    The tour was channelled 27mins before the departure time on the day. They simply sent an email informing the cancellation while I was already waiting for the bus at the departing point. Couldn’t the local operator communicate earlier so I can make other arrangements and contact me more directly i.e.,via phone calls ( I was waiting for the bus and may not check emails) ! It has no proper explanations for the reasons why they cancelled. This is very unprofessional and very disruptive to my day trip plan.

    Hello!!!! I live in Gijón, and Lastres, Cangas de Onís and Covadonga already knew them.... I only had the thorn of Los Lagos, which I did not visit since they took me hiking when I went to school, back in the year Xxxx... nor do I remember... I loved everything, except the massing of people up there.... and, from what I observed, there were many people more interested in taking "the picture" than in the landscape itself.... As for the staff of the company, Olaya was an excellent and very friendly Guide, apart from great knowledge of the history regarding the sites visited.... .... And what about Elijah... a crack at the wheel... his driving always conveyed security... I will repeat experience (with another destination, I think).. .. Thanks for everything...

    The tour is worth it, both the Lakes of Covadonga and the villages through which it passes are very beautiful, I would have liked to be more time in all the places we stop, but I understand that there is no time. Elias, the driver of the excursion, is a great driver and we feel safe at all times. Olaya, the Guide, did very well too, you can see that she knows a lot of history and is available for you to ask any questions.

    Notre guide et notre chauffeur de bus étaient super, très professionnels et patients avec nous, famille de français ne parlant pas un mot d’espagnol, dans un groupe constitué entièrement d’espagnols. Le bus était très moderne et confortable. Les visites du sanctuaire de Covadonga et de Cangas de Onis étaient parfaites. Dommage que le brouillard nous aie entièrement empêché de voir les lacs de Covadonga. Nous avons tout de même été bien conseillés pour occuper nos 2 heures sur place avec le centre d’interprétation et une maquette des Pics de l’Europe. Ça fait tout de même beaucoup d’heures de bus pour ne finalement pas pouvoir profiter de ce beau panorama.
