History, Architecture and Views. - I learned an incredible amount about the history and architecture in Cuenca on this tour. It takes you through a rabbit warren of streets that date back to the Moorish times. The views are breathtaking, particularly at dusk. The tour guide conducted the tour in Spanish which for us was not an issue but he would pull us aside every now and again to ensure that we did know what he was saying. I appreciated that.

History and great views - The visit was short, our Guide was Pablo, very friendly and with many anecdotes we laughed and had a great time. Always looking for a place to be comfortable despite being a group of 50 people, happy to answer any questions or curiosities, we showed beautiful corners and the views were incredible at night. We'll do more routes with him again.

Culture and contact with people from Cuenca - The night visit is the best way to end the day and hear the history of the city from local people. Thanks to our guide Carlos and Pablo the owner of the company.

Recommended without hesitation. - Everything perfect. Punctuality, seriousness and above all the guide, Hugo, who with his kindness, knowledge of the city and its history, perfectly told with rigor and humor, makes the almost two hours feel short. Cuenca deserves much more attention than almost all of us give it, and with a guide of this level it is much more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Fantastic basin... with guide - A 10 for Hugo! A guide who, seasoning the visit with humor and jokes, made us see that there is a Cuenca beyond the photos and maps, adding incredible enthusiasm to the matter. And we were alone on the visit... Thank you for making us have such a good time. Greetings from Catalonia.
PS: thank you also for the recommendation of the broth, it left us feeling like new.

Very good and considerate - We booked several tours with them, the first day we had an appointment at 11:30 and the guide, upon seeing us arrive with a car, recommended that we not think about looking for a baby backpack and do it the next day and thank goodness.
We bought the baby backpack and did the night tour and it was very nice and the guide was incredible.
The next morning we took the 11:30 tour and it was very good too.
They also had the patience to wait for us to arrive because we were quite tight.
Both guides recommend what to see and advise restaurants, visits or excursions.

Terrible, guide who doesn't want to work! - We reserved a place for the visit at 6:30 p.m. on December 10 and organized the agenda for the rest of the day. At 6:25 p.m. we go to the meeting point and upon identifying the guide (Hugo), he “invites” us not to make the visit. That if we are unconscious, with the cold it is, that if the best thing we can do is go and have a cup of broth, that he is forced to be there, but if not he would be somewhere else... We leave looking like fools and annoyed for not having been able to see Cuenca on a guided tour. If the worker is not willing to do what they are paid, do not give the option of visits at 6:30 p.m. They tell us that only at 11:30 a.m. and we organize the agenda accordingly. And we cannot say more about the professionalism of the guide, it seems that it is only cold on December 10 in Cuenca…
