We enjoyed our day very much.The highlight of the trip was visiting Cuenca and the hanging houses. The guide Fernando was very informative and knowledgeable about the area we visited. Only suggestion would be to spend less time in the Enchanted park and more time in actual Cuenca. Overall very nice day!

Excellent Tour organization with good guide and driver to start off the trip, We whole heartley enjoyed the day trip to Cuenca. It was raining and gloomy but our guide's passion effectively took us back to history. I would definitely recommend without any hesitation.

A pesar del mal tiempo. La experiencia fue maravillosa y la historia contada desde el punto de vista del arte te da un conocimiento extra. Nos ha gustado mucho y la guía Marta ha sido genial.
