Top Cuenca Walking Tours

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.

The guide was very pleasant, everything was very well explained, you can tell he likes his job, he explained everything to us in a very complete way

Ángela took us through the tour with great involvement and a lot of sense of humor, always looking for a little corner of cool shade. She not only spoke about the strictly historical profile but also about the current situation of the region and a few curiosities. Always attentive to the questions even being a large group. It was great.

A good experience. Since we were the only ones who had booked for the cathedral, we started a bit earlier and had a private tour of it. A friendly guide who spoke very quickly, but it was okay. Headphones would be a plus.

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.

An essential visit to discover the many things in Cuenca that are not visible at first glance, such as the "skyscrapers" and other points of interest. The cathedral is sensational; one cannot miss this marvel, but it requires additional time after the guided tour. The guide, David, was very interested and committed to his city, phenomenal.

Excellent tour. I would recommend to all international travellers. Cuenca is such a histriocal city and worth visiting.

There were few visitors on the night tour, and the girl explained to us in an engaging way the essence of Cuenca.

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.

The excursion was ideal. Estefano picked us up at the agreed time and from the first moment was very attentive and showed us everything he knew about the area. The guided tours were very enjoyable, always capturing our attention with its pleasant, funny and natural character, telling us curious anecdotes and reaching everyone. It was the best decision we made on the trip. Thank you so much for everything 😊

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

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.
