What people are saying about Asturias, Spain

Esmeralda was a sensational guide, the day of our tour, four people arrived 25 minutes late and we had to go to the lakes, one of the people who arrived late, reproached Esmeralda for no reason, that they had not been expected, she was very cordial He apologized and commented that all the rest of the bus had arrived on time, and we could not leave so late, he behaved 10. The explanations during the journey were sensational, including husks that made the trip through winding roads very enjoyable and pleasant . The time to see both the Lakes and the area of the Church of Covadonga is sufficient. There was even enough to have a cider in the two places after sightseeing. A highly recommended and fun trip, where you can take a first contact with the Picos de Europa National Park.

A very pleasant excursion with many beautiful things to visit. It would be convenient if two people go together to place them on the bus together since we had to go separately and there were people who went alone and could get together.

Extraordinary .. the Esmeralda guide is a professional with a great desire to make us enjoy the history of her land .. all of this is highly recommended

It was a really nice trip, Miguel is a perfect tourist guide who knows a lot from the history of Asturias.
