Santander Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great trip to Santillana, Camilla and San Vicente. All beautiful and different. Guide gave us enough time to explore on our own too.

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.

Fun informative tour to picos de Europa and potes, Spain …………………………,……..,,,..,,,………..,…..,,,,,,,……..

Imanuel was a knowledgeable and engaging guide and careful driver. He provided information in both Spanish and English. I enjoyed the day and learned more about Cantabria..

Small group tour of the Picos de Europa from Fuente De with an option to ride the funicular. Pepe, our driver and guide is knowledgeable and a safe driver. Pick up and drop off at hotels was a benefit.

A very pleasant tour. Beautiful places, good information.

First, El Castillo has around 300 steps. There are decent breaks in between each set of stairs as the guides explain each painting, etc, but you'll also have to walk all the way back up. Las Monedas is easier, but my mom was winded by the end, so I think I was correct to advise her not to go in the first one.Catalina was amazing in explaining everything from geology to discovery to scientific understanding. I wish we had more time at the interpretation center, I could spend a while there, but I know everyone isn't as much into reading signposts, and the official cave tours are done by museum employees & on strict timetables. As we left the next group was ready to start.Because of late cancelations, we had 4 instead of 7 for the tour, so in a way we got slightly more time I think.Get this off your bucket list as much as possible. Catalina explained that just three years ago they allowed 3 groups of 13 people each per hour, but global warming is leading to fast deterioration in the caves. Soon these could go the way of Altamira which I'm happy to have skipped due to lack of time, where the caves are totally shut down.I feel so privileged to have been able to see the oldest cave art in Europe, by just about the first homo sapiens to reach Europe. And I could be one of the last few in general public to see them.I see museum staff will use English but you'll miss most of the contexts unless you understand Spanish well. If not, get a guide who can do the whole tour in your language. You're making this journey. Might as well get to know all of it.

The cave tours were exceptional; an experience to be sought out if possible. Our driver was fine, the cave guide amazing.

This is a must for anyone who loves prehistoric art. Limited to 7 people only for Monedes and Castillo caves, you get close up introduction to arts dating back over 40,000 years ago. You end being wow'ed at Altimira. You really appreciate this UNESCO sites. Our guide Pepe was wonderful in showing the highlights at Altimira.

We did the tour with Lucia. Friendly, detail-oriented, very professional. She made the tour very enjoyable for us. It was a great decision to do the tour.

This is a trip which became a pilgrimage thanks to Raphael’s knowledge and respectful explanation of the events in Garabandal 1961 and following years. Needs to be experienced highly recommended. The village is a beautiful and very peaceful

Great, considering how hard it is for me to hear, it has been very interesting. Héctor is a great communicator and professional.

The visit to the Magdalena with the guide Mrs. Clara was brilliant ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ in her explanations!!!!

Our tour guide was Jairo. He was extremely knowledgeable about all things locally in addition to the caves. He handeled everthing expertly. Yes, the personal tour was expensive, but in my book it was absolutely worth it! I give him/them my highest recommendation!!!

It has been a beautiful excursion to Cabárceno. The guide, Rafael, is very kind and attentive to the needs of everyone, including the elderly. Additionally, he is a great guide who makes the visit very enjoyable.
