  • 5Great guide and incredible experience

    The tour was fantastic, Maria was very knowledgeable and helpful guide. We don’t speak Spanish but Maria explained everything in English. The Soplao Cave was incredible, superb experience but for Spanish speakers.

  • 5Great tour to see a stunning view and the caves

    Have seen a recent review which noted a bad experience, I’m glad to say our experience was entirely different and found it all very positive and a good way to see the caves . Good trip and lovely guide Gabriella who had a wealth of knowledge. We had a minibus to the caves and they added in a quick viewing stop on the way which was great( added a picture below). No pictures in the cave as this is not allowed . Lovely group and smooth transition. The tour guides speak amazing English, which we are grateful for as we cannot speak Spanish. But be mindful that the guides do not come into the caves as it says the tour in the cave is in Spanish. This is stated in the information so we should have brushed up on some Spanish before . However despite this, the guide made every effort to give us all the information beforehand and were able to enjoy the caves. We did multiple trips with this company and have had a great experience each time , so mucho grasias again!

    The customer service was appalling, rude and unhelpful. The whole thing is a rip-off, save your money and don't bother going.

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.
