El Capricho de Gaudí with incredible guide

margaret_t, Aug 2025
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.

Faulty communication from agent

Vesna_B, May 2025
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.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Vesna, we are sorry for the misunderstanding. In fact, as we commented about the tour change we mentioned we would visit three villages in the day and the Altamira Museum, plus optional visit to Gaudi building. We did not mentioned it was a full day tour as we gave it for granted and you never metioned you had a train trip in the afternoon. In any case, please notice the guide kindly drove you to the train station free of charge so that you would not miss your train. We apologise for the misunderstanding and hope you liked Comillas and Gaudi building that was the core of your initial tour.

Amazing tour and guide through breathtaking beauty

Pauline_B, May 2025
OMG the tour was breathtaking wonder. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun to learn from about the monastery and town.

An interesting afternoon

Jenny_H, Oct 2024
The visit to the Gaudi house was good and the stop in Comillas.. Overall we enjoyed it very much, but the start timings were changed at short notice, and we felt there was wasted time at the beginning, which was not explained, so the trip felt very rushed. More time at the Gaudi house and in Comillas would have been a good idea.

El Capriccio is magnificent.

Marina_L, Aug 2024
Very interesting and informative. The countryside is beautiful. The guide told us interesting stories and historical perspectives.

A wonderful day in Commilas and a visit at Gaudi’s sunflower nature inspired house!

Janet_W, May 2024
Everything! It was a wonderful day. Gabriela and Pepe are excellent guides and the group was great fun. Every stop was memorable!

Great Tour, Different Language Than Expected

KarenDiane_K, Oct 2023
Excellent tour and Mercedes is a great guide and safe driver. Just the right amount of time in each place, but I signed up for an English tour and this one was in Spanish. I understand some Spanish but unfortunately missed a lot of the information.

Nice place, tour disappointing.

Leanne_M, Jul 2022
The town of Comillas and the Capricho de Guadi were absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately our tour didn't last the full 5 hours and we were rushed at the Capricho. The driver sped excessively (140km) on wet slippery roads and was often looking at her phone while driving. I felt very unsafe. There were no stops for food or drink. Overall the beautiful town and buildings made it a nice day.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Leanne, we are deeply sorry to know you had a bad experience with our company. The person that drove you on that day is an external collaborator of our company. This is the first time we receive such a review about her driving and rush to finish the tour. We sincerely appreciate your comment as this will help us to avoid this situation from happening again.

Excellently complete

JoseCamilo_A, Jul 2025
