Excellent city tour and shop selection - Diego had excellent knowledge of not just Cuenca but the entire region, he showed enthusiasm during the entire tour. The shops visited included demonstrations of products manufactured on site, giving a valuable insight into the workmanship involved. Highly recommended.

This walk is done independently and by collective bus. Handling our times and tastes. - Taking advantage of a great day of sunshine in full do not miss these two wonderful and impeccable villages between valleys and mountains.
For a dollar per person and when getting off the bus is worth the visit to the workshop of MACANAS or shawls or handmade fabrics (right in San Pedro de los Olivos).The guide of the place excellent and very friendly.
