Of the best - It was worth it. We highly recommend it. In Asturias, I would have preferred to spend less time in the restaurant, because there was so much to see and we could not go to the beautiful beach.

While not perfect, this was a very good tour. - The guide was very knowledgeable. Her tour, such as it was, focused mostly on the area in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral. While that was nice, and interesting, I would have appreciated learning more about other parts of the old city. Language was a bit of an issue, as it was clear that while the guide could speak English (it was ,after all, a tour advertised to be conducted in English), she struggled at times finding the correct English words to convey her ideas. In addition, I often found her difficult to hear, due to all the background noise. But she definitely knew her topic and led what I thought was a terrific tour.

Good walking tour but expect to pay - Very good walking tour lasting two hours. Quite a bit of standing around in the heat. One euro is of course too good to be true and although the web does say no tips, some for, of payment is clearl6 expected and is not unreasonable. Be a bit more honest in the publicity
