Lunch and hotel pickup are not covered on this 11h day. ## Overview Live Cuenca with an open heart. More than an excursion, it is a journey for the senses: history, wine, nature and excitement in one day. In an intimate group of up to 8 people, we will move away from conventional tourism to discover the soul of this gem between mountains. Cuenca reveals itself as a whisper of stone and air, with its medieval charm and dreamy landscapes. You will walk through streets that keep centuries of history, admire the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Julian and the Hanging Houses, suspended over the void. From St. Paul's Bridge, the views will steal your breath. We will taste the local essence in a traditional restaurant (each pays for its consumption). As evening falls, the wine will take us to a vineyard, where earth and passion merge. Between barrels and grape aromas, you will live an exclusive tasting and discover the secrets that give life to each bottle. An experience for those who seek to feel, not just look, and find themselves perhaps in the soul of Cuenca. ## Key facts - Price: from €149 per person - Duration: 11h - Rating: 4.71/5 from 41 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Crafted ## What's included - Face-to-face guide in Spanish, English and Portuguese - Wine tasting - Different local snacks will be given in conjunction with wine tasting - We will supply you with water so that you are always hydrated throughout the journey. - Cathedral entrance of basin - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Not included - Tip - Lunch - Pick-up from the hotel ## Itinerary 1. **We'll meet at O'Donnell's Gate with all the members of the group** (1h 45m) - From there we will start our journey to Cuenca 2. **Cuenca** (pass by, no stop) - Arrival in Cuenca - 10:45 3. **Historic Walled Town of Cuenca** (1h 15m) - Upon arriving in the magical UNESCO World Heritage city of Cuenca, we will begin our dive with a tour of its viewpoints.
