The caves at Aracena - Carlos (guide) and Lola (driver) make an excellent team. Carlos was very knowledgeable. The tour was well organised with plenty of stops for photo opportunities. The caves at Aracena are well worth a visit.

RIO TINTO, incredible scenery. - The tour of the Rio Tinto mines was an exciting discovery orchestrated by our Pro Geology and History Guide. Stunning landscapes, unique, magnificent and beautiful. The choice of the village of Almonaster de la Real in the program of this visit is great. A gem away from the crowd in the authenticity of local life. As for the Gruta de las Maravillosas, a true fairy tale, even for regulars to visit the caves of Périgord. This journey has enchanted us beyond what we had imagined. A big thank you to Sergio!

Trip suitable for everyone - Well organized tour. Among the various meeting points there was one right next to our Accommodation. We boarded a 19-seat bus dedicated entirely to the tour. Our Guide, Inés, was prepared and welcoming. Throughout the journey he told us curiosities and information about the places we crossed ranging from current events to historical events. The day was not very tiring, indeed, really suitable for everyone.

Great tour and tour guide! - This tour was fabulous — the sites they showed us were interesting and beautiful, the tour guide, Peter, was knowledgeable and fluent in multiple languages, and the pace was just right. Sometimes group tours can be grueling, but this one had a laid back feel while still being engaging. We weren’t totally exhausted by the end, but instead felt excited and happy.

Classes 5M and 5C on a school trip - School trip with two classes of the last year of high school: the classic fifth grade trip! We made a group visit to Aracena, the Cave of Wonders and Rio Tinto: the visit was beautiful, very interesting and we saw wonderful environments. Thanks to our driver Pedro and our Italian guide, the very good Miguel!

Nice day in Donana Park - It was interesting to learn about the national park. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to give us a great experience. It is mating season for the lynx, so you can't get in certain areas that would disturb them. Sergio got us in to another area where we could see some of the lynx that are older and no loner breeding so we would not miss out. You do go to the beach and learn about the sand dunes, etc.

Amazing caves at Aracena and beautiful colours at Riotinto - Tour guide was kind and helpful, and we enjoyed the day . The caves at Aracena were amazing - a little frustrating that you are not allowed to take photos, but I understand the rules. What was annoying is that they were very strict about not taking photos (which doesn't cause any damage), but yet we saw several people touching the delicate cave formations which does cause damage, and no one stopped this.

Not what we expected - We are disappointed with the Rio Tinto. The rest of the visit was very good. Our guide Catherine was perfect. The explanations were rich and interesting. The caves are breathtaking. The mining tour is very superficial. Fortunately Catherine was there to enrich the visit Thanks to her Valérie and Didier The French
