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

We had a great time with Mikel, polite and enjoyed the conversation. He is a local and very generous with his knowledge of the area. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.

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.

Luis nos condujo a lo largo de los preciosos nevados Pirineos y nos acompañó con gran calidez, respeto y paciencia, durante la Peregrinación a los Santuarios de Lourdes. Ha sido una experiencia sobrenatural. Se escucha el canto de los pajaritos, el ruido del Río Gave que pasa al lado de la gruta de Massiabelle. Tocar y probar el agua que brota del manantial, cristalina, pura, tan luminosa… sobrepasa los sentidos. Se siente la presencia celestial que nos invade de paz, de gozo e inexplicable felicidad. Ser testigo de esa sensación es algo que se tiene que compartir con los demás. La FE es el ingrediente secreto para ver más allá de lo que alcanzan a percibir los sentidos. Es esa fuerza interior que se siente atraída hacia las rocas de la gruta y para atrapar el agua. Es el deseo de encender una vela … de incluir los nombres de nuestros seres queridos enfermos en la cajita de intenciones que está al lado… es querer rezar un rosario con devoción… es implorar por la salud de alma, mente, cuerpo y espíritu. Si pueden peregrinar a estos bellos santuarios (del Rosario, la Cripta que expone al Santísimo, la gruta, y le nueva Basílica de Pío Ix) será una de las mejores experiencias sobrenaturales de su vida! Acudan a Nuestra Señora de Lourdes en Francia, serán bendecidos…

El guía Markel hizo un magnífico trabajo. Domina todo lo relacionado con Lourdes y es muy amable. Lo explica todo, de forma muy grata.

Buena atención por parte del guía. El recorrido es suficiente para conocer y la explicación muy buena del guía. Buena opción quedarse a almorzar en algún restaurante cercano para comer pato.

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.

Un sitio precioso y acogedor en el que todos los asistentes son unidos por la FE de la Virgen de Lourdes. Enclave increíble. Merece la pena sin lugar a dudas.
