We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.

We had a brilliant time on the tour to Covadonga Lakes. The day was full and well worth the money. Our guide spoke good English and was very informative and friendly. We saw many places and stopped at lovely cafes for coffee breaks. Truly recommend! ????

This experience gives you the opportunity to be a real Oventense (person from Oviedo) for a day, by doing something they love: walking a Senda Verde (green route), relaxing in an old Spa and enjoying a typical Asturian lunch! You start in Parque de Invierno in the south of Oviedo. The route follows an old railway line, about which your guide tells you more during the hike. The car-free road starts in the park but soon leads through the Asturian countryside. You walk through old train tunnels and cross Asturias' most important river, the Nalon. During your hike the guide tells you more about the natural surroundings, history, culture and gastronomy of Asturias. After 10k, you arrive at the Spa in Las Caldas where you spend 2.5 hours in its warm water and saunas. After this, you enjoy a well-deserved Menu del Dia (three-course menu) in one of the village's restaurants. Then, a private car brings you back to Oviedo.

Inclusions: You're served a typical Asturian lunch or Menu del Dia; a three-course meal including drinks in one of the village's local restaurants., Snack and a bottle of water, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: The entrance ticket to the Spa (between 14 and 25 euros pp, depending on the season)

Debora was a fantastic guide for the El Camino Santiago!! She communicated with us before hand and kept us up to date. Explaining how to get to the cathedral could improve, but so minor in the whole experience. She was very knowledgeable about the Camino and sights along the way. I am 68 and in fair shape. The hike was a challenge, but she was very considerate and encouraging. I finished and it was an amazing experience. Plus, we had a beautiful day. Debora also had s walking stick for me that was a great help!
