Great excursion - Very good iteneary and guide. Breathtaking views in the mountains and we were glad that we did not drive up to the lakes by ourselves as the road there seems challenging.

Very good, recommended - We were lucky with the weather! Besides that, or tour guide was very good at keeping track of time. We didn't have to wait too long for others in Gijon or Cangas. He also did the very good job sharing the same information in both English and Spanish. Totally worth it. You don't need to be an athlete but a minimum level of fitness is necessary to enjoy some of the views (being able to walk uphill for about 200 m).

Spanish language tour for an English speaking passenger - I was originally supposed to go on the English-language tour. A few days prior, they messaged me on Whatsapp to say that the English-speaking guide was unwell. I was offered a refund but decided to go on the Spanish-language tour regardless. I was given the essential information in English, like meet-up times, by the guide. So it was a great tour with lots to see, taking just over 11 hours total. I thought it was good value for money.

Beautiful scenery and... - Beautiful scenery and knowledgeable guide. But tour description should include disclosure of strenuous nature of activities. Lots of hiking, steps and elevation changes not mentioned. Several in our tour could not complete the cycle.

Good trip but realize it’s a looong day esp if weather is hot. - It was a good scenic trip but made for a long tiring day since bus not adequately cooled by air conditioner. They don’t start the buses early to cool it down b4 getting on board so take that and the weather into consideration. I also found passengers on the bus would move your property if you tried to save the same seat. One man kicked another man’s duffle bag further under the seat bc he wanted to sit in that particular seat. Been on many bus tours and I’ve never seen anyone do that let alone touch another persons belongings. Wear comfy shoes and appropriate clothes for light to moderate trail hike depending on which trail you choose at the lake. The lake is stunning.

Dodgy Operator - Booked in for an English tour and got a Spanish guide who was hopeless. Totally unhelpful & rude. Don’t go.
