Excellent walking tour of Santander, with English speaking guide. - English speaking walking tour of Santander. Our guide was excellent, sharing her knowledge and using visual illustrations as well as perfect spoken English to describe Santander's history and the current day. The tour was at a good walking pace and not rushed. We were given lots of time to absorb all the information and details. She showed a real commitment to her customer and her tour, as we were late arriving due to our mistake over the correct meeting point, and despite the chilly day, she waited for us and was very understanding. Lorena's tour is amazing value for money, her knowledge and delivery of information was given with warmth and humour. I strongly recommend this walking tour to tourists who appreciate the detail and knowledge of the tour guides, but whose limited knowledge of the Spanish language would not allow them to comprehend all the detail. Lorena was excellent, and thank you for waiting for us, and sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the City. It was a pleasure 😊
