Una experiencia maravillosa. El guía es espectacular, muestra unos conocimientos sobre la excursión que superan cualquier espectativa. Todo ello con ub trato exquisito. Solo por poner un inconveniente al organizador, vetarìa la visita a papas con bebes ya que entre llantos y gritos hacen robar atencion al guía causando excesivas molestias al resto de asibtentes.

A wonderful experience. The guide is spectacular, demonstrating a level of knowledge about the excursion that exceeds all expectations. All this with impeccable service. My only complaint to the organizer would be that parents with babies should not be allowed on the tour, as the crying and shouting distract the guide and cause excessive disturbance to the other participants.

El guía aportaba datos interesantes e incluso divertidos durante el trayecto, pero cuando salía del bus iba muy rápido y a veces costaba seguir el ritmo. Incluso se perdieron dos turistas por llegar dos minutos tarde y tocó dar la vuelta. Considero importante que se especifique en la descripción de la excursión la dureza de la ruta hasta los lagos. Por último, se debería contar con más tiempo en el santuario de la virgen de Covadonga. Apenas da tiempo para visitar el santuario, la basílica etc Translate this opinion into English.

The guide provided interesting and even entertaining information during the journey, but once off the bus, he moved very quickly, and it was sometimes difficult to keep up. Two tourists even got lost because they arrived two minutes late and had to turn back. I think it's important that the difficulty of the route to the lakes be specified in the tour description. Finally, more time should be allocated at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Covadonga. There's barely enough time to visit the sanctuary, the basilica, etc. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bien, pero el guía apenas nos contaba nada en los sitios turísticos. En el bus si, pero en el destino era todo tiempo libre. Mal en ese sentido, no hemos aprendido apenas nada. El conductor ñ, Valentín genial.

It was good, but the guide barely told us anything at the tourist sites. He did on the bus, but at the destination it was all free time. Bad in that sense, we hardly learned anything. The driver, Valentín, was great.

La recogida en Cangas ha sido caótica, con poco tiempo para un café. Poco tiempo y cansancio.

The pickup in Cangas was chaotic, with little time for a coffee. Little time and exhaustion.

El viaje desde Santander es algo largo pero no se hace pesado. La subida a los lagos de Covadonga. es espectacular, al igual que la bajada y la visita a la Basílica de Covadonga. La parada en Cangas de Onís para comer fue suficiente, da tiempo para ver un poco la ciudad. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip from Santander is somewhat long but it is not heavy. The ascent to the Covadonga lakes. It is spectacular, as is the descent and the visit to the Basilica of Covadonga. The stop in Cangas de Onís to eat was enough, it gives time to see a little of the city. Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión fue genial. Santiago, nuestro guía, nos explicó varias curiosidades, también en inglés, y el conductor fue muy simpático. Paramos para desayunar y comprar recuerdos. En los lagos el día fue espectacular. Santiago subió con nosotros; hay transporte opcional por 2 €. El trayecto andando es llevadero y el paisaje impresionante. Recomendable comprar el pack de quesos arriba. Visitamos la cueva y la catedral de Covadonga, y comimos en un lugar excelente que nos recomendó. Para repetir! Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was great. Santiago, our guide, explained several interesting facts to us, also in English, and the driver was very friendly. We stopped for breakfast and to buy souvenirs. The day at the lakes was spectacular. Santiago hiked with us; there's optional transportation for €2. The walk is easy, and the scenery is breathtaking. Buying the cheese pack at the top is highly recommended. We visited the Covadonga cave and cathedral, and ate at an excellent place he recommended. We'll definitely come back! Opinion translated.

Nice experience. The lakes are amazing and our guide Santiago was so nice. We appreciated we had some free time around the lakes. There is no need of trekking shoes unless you want to explore some trails, because the trail done with the guide was comfortable with sneakers. We had half an hour at the beginning of the day to buy souvenirs in a very nice shop. The fact that we hiked right after lunch was a bit uncomfortable, but we know it's because the timetable to access the park is very strict.

Es una excursión preciosa. Santiago explica muchas cosas interesantes, tanto en el autobús como en las paradas. Vicente, el conductor, también fue muy profesional, el camino a los lagos de Covadonga es estrecho y había algunas vacas en mitad, leímos algunos comentarios que decían que el camino daba miedo y nosotras en ningún momento sentimos miedo, las vistas son preciosas. Translate this opinion into English.

It's a beautiful excursion. Santiago explains many interesting things, both on the bus and at the stops. Vicente, the driver, was also very professional. The road to the Covadonga Lakes is narrow and there were some cows in the way. We read some comments saying the road was scary, but we didn't feel scared at all; the views are beautiful.

Creo que los tiempos en cada parada no están compensados;sólo tuvimos una hora para visitar la parte del santuario,la Santina,etc y tuvimos que ir literalmente corriendo.Después tres horas en Cangas que es bonito pero pequeño y se puede visitar en mucho menos tiempo.La visita a los lagos también a la carrera, te da tiempo llegar,comerte el bocata y poco más.En nuestro caso fue un poco frustrante porque había muchísima niebla y apenas pudimos verlos.Gema,nuestra guía,muy maja y profesional.

I think the time at each stop isn't balanced; we only had an hour to visit the sanctuary, the Santina, etc., and we literally had to run. Then, three hours in Cangas, which is beautiful but small and can be visited in much less time. The visit to the lakes was also a rush; you have time to get there, eat your sandwich, and little else. In our case, it was a bit frustrating because there was so much fog, and we could barely see them. Gema, our guide, was very nice and professional.

La excursión nos ha encantado. Lástima que en los lagos había mucha niebla, pero igualmente ha merecido la pena. Y el Santuario precioso. La comida en Cangas de Onís opulenta. La guía, Gema, es muy simpática, y con el conductor, Valentín, han hecho un equipo genial Translate this opinion into English.

We loved the excursion. It's a shame that the lakes were very foggy, but it was worth it anyway. And the Sanctuary was beautiful. The food in Cangas de Onís was opulent. The guide, Gema, is very friendly, and with the driver, Valentín, they made a great team. Opinion translated. Show original.
