Amazing Experience! - This trip was exclusively to visit Our Lady of Lourdes on our 38th wedding anniversary. Dani (Daniel) was our tour guide and he was exceptional! He arrived to our hotel on time, was courteous, friendly, very knowledgeable. Our Lady Of Lourdes was amazing and the Grotto was beautiful. This experience is life changing and having a great tour guide made it the best it could be. Thank you and highly recommend this tour with Dani.

Pilgrimage - Place for those who believe, it is not a tourist tour. We were, by chance, in the same period as the International Military Pilgrimage for which it was full of musical bands and boys in uniform.

Excellent Service Provided - The excursion was phenomenal, but above all the red carpet service that our guide Telmo gave us. First-class service, treatment that surpasses courtesy, kindness, desire and longing for everything to be perfect. His professionalism has no explanation. Telmo is definitely a cause and reason to travel again with Ikusnahi Tours. What a way to treat travelers and what a way to make us feel at home. Telmo, I congratulate you for your excellent work and I would really like to say much more but there are still too many words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, because both my wife and I had the time of our lives. Good luck and we hope to meet again as it would be a delight.

Took about two hours to get to Lourdes, but for us we was worth the trip. - This was a great tour, our guide was on time to pick us up at the hotel. He was knowledgeable about the history of Lourdes. He took the time to take numerous pictures for us.

As the title of the excursion states it was a private spiritual experience - Our guide Markel was so knowledgeable about Lourdes that the most memorable part of the excursion was walking the campus listening to him about the history of this blessed place
