Cuenca world heritage city
One of the places the guided tour goes through
From here start our guided tour. We can see a nice panoramic view of the city
Our guide will tell us the entire history of this beautiful place
The Cathedral’s viewing is complemented by the striking view from the clerestory. A tiny spiral staircase leads the visitor up to the cathedral’s ceiling. You will be impressed by the amazing views of the cathedral from there, a singular spectacle that allows you to appreciate each detail and corner of this house of worship. From the heights, you will be surprised by the Main Square scene, where one can appreciate not only the historical city centre but also the panoramic view of the new city and the Jucar River’s meanders.
One of the places the guided tour goes through
We will pass by the sculpture, in the middle of the road between the cathedral and the Hanging Houses
Guided visit to the Museum of Abstract Art
Saint Paul Bridge, designed by the Eiffel school, proposes a nice walk for the audacious and an adventure for the vertiginous, but everyone feels that they are located in one of the best sites in the city. The visitors have a similar feeling at the Castle District, where they can have an experience full of emotions looking towards the deep gorges from its viewpoints
The most well-known tourist attraction of the city are the Hanging Houses, an example of typical architecture in Cuenca, where the balconies invite you to simply observe the abyss. They have become the watchword and signal of the city. Other example of this local architecture are the Skyscrapers of San Martin, the first ten-floor buildings of the world Inside the emblematic Hanging Houses we will find one of the most significant artistic exhibitions from the middle 20th century: The Museum of Abstract Art. This museum showcases hundreds of pictures and sculptures from the abstract generation of the fifties and the sixties, which continues, in a certain way, the innovative ideas of Picasso, Miró and Gris. One can enjoy Art works made by Canogar, Chillida, Feito, Millares, Oteiza, Tapies, Torner and Zóbel.
Our visit ends a few meters from the convent, after crossing the Saint Paul Bridge

What a wonderful way to spend the day! Small group, nice people and very fun and knowledgeable tour guides Sergio and Cristian. Cuenca is beautiful, the art museum was fantastic, especially due to the guided tour. The cathedral is simply amazing! Definitely recommend this tour!
Excellent service, beautiful place, a knowledgeable guide and very friendly. I recommend them 100% Cuencas Cathedral is very beautiful.
What a great tour!!! Our guide, Sergi was amazing! Very informative and helpful! Transportation was comfortable! Beautiful city! A must see with this tour company!
In fact the booked tour did not happen, but the agency offered me a tour the next day with a 50% discount. I did not regret accepting it, as it was very good and more compelling. The guide Lara and the driver Gregorio da Cuenqueando were grade 1000. Lara has deep knowledge of the region and the history, always very cheerful, kind and attentive.
Great tour! Starting with Antonio who took us to Cuenca. We learned a lot and had an amazing tour with Christian . Great guide extremely knowledgeable and professional. We recommend this tour 100%
A pleasant day to a beautiful city with incredible views, a great lesson on the history of Cuenca and a magnificent Cathedral. Excellent day!
A 200% recommended visit. The views of nature and the city are phenomenal, I took many photos. It is worth spending the entire day to visit the Cathedral, the Monastery and the hanging houses. Our guide, Paty, demonstrated extensive knowledge of history, popular culture, art and architecture and knew how to convey everything with enthusiasm and simplicity. The agency was very friendly and kindly resolved a difference that occurred. I totally recommend them
Very complete and, above all, very funny. Despite being somewhat long (4 hours), our guide Felix turned the visit into a pleasant, fun, but not empty of content. On the contrary, it can be said to be very complete, in all aspects: historical, artistic, anecdotal, etc. A 10 for Felix.
En 4 horas da para mucho, pero es que la ciudad lo tiene y lo merece. Lo ideal sería hacer un tour de 8 horas, pero lo hemos "condensado" para ofrecer una selección con lo mejor. Muhcas gracias por disfrutar con nosotr@s y les esperamos pronto. Saludos!
Felix our super fun guide. In addition to the amazing visit around the city, he took us to the museum of abstract art and gave good brushstrokes of each artist, plus a very good visit in the Cathedral has been great
Pues solo han conocido la ciudad, pero es que el entorno no tiene nada que envidiar. Con nuestras excursiones por el río Cuervo y la Ciudad Encantada seguró que hubiera quedado aún más contento. Le esperamos para que lo compruebe!
Our guide Felix made it great, very pleasant and friendly. In addition we had a problem the day we had booked the visit and we did not arrive on time; without problem we were facilitated to do it the next day. I recommend it 100 percent.
Siempre que podemos, intentamos adaptarnos para que ustedes no tengan que preocuparse por nada más que disfrutar de nuestros servicios. En este caso, misión cumplida. Muchas gracias por elegirnos y les esperamos para la próxima ocasión que decidan volver. Saludos desde Cuenqueando.
