We booked the Cuenca tour... - We booked the Cuenca tour with a visit to Ventano del Diablo, La Ciudad Encantada, and of course Cuenca and the casas colgadas. The tour was exceptional, well planned logistically, on time, with clean and comfortable transportation for the group. Fernando was the best tour guide of all the tours we experienced in Spain. His personal connection to Cuenca shines while explaining each well planned stop along the tour. There is a bit of walking, but virtually all “downhill” which accommodates 99% of tourists so do not worry. We had free time for lunch and there were several options to choose, we enjoyed lunch at the grilled meat parrillada restaurant. This was an excellent tour, well run and managed, with tour guide Fernando and driver Jose. The family is all in agreement that we highly recommend this tour for everyone considering . Do not hesitate, book and enjoy.

A good day-venture - Excellent tour. Excellent guide. Only recommended change, guide should direct attendees to restaurants inside the city walls. The top one he recommended up where the bus parked was horrible. Service was horrible, food bland and we lost a lot of site seeing time because the service was so slow. El Castillo lost our order and had to come re-take it and then it still took forever. But that takes nothing from the tour. It was a perfect itinerary for a day, got to see a lot at a good pace. Would definitely recommend.

A most memorable day - The viewpoint over the canyon, the Enchanted City visit, the cathedral and town visit, the meal in Cuennca and the journey from and back to Madrid made this a wonderful days excursion. Thank you to Fernando for adding to the enjoyment of the trip and his excellent driver Jose.

amazing place to visit - it was a very good day tour from Madrid. the tour was well organized. our tour guide Patti was excellent. she gave us a lot of information about the places we visited. I especially appreciated that she didn't neglect my friend and I, since we were the only two persons who don't understand Spanish. She explained everything in English to us. I highly recommend this day tour. Cuenca is an amazing place to visit.

Enchanting Cuenca - Cuenca is very unusual & quaint with its natural rock formations. Although the trek through this city was tough with steps, uneven ground & pebbles, it was worth the effort to see unspoilt nature. Our guide, Fernando, was very humorous & informative which made this tour very enjoyable although initially we thought we had erroneously joined a Spanish speaking tour.

The whole trip. - It was a very pleasant day, I toured the entire Ciudad Encanta, even though I am 84 years old, and my feet are very damaged. It was worth the effort. A very beautiful day, with charming landscapes.
