Top Cuenca Tours & Sightseeing

Eduardo provided a fountain of information on local history and natural resources. He was very upbeat and outgoing.

A wonderful visit, very enjoyable and instructive, led by Eduardo, a genius.

The place is beautiful, but most importantly, the guide who assisted us was super. We traveled with a 4-year-old girl and he made her interested so that it would be enjoyable for her. Overall a 10 out of 10

David a crack!! He has guided us around the city explaining in great detail and interesting data. Highly recommended to tour the essential corners of the city. 100% recommended

Exceptional, when you see that someone puts passion and desire into their work, it transmits those feelings to you. Thank you Pablo

The visit was wonderful. You shouldn't leave Cuenca without doing this visit. And with Stefano as a guide, it was great, friendly, approachable, and super educational.

Great and super interesting! The enchanted city lives up to its name, especially when you imagine it in the Spain of centuries ago; it's impossible not to think of goblins and spirits. And the source of the Cuervo River is truly beautiful, pure calm and as bucolic as can be, especially for two people from the coast of Cádiz. Estefano behaved wonderfully and we took advantage of the day, ready to rest a little so we could go out at night, totally recommended.

We'd booked a night time tour of the city which was only available in Spanish unfortunately. It was the first proper test of my Apple Airpods translate function so it could be interesting and they actually performed well, as long as I was stood close to the guide and looking at him. There were some inaccuracies and glitches but overall it I could get the context of everything Pedro said and I think for 1 on 1 conversations it would be excellent. The tour started with one of the Miradors overlooking the city and bridge and Pedro gave us an overview of the history of the city, from its Islamic foundations to the nineteenth century. The city was captured by the Christians in 1177 and then underwent various battles due to civil war and succession wars until the King ordered the destruction of the castle at the tip of the ridge. The city walls enclosing the city became a problem for the growing population so people started to dig their houses into the rock or expand them upwards or even build them over the roads, converting the streets into enclosed passageways. A lot of the houses have now been demolished or collapsed but the ones that are left are being preserved. We continued down through the streets that we'd walked up (it's a very narrow ridgeline so only 3 streets wide), past St Pedro's Church (the third incarnation on the same site) and eventually reached the site of the ruined bell tower that collapsed in 1910, apparently due to the demolition work on the old bridge. I couldn't work out the entire history of the cathedral but it was the first true Gothic cathedral in Spain then was remodelled as a baroque façade and then this in turn was replaced with the current neo gothic façade in the 1930s maybe but never finished due to lack of money. It is the only cathedral in Spain with abstract stained glass, other than Sagrida Familia which probably still isn't finished. The stars of the city are the hanging houses and we viewed them from a mirador but they were unlit and it was gone 10PM by then so it was difficult to see much. We finished the tour at the bridge of doom and saw the hanging house just above the bridge, which was actually illuminated. An interesting tour and entertaining guide.

Nothing to object, everything was very pleasant and very appropriate.

The Ciudad Encantada is an amazing place and I thoroughly recommend going there. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and, crucially, he spoke English ( he used both Spanish and English throughout the tour), unlike many of the other tours here that I looked at where the only language spoken was Spanish. It would be great to be able to come here for longer and do some proper hiking but I guess the only way to do that is with your own car.

Amazing tour. Guide was very knowledgeable, courteous, patient and considerate. Would recommend this breathtaking tour to all!

Well, well, well... what can I say... It had been a while since I enjoyed a guided tour so much. I went with my aunt Mercedes, and Pablo treated us so well that we both left delighted with the morning we spent. Unmatched attention and such an enjoyable visit that, despite the slower pace my aunt and I had, it flew by. We are very grateful for their attention and professionalism and for the amount of information and curiosities we learned during the tours. Without a doubt, if I had to recommend a guide, I would highly recommend him to everyone. A man with such genuine naturalness and kindness that it touches the soul and truly makes you appreciate what a close and kind treatment is. Thank you for everything, from the heart. 10/10

I decided to miss my train so I could make the excursion to Enchanted City and birth of the Raven River. Definitely a huge decision. Estefano managed to capture my attention, and that of the other visitors, with a very interesting and enjoyable speech, as well as brilliant rhetoric. I would repeat, delighted.

Very complete tour, Lucas was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned interesting insights about Cuenca. Very enjoyable!

Excellent guide. Paul doesn't just prove to be a space insider. He taught us a lot about geology and multiple legends of the enchanted city and the Devil's Window. An exceptional individual with an excellent humor and cordial.

We loved our extensive and informative with our informed, funny and handsome guide Serge. It was nearly impossible to find an English speaking tour in Cuenca so thank gif for Cool Destinations. The Devil’s Window stop was beautiful and the Enchanted City tour was fascinating especially because we had perfect weather. Caution for any motion sensitive person as the winding steep mountain road both to and from the Enchanted City is pretty intense. You end up right in the heart of ancient medieval Cuenca which is perfect to explore the village. A very worthwhile excursion.
