Gustavo· September 1st, 2023I had a great time on this tour, but there are some treks more difficult than I expected. One guy in our group feel down and broke a rib. Maybe the treks should be graduate again. Apart that, everything else was wonderful. Good hotel , Torrecerredo, with great food and very nice people.Totally recommend.

Show moreTrip date: July 2023- CWCaroline· July 17th, 2022Hiking the Picos de Europa was a trip of a lifetime. I loved all the hikes, the guide, the hotel, staff, area, group, food … all of it. The really hot temperatures made it a challenging week but it was all handled well.Trip date: July 2022
- Wasim· July 2nd, 2019Excellent trip, guide was very polite, knowledgeable, excellent route selection. Food and transport was great. Everything was very timely.Trip date: June 2019
- Tricia· May 5th, 2019Wonderful countryside and guide. Great experience. Pace could have been a little faster. Also suggest that Tour Radar snd Exodus improve their coordination. Lots of complications up front due to poor info flow.Trip date: April 2019
- DWDavid· April 22nd, 2019Everything went really well. We hiked about 60+ miles and had elevation gain of roughly 5,000 feet in 5 days. While moderate rated, it was more than enough for me. Views were excellent and scenery couldn’t be beat with snow covered peaks. Guide was informative and cared for everyones different ability. He effectively changed hikes based on weather. Hotel was adequate and food was unexpectedly good with variety, great presentations and wonderful flavors. Trip participants were all really nice folks and the week went quick. Weather was even cooperative!Show moreTrip date: April 2019
- AA TourRadar Traveller· June 3rd, 2018The worst part of the tour was the weather which is something we can't control. The guides made the best of a less than ideal situation however. The hikes were moderate as rated, and we could often go at our own pace. The village of Los Cabrales is charming and the local cheeses are fabulous.Show more
Trip date: May 2018 - Maria· May 21st, 2018The Pico's de Europa tour was amazing due to our two fantastic guides and the hotel staff who all were great, welcoming and going out if their way to make sure your experience was outstanding. We were lucky to have Nacho and a new guide Hairo join us in our day hikes, both have a love for the outdoors and love for Asturias culture and history. I loved each day of the tour I was lucky to stay an extra day that the hotel owner Jim helped with my solo hike route. Highly recommended to allShow moreTrip date: April 2018
- AKaren Lawton· November 7th, 2013A fantastic week filled with great walking, beautiful views, great food and excellent company. The walking was strenuous enough to almost work off the wonderful food without being too full on. October seemed to be the perfect time of year for warm and sunny weather in this beautiful area of 'green Spain'What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?It's always pot luck as to who your fellow group members are, but it is always fantastic when you get on with everyone despite the mix of personalities and backgrounds. Â Great moments included the wonderful views as our daily climbs got a little higher, the siesta in the field on the way down from one walk wtih the cow bells tinkling in the background, the magnificence of the Carres Gorge, the cameraderie and chat over the post walk/pre dinner beer and the sampling of the local delicacy of percebes at the well recommended fish restaurant in Llanes.What did you think of your group leader?Alvarro was the perfect guide, his local knowledge of flora and fauna was excellent. He was enhtusiastic and keen and more than willing to answer the many questions our group had for him on the local area and the history of his country. Â His knowledge and insight into the history of his country would put most of us to shame. Â His English was excellent and he was extremely patient with those of the group who found one particular part of one walk a little tricky - he even picked one of the ladies up and carried her down - to the accompaniment of some rather loud screams. Â When Alvarro said 'you will love it' we invariably did!!!Do you have any advice for potential travellers?If you think you want to lose a couple of pounds on a walking holiday don't pick this one!! The food was excellent, from the breakfast through to the packed lunch and the wonderful evening meals. The countryside was beautiful and in early October we hardly met another soul (apart from Carres Gorge). Â Â Is there anything else you would like to add?The hotel for this holiday was great - although the rooms were a little basic, the bathroom/shower facilities were great and as I have said earlier the food was to die for. Â Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts Jim & Pilar who were also great company. Â Great views from the hotel itself . Â The itinerary was tweaked perfectly to account for the weather - all the warm sunshine when we were walking and the rain only arrived on our 'day off' when we all opted to do the coastal walk to Llanes and try the local seafood.A great trip which is highly recommendedÂShow moreTrip date: November 2013
