We had a wonderful day with Juan. We arrived at Bilbao port and took Zone Transfers to Santander where we met Juan. We had such a beautiful day. Having spent a lot of time in Spain, I never saw the northern part of the country. I really wanted to see the Picos de Europa. We stopped to see Potes, continued on the Hotel Oso for a fabulous lunch, and then up to the Picos. Juan has a great vehicle to climb these beautiful mountains. We stop at the base of peaks for a coffee and then continued on our journey. I was so glad we did this tour! Then as we were off the coast of Spain under sail, we saw them again from a different view point, breath taking! Thanks Juan!

If you are considering booking a tour (this one or any other) with Northern Spain Private Tours, do not hesitate - book it now! Our tour of the Picos de Europa with Juan was one of the highlights of our visit to Spain. We have visited Spain numerous times previously but always the South. This was our first visit to the north of Spain and it was simply indescribable. We love all of Spain but the lush beauty of the north is something I think so many people pass by for the "typical" Spain of Madrid and Andalucia. Working with Juan was a pleasure from start to finish. He designed a full-day tour of some of the highlights of the Picos and even added a stop for us in Santillana del Mar at our request. Having grown up in the area and being a geologist by profession, Juan's knowledge of the region and its treasures is second to none. On top of this, Juan is an excellent driver, friendly companion, and an all-around great guy which is no small thing when you are planning to be together for hours on end. Our family enjoyed spending the day with him and getting to know parts of Spain we never would have seen on our own. Although the tour covered a lot, our time with Juan only made us want to return in the future to see more of the wonders of northern Spain. The value of the experience was worth the price. More people should take the time to explore places off the beaten path and I'm a huge proponent of supporting local businesses. This is a must for anyone planning a visit to northern Spain.
