This was one of the best places to visit in Madrid. Our tour guide Sergi was SO knowledgeable and such a pleasure to spend the day with. The enchanted city is amazing. So many rocks formations. Conan the Barbarian was filmed there. If you want to take a day away from the cities do this tour.
Our day started with a beautiful views with the OUTSTANDING guidance of Sergi! He explained the history of the Enchanted City with passion and precision. I liked how we got to experience the whole place. Then we had an authentic lunch in Cuenca and got to get to see the charming city and the spectacular views. It was an all day adventure that we will never forget!
Great guides very knowledgeable and friendly. City and parks were beautiful with many things to see and learn about.
Wonderful experience.. we lucked out with the perfect weather! Our guide, Sergi, was passionate and informative detailing geologic history along with fun facts! Enchanted City was breathtaking! We then traveled to Cuenca where Sergi continued to educate and engage us as we walked through the historic city. We enjoyed the most delicious lunch prepared by a world class chef at such a reasonable price. Such a fun day! The bus ride was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Sergi as your guide!
Wonderful experience with our guide, Sergi! One of the best guides I’ve had on a trip. He was so knowledgeable about the Enchanted City and Cuenca. He has great story-telling skills and was able to engage everyone on the tour. He was also very personable during lunch, learning about where everyone is from and their plans in Spain. The best part is that the restaurant they chose was amazing! I am usually hesitant about restaurants on yours since they are usually touristy but he chose an amazing one. It was actually on my list before going on this tour. Highly recommend this tour with Sergi.
unknown Spain. A tour of history and nature. Excellent treatment with tour participants
Sergi is the best! This guy knows his stuff, told us all about the history of Cuenca - the tour was spaced really well - didn’t feel rushed , was nice to enjoy the different parts of the tour as well. Yes it’s a long day but I feel it was definitely worth it. Sergi does the best impressions with his stories about the town. Dude. LOVE THIS GUY!
One of the best tours ever with a very knowledgeable and personable guide. Sergi was amazing and would recommend this tour to everyone. Jose and Maria
