Excellent tour guide Jairo spoke brilliant English and gave a great insight into the area & tour. We were a small friendly group of 8 in a comfortable people carrier. We first visited a remote beautiful monastery. Next stop was Potes, a beautiful old village with quaint cafes plus a river to dip your feet in & cobbled streets to wander around for a couple of hours. Picos de Europa are amazing mountains. Breath taking views with the cleanest of air. This is a must see whilst in Santander. A full day trip. Go up the cable car and see the beautiful views & walk around to take it all in but make sure you leave plenty of time to get back on the cable car down the mountain as we had to wait 30 minutes & we felt so bad for keeping everyone waiting !!! We had no idea we would be waiting so long & initially we thought the queue was for the bathroom!!

Badly badly managed imitation of Wildlife. Absolutely ridiculous funicular routes- you spent twice of 3 times at least 20-40 min in the queue when change from Blue line to Pink one- be careful its mostly stupido managerial non-explainable trick in this place. Not seen animals- just hidden on distance. Not clean toilets- lines in poor kiosks. Absolutely useless Map - even not scheme- can’t read it properly. Overpriced - more €70 for two!!😳 never more

My daughter and I loved this tour. Our guide, Jairo, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in cave art!

Rafael picked us up exactly on time and reviewed the places we were going to visit in Comillas. He reviewed the history of the towns we passed by as well as their industries past and present. We love these kind of tours because that is what makes it richer. Comillas is a town not to be missed if in Cantabrias.

Great trip lead by Pepe with Carlos as our chauffeur. I learnt a lot from them about this part of Spain and the places that we went to were beautiful. I’d highly recommend!!

Guided by an expert on Picos de Europa. The guide explained with detail all aspects of the touring region. The fact that we were a small group made a difference.

We went on a organised coach trip from the P&O cruise ship Britannia.it was a wet and rainy day but this did not spoil a wonderful day out . All the animals were in very large areas would not call them enclosures as they are so large. They all looked healthy and a great range of types. The cable car was really great even though it was raining the views are amazing as they go over the animals. Well worth the cost.

Whilst on a family holiday to the fabulous Santander we used Exploring Cantabria to visit the Altamira Caves and the Village of Santillana. We booked online and the process was simple with plenty of updates, even a calendar invite. The guide arranged to pick us up via Whatsapp (in English which helped) and was there as agreed. Mini bus was clean and comfortable and all information was in English and Spanish. The guide knew his stuff and was very helpful. Definitely use again if in Santander..

Our bi-lingual guide (Gabriella) did an excellent job. She made accommodation for a true international group - including Polish, Argentinian, German and American. A full day with gorgeous sites!

Such an experience to be in the presence of expressive markings from 40,000 years ago! Lots to ponder. Caves are a marvel in and I of themselves, too!

Last September, I had the pleasure of visiting Gaudí's Capricho in Comillas, a jewel of modernist architecture nestled in the heart of Cantabria, Spain. This early work of Antoni Gaudí, designed in his unmistakable style, stands out not only for its visual spectacle but also for the immersive experience it offers. The Capricho, or 'fancy' in English, lives up to its name with its whimsical design and intricate details. The building's façade, adorned with vibrant tiles and unique motifs inspired by nature, captures the essence of Gaudí's creative genius. The sunflower patterns that dominate the exterior are not only visually appealing but also symbolize the sun's movement as they face the sun throughout the day.

Communication before the trip was easy & the organiser responded quickly. They were helpful with any questions. They picked me up at my hotel on time & I had a great day. First we went to the monastery which also had a beautiful lookout with views down both sides of the valley. The Picos were snowy, freezing & beautiful! Poets was lovely - beautiful medieval town with stunning unspoilt architecture & lots of places to enjoy the views. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, professional & super helpful. Had a fantastic day & would highly recommend!

A very interesting and informative personal half day tour by Gabriela. The restoration of the old seminary is very impressive.

Fantastic tour. The views from the top of the snow topped mountains we're amazing, the lunch and walk in Potes was lovely and our guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable.

Beautiful little town, lots of restaurants and nice little shops around a small square. Beautiful rocky coast and beach ( can get busy). Lovely fishing harbour with excellent fish restaurants. Close to Picos Mountains Lots to see and do around and about.
