• 5Good outing to Comillas to see El Capricho de Gaudi

  Great experience. We were looking for a short trip from Santander. Gabriela, our guide/driver came to pick us up at our hotel right on time. She was very knowledgeable with a very good English. I’d recommend the trip.

• 5Worth a visit

  A fascinating example of Gaudi’s architecture. We spent a happy couple of hours there. There’s no parking - you have to use the nearby public car park.

• 5Wonderful private tour offer of Cantabria Highlights

  My wife and I recently had only a day in Santander and found this great travel agency!! Although they had terrific excursions of the region along the coast our bad luck ( only initially) was we'd be there on a Thursday when regularly scheduled tours weren't scheduled. HOWEVER, I noted on the webpage that it was possible to inquire about private tour option Well Gabriela responded immediately and made a wonderful full day private tour option combining their classic trips to surrounding areas of Colmillo and Santillana, a visit to the Altamira cave museum, etc It was WONDERFUL. Our guide Jairo was so so terrific! So knowledge about the history of places and buildings he took us too. Just such a pleasant, patient and PRO- fessional person. Let's face it.... when you spend over 8 hours together he's got the perfect customer service skills.... I hope we didn't stress him too much 😂 HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY!!!

• 5El Capricho de Gaudí with incredible guide

  Our guide was amazing and he definitely made the trip for us! He had loads of knowledge and struck a really good balance with showing us around and giving us time to explore. He was brilliant at his job. The gaudí house was lively and we got to see the town too which was really quaint.

About Santander

Santander is a seaside city on Spain's northern coast, with belle-époque beaches, a royal summer palace on a headland and a cool, green Cantabrian climate.

Santander, the capital of Cantabria, sits on a wide bay on Spain's northern coast, facing the Bay of Biscay. A fire in 1941 burned much of the old centre, which was rebuilt around the cathedral and the seafront gardens of the Paseo de Pereda. The Centro Botín, an arts centre by the architect Renzo Piano, juts over the harbour on pillars, and the Mercado de la Esperanza is the old covered market.
