Manu is the best human being that I meet in my life. Awesome guy and guide. We had a lot of fun! Manu is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed this experience. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. All respect for Manu who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide!

we had 3 guides that were so friendly, with added humour, this was great and really got you engaged. they were very knowledgeable and we felt looked after from the moment we were picked up to when we were dropped off. monsteraat was beautiful and the added 4 course meal was lovely finished off with wine tasting and a lot of history.

This was excellent and our guide Thais was fabulous. Our best outing in Spain!!!!!

We had a hard time finding the blue flag for the tour of the old town

We had a fantastic day touring. Our guide, Thais was amazing.
