imagination to run wild in the enchanted city! Would love to come back to Cuenca for a longer visit to the national park - truly sights to behold!

Amazing geologic adventure
This was an adventure into rural Castille-LaMancha. The bus trip stopped at the Devil's Hole before we got to the Enchanted City. The rock formations were amazing. Our guide gave an educational & entertaining presentation in both Spanish & English. His English was excellent & easy to understand.
B
Worthwhile trip
These rock formations are amazing. Trail is well set up but some step climbing is involved. If you have any mobility challenges it would be good to have a walking stick.
A
All good.
All right. We went to the Enchanted City and the Devil's Window and great. Guide Fernando also very well. The only one but it would be that the group is a little big. For this type of visits it is more comfortable groups of 10-12 people
R
Interesting visit but eye are 4 kilometers and a little strong if you are not fit. Only in good weather
It is worth the visit, but not with young children or reduced mobility or if you are not fit for age or ailments. It's four kilometers with some slopes. They don't report this well...

Great is little
We made this bridge of All Saints a visit to the Enchanted City from Cuenca with transport. Very rewarding experience we had a great time even though the day was cloudy and with some rain but our guide Jorge was more than responsible for enlivening the visit. Great knowledgeable about the area and the natural environment, gave us very easy explanations for everyone about the rock formations of the Enchanted City as well as its flora and fauna. We will return, I don't know when, but we will surely repeat any guided experience with this Enterprise. Thank you very much Cuenqueando and thank you very much Jorge

Fantastic!
Super guide who has told us so much and shown us. He knew a lot about nature and even took us to the town of UNA when that was not in the standard program. It was really great, a big kudos!
