Highly recommended activity - We took the tour from Cangas de Onis. Our guide was Marta and we really liked both the tour in general and her explanations and how attentive she was to all the participants. We did a walking route of about 2 hours and visited the Sanctuary.

Great activity for the whole family - It has been a great experience, both for me and my children (aged 8, 6 and 3). Both the visit to the lakes and the cave and the basilica of Covadonga have been very beautiful and interesting for all of us. The places are beautiful, the organization has been impeccable and the guide very friendly and competent. I definitely recommend this activity to parents traveling with young children.

A day well spent visiting Lakes of Covadonga - A visit Lake Covadongas is a must, and if you go, local ordinances require that you have to go by bus or private tour. Buendía tours took great care of us. The guide was friendly and informative. I hope the bus driver is well paid because the drive up to lakes is on windy narrow roads. I was glad to be on the bus, and not driving. You will have fantastic beautiful views along the way and you will get the history and importance of the place. It’s a day well spent!

But it could be longer the duration to the lakes - I really liked everything I've seen and the guide has explained everything very well, and the bus very well too, I wish he would show us more things about the park which is huge

Very pleasant. We recommend making it - All right. Very organized and very friendly the guide. The duration a little fair, they should extend it half an hour more to be able to visit it quieter

Good visit. Something fast. - Well organized route and the guide explained every historical detail. But all too fast. I missed more free time to visit the lakes and make the route more calm. Pretty crowded place.
