A Fantastic and Informative Day with Gabriela

An absolutely great day with our guide, Gabriela. Our full-day private tour of the caves, Cueva el Castillo, Cueva las Monedas and Altamira, with side excursions to Puente Viesgo and Santillana Del Mar, was fantastic. As a local, Gabriela has extensive knowledge of the area and the history of the caves. In fact, her knowledge of the caves equalled or even surpassed that of the official guides. Gabriela speaks both Spanish and English so she made history come alive for both my wife (who is Spanish and English speaking) and I (who am English speaking). It was a special privilege to have Gabriela narrate the history of the Altamira cave because when there, the other visitors were only doing self-guided tours. We’re hoping to return to Santander to do additional excursions with Gabriela. Notes: Book your trip very early because the admissions to Cuevas Castillo and Las Monedas are very limited. You have to be in good physical condition to make the trek to, and through, these two caves. The original Altamira cave is closed to tourists because of their negative impact on the cave and its paintings. This tour is of an exact recreation of the caves. There is easy access on foot or for those with disabilities.

My husband wanted to visit the caves for a long time. The experience on the day was more than he expected and a day we will remember always. Our guide Pepé was so knowledgable, kind and nothing was too much trouble- highly recommended tour. 5 star+

Jairo provided an amazing day of touring the caves! Our private tour of 3 people allowed us to absorb his knowledgeable as we walked in and around the caves. We appreciated that we were able to be picked up directly at the Santander airport to begin our day of exploring and dropped off at our hotel when our day ended. We look forward to bringing our friends back to this area for future tours with Jairo.
Awesome caves and old village.

Cave of El Castillo and Cueva Las Monedas were totally different from each other - and totally awesome. As the local guide related stories, history, and geology in Spanish, Hannah, quietly translated. Next we drove to Santillana del Mar and spent time in the beautiful old village before visiting the Museo de Altamira. I would highly recommend this tour and Hannah as your guide.
A wonderful day, very relaxing and informative.
