Picked up in minivan with another couple by the guide, who was very friendly, excellent English, knowledgeable and couldn't do more for us. Enjoyed a great day with stops in Morella and Peñíscola. Only small negative we found was the amount of free time in Morella to cover lunch was limited and so we had to rush our meal, but that's very minor and we really enjoyed our day out. Great comms from the tour company too.

Visiting the Morella and Peniscola castles, and learning the history and cultures. great scenery, great day with a friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver.

Excellent trip, the castle and the surrounding views are spectacular, and Miguel is a kind and knowledgeable guide, passionate about the place's history.

Very good, a great guide with whom we delved fully into history.

I enjoyed seeing the GOT filming areas and the entire town.
