Caminos by Casas Cantabricas Traveller Reviews

touring northern spain

Very helpful, well organised, good hotels and excellent at providing a bespoke itinerary.

Well planned out offering an excellent experience. Good food and lovely locations. Very wet and did dampen our enthusiasm.

All on internet and virtually paperless. We should have been informed of hotel parking charges at time of booking , also more info needed on motorway tolls, which were complicated in Portugal and we may get fined.

Excellent accommodation and itinerary, very clear information prior to booking and to guide us on our journeys.

Real attention to detail for all aspects of the trip

From the start the team at Casas were both friendly, efficient and knowledgable, with their excellent advice we had a father and son road trip that was perfect. Interesting, exciting, memorable and well planned with some unusual and delightful hotels we would never have discovered on our own.

Very friendly, great depth of knowledge about Spain, reasonably priced, helpful developing our tailor made tour route, brilliant app with all the details of our trip in electronic format.

Casas Cantabricas and, more specifically, the team of people with whom we worked (Andy, in particular) are, simply put, the most extraordinary vacation professionals we have ever met. From our initial contact many months in advance of our stay, to the ongoing communication leading up to and throughout it, we could not have been more pleased and impressed. We felt genuinely cared for, and we only wish we could use CC for all of our travels. I want to note, in particular, our gratitude for how well taken care of we were even during our stay. We have become accustomed with our villa stays through other operators to a very impersonal sort of treatment, and a sense of abandonment after picking up the keys. In contrast, Andy and the CC team were with us all the way. When we had a rather hilarious incident with a frog native to our rural location (which chirped at night like a car alarm), Andy was there to explain it all and talk us through it--he even dispatched a local villager to see things through! His graciousness, patience and consummate professionalism were unwavering, and it all added up to one of our most cherished vacation stays ever.

We had a fantastic 3 week trip organised by Casas Cantabricas. Four of us took a car on the ferry from Portsmaouth to Santander to star the tour. We visited Santillana, Puerto de Vega, Betanoz, Santiago, Soutillo,Leon, Burgos and Bilbao. Stunning views of the Picos de Europe, attractive seaside villages and beautiful Cathedrals, monasteries and castles.

Casas Cantabricas were wonderful. The advice, planning, organisation and information provided could not be faulted.The accommodation they booked for us was really outstanding with a variety of hotels, B&Bs farmhouses , monasteries etc. Great people to do business with.

First time in Andalusia and, as is our wont, we decided to do a self drive mini tour. The booking was straightforward, inspite of my stupidity in booking the wrong flight. The tour operator arranged everything and things went very smoothly. All in all, an excellent holiday.

Great holiday staying in several hotels in different parts of the region over a thirteen day period.Tour company organised routes for us to get from one hotel to the next and all relevant information. Organised a car hire and taxi transfer where necessary.

They provided excellent information before we left. They organised excellent quirky hotels in interesting places. They provided us with accurate routes so that we could find our way from one stop to the next over the thirteen day period. Their app was invaluable in keeping us up to date with information in the relevant area, weather forecasts, and advice about what we should see. They were very flexible about responding to our needs and we had a custom made package which suited our needs completely.

The holiday was tailored to our requirement by Casas Cantabricas and organised perfectly. This area of Northern Spain, Cantabria and Asturias, was unexpectedly beautiful and easy to drive around.Anyone we met was pleasant and welcoming, the food and wine very good and relatively inexpensive. Unfortunately once the word gets out that this, easy to get to, destination is so good it will start to lose some of it's charm, so we will getting back as possible.

Highly recommended, organised everything to perfection and was so helpful and responsive to any questions.

Three weeks touring Northern Spain from the French border, down to Rioja, then cross country west as far as Leon. Then back to the coast and the mountains working back east. A wonderful variety of experiences - from dramatic coastlines and beautiful beaches, through the mountains and gorges in the Picos and on to historic cities and grand cathedrals. On many occasions following the various Camino routes and at all times enjoying the excellent food and wine of northern Spain.

Having tried for a number of years to organise a holiday in Northern Spain, I was delighted to come across Casas Cantabricas. My problem has been a lack of knowledge of the best areas to explore and places to base ourselves to take full advantage of what this region has to offer. The Casas Cantabricas website is full of great ideas and when I phoned to discuss what would work best for us, the team were happy to produce a tailored route based on their experience. Great value and included detailed mapping, regional information and advice plus a handy app which proved extremely useful on our journey. Cannot recommend highly enough!
