The trip was cancelled and I'm finding it very difficult to get a refund. The agent has asked Vuator to refund me. PayPal have asked for a response. 10 days later and no reply. I won't use VIATOUR again.

It was such a pleasure to take this tour with my daughter. Our tour guide picked us up--actually, at the restaurant that was just down the street from the hotel where he was supposed to pick us up. We were running late, and he was able to meet us at the restaurant so that we wouldn't have to walk all the way back to the hotel. We truly appreciated that! Our guide was friendly. Though I didn't speak a lot of Spanish, he spoke clearly so that I could understand most of what he was explaining. I had chosen an English tour, but for whatever reason, we had to take a Spanish tour. It wasn't really a problem for us. My daughter is fluent in Spanish and was able to fill-in the blanks for me, so to speak! If only the tour guide could have changed the weather for us (it was cold and rainy that day), it would have been absolutely perfect! Thanks so much!AMsays

Altamira Caves Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Altamira Caves have the distinct privilege of being the worlds first discovery of Upper Paleolithic Rock Art from the period 35,000 – 11,000 BC. Unfortunately, the actual caves cannot be visited because of conservation reasons and have been sealed off. The amazing work of the Spanish authorities is ongoing. I was told maybe one day we can see the caves, but for now we will have to do with replica caves and accompanying reproduced art. Despite that, my visit was special. After viewing a short film about this significant stage in human history, you are ushered into the cave with minimal lighting. Even reproduced, the art shows distinct figures and animals as well as a display of tools and implements. These high-quality duplications still evoke a sense of wonder and awe at some of humankind’s earliest examples of accomplished art.Evelyn_G

Enjoyed our guide, Mercedes’s explanation throughout the afternoon. We also had enough time to wonder on our own.
