    10/10 experience. The tour was incredible thanks to Pau, our guide, who explained everything with so much passion, knowledge, and a touch of humor that made the tour even more special. It's clear he loves what he does, and he kept us captivated from beginning to end. Special mention also goes to Mari Toñi, the bus driver, who was super friendly and approachable, making the journey comfortable at all times. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience.
