Very good experience.

Lola has been an excellent guide. She has shown us Alcala de Henares very well, which is a very beautiful place. At the El Peral winery, they treated us like royalty, the wines were delicious and the conversation was splendid.

Wine tourism experience with Lola

Very cool the tour! Lola gave us the tour, and we explored the town of Alcalá and a wine cellar. Lola was very pleasant, and it was an incredible experience!

More than an excursion, it was an unforgettable experience.

Thank you for everything; the tour of Alcalá de Henares was very interesting, the recounting of important moments and the history narrated by our guide Lola, who made us feel comfortable and welcomed at all times, including the visit to the winery where the wines were exquisite. I highly recommend that you take this excursion; it was a great experience.

Don’t book with them

It was cancelled with no notice from Viator or local company! I had gone to local office 2 days early and said I don’t have phone service and gave my email address instead. Again, no contact about cancellation.
