Horrible experience
This is the most disappointing experience of my life. I plan an entire week around visiting this castle, and this company canceled on me the last minute.. I’ve been waiting all week. This was my last day here to visit the one thing I was so excited about and they canceled just absolutely canceled. I’m in this disgusting bus station waiting for no one to show up.

Olite-Unjué Tour with Eider
When you finish a tour thinking that you would like to be a colleague of your guide... little else can be said. The Olite-Ujué tour was a luxury with Eider, who shared his passion and knowledge about the culture of his land. To highlight the crumbs we tried new arrivals in Ujué that charged our batteries to continue the journey.

Great experience with Eider
We have spent a great day visiting Olite and Ujué hand in hand with Eider, a very attentive and helpful girl and who likes her work

In the darkness of the royal palace
El Greco undoubtedly deserves it. Not the setup in the royal palace. Bad lighting. But it is not the first time that the exhibitions at the royal palace have been poorly set up
