Great Tour
ChrisB828, 03-07-2022
We really enjoyed a great one day tour to Picos de Europa from Santander with Juan. Everything went very smoothly - and we were able to visit around almost ten different places during the day - far more than on standard tours.
Juan has great knowledge of this part of Spain and is able to plan an itinerary in advance and/or make recommendations and decisions as the day progresses, based on preferences, weather, etc.
His 4 wheel drive vehicle is perfect for travelling onto the gravel roads high up in the Picos hills/mountains, reaching places other tours don't go to.
Highly recommended.
Excellent trip for family

We just completed a unforgettable trip (2 days) with Juan to Picos de Europa. He has arranged schedule so reasonable with a combination of drive through beautiful villages and hiking to our needs. We visited old mine in the mountain, hiked to old yew forest and visited handful very beautiful and interesting villages. Juan has been super helpful during the trip, our whole family cannot be more happier and this trip is definitely worthwhile to take if you want to have a unique experience in Picos de Europe with teenagers.
Best Tour Picos has to Offer!!!

Our tour guide Juan was a true pleasure! He has so much knowledge of Northern Spain and an excellent driver!!!! Those mountains are no joke! Juan was punctual and made our entire day full of stops and memories to last a lifetime. Being with the locals and eating outside the “typical” tourist locations was a really treat. If I could I would have requested him for more touring days in Northern Spain.

En verdad fue un tour excepcional que nos vamos a recordar por muchas años. Gracias por tu guía Juan y toda la atención que nos distes. Hasta fotos bellas!
An Excursion into the Picos De Europa

My father and I were taken by Juan to the Picos de Europa and enjoyed a very well planned and executed itinerary. Beginning with a drive through a magnificent gorge, Juan's light temperament made for a very enjoyable sightseeing experience. Juan appears to enjoy the trip as much as we do, admiring various rock formations and trees along the way. Later we climb a mountain with his 4WD and hike to a forest of ancient trees. Afterwards, we enjoyed a formal lunch with local flavor. Without giving anything else away, my father and I both highly recommend Juan to anyone looking to experience these awesome mountains. He is a very nice and easygoing guide, whose geological backgrounds offers interesting insight into the mountains.
Wonderful

My husband and I had a great time with Juan. We were very limited on tours considering we were coming from Sandanter (and no tours were really running at the time of year that we were there.) He customized a full day trip for us. It was so nice not to have to drive our own car. The Picos are just beautiful, we would never of been able to see what we did without Juan driving us. I highly recommend his tour!
