breath of fresh air - The last bit to the lakes is a challenge. Also for our driver. It is, however, worthwhile. We were lucky enough to walk around in good weather. The clean clear air, the sound of cowbells, the vultures. We had a great time.

It is absolutely... - It is absolutely beautiful, but we are good shoes because there’s quite a bit of hiking and walking involved. Nothing overly difficult but a little bit strenuous and you just need good shoes bring a raincoat just in case.

A literal postcard - This was the best tour I took in Asturias. “Luna” was an excellent guide and well communicated. On this tour you walk a lot but the landscape on the lakes deserves all that effort. The view of the lakes, landscape and sanctuary was very impressive.

Magnificent - Everything very nice, the great guide, gives a lot of information, the visit to Lastres would have preferred not to do it because you are very little time and it is already heavy the trip. Overall I recommend it

Recommended - Very good experience. The Alexandra guide is very nice, and has explained the history of the sites we have visited in a very dynamic way. The only catch would be that the visits to Covadonga and Cangas de Onís were a little short, we had to run to be on time.

Very enjoyable and complete excursion - It is an excellent excursion for those who have never visited these key points of Asturias. While you could enjoy your time on your own and without any restrictions, this excursion is very complete, it is well priced, and you have enough time to see everything without too much haste. Also, the explanations of guide David are very good and shows a friendly and helpful treatment. In Lastres we only stop for a while to attend to the explanations of the guide, see the sea and then return.
