El Capricho de Gaudí with incredible guide - Our guide was amazing and he definitely made the trip for us! He had loads of knowledge and struck a really good balance with showing us around and giving us time to explore. He was brilliant at his job. The gaudí house was lively and we got to see the town too which was really quaint.

Very worthwhile and enjoyable. - We were picked up promptly at our hotel and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable from the start. We learned so much on the journey there and were well prepared for our experiences in the seminary, Comillas and for the Gaudi designed summer residence. The small group make it personal and we could ask all the questions we wished and create some beautiful memories. Thank you to our guide who did such a wonderful job.

Faulty communication from agent - Watch out for changes. I was offered an improved tour for another day, but no one mentioned it was longer than the original. I had to leave the tour to catch a train, and missed a portion of the experience.

Town with history on the Cantabrian coast - Nice coastal town in Cantabria. Well known for Gaudí’s whim, but with many more charming and historical places to enjoy.
