Natural beauty and history - Excellent Tour! The guide (I don't remember his name but we took the tour on October 26 to the lakes of Covadonga) was wonderful. He explained in a very pleasant and detailed way the whole story. Congratulations on that very prepared guide you have.

Great Excursion - Great day excursion! Natural beauty of the lakes is stunning. Very glad that I left the driving to a professional as the road to and from the lakes was a bit dodgy with lots of curves on a narrow roadway. Much more relaxing as a passenger.

beautiful lakes of the Picos de Europa and the historical Covadonga - This tour is a good way to cover scenic parts of the Picos de Europa national park including the historically significant Covadonga. I learnt a bit of Asturian history too. Our guides expertly led us through the sites in the midst of a holiday crowd of other tourists and managed to give us free time to explore a bit more of some locations. A very well spent day.

Climbing mountain and going down to shore flies in history - Tremendous experience and excursion, guided by Luna, expert geologist who drains you from the top of the peaks, to the coast in Lastres. Enjoyable explanations, mixing nature and history. Definitely a perfect day!!

So much easier to see... - So much easier to see these sights with a group than on your own. The guide did a great job in Spanish and English.

Appropriate dress. - It is appropriate to be prepared to walk on the mountain; I want to say that both shoes and clothing are appropriate. And it is also advisable to get it right, check the weather forecast.
