Highly recommended day trip from Madrid
XavierS23, Jan 2024
We took the Don Quixote tour last December from Madrid with Letango Tours. Best decision we ever made. The company came highly recommended in Rick Steve’s Spain Guidebook and its owner, Carlos, was in Rick’s Madrid episode. Carlos was very diligent in his comunixariin with is for The beginning in order to set up an unforgettable experience of visiting La Mancha from Madrid. Two days before our tour, Carlos put us in touch through WhatsApp with Rocio from his Madrid office and our excelente private guide/driver, Yanny. We were picked up on time at our hotel by Yanny and proceeded with visiting various pints of interest in the Castilla/La Mancha region of Spain. Our first stop was the Uclés Monastery. After that we went to La Huz Factory where Manchego Cheese is made. We had a whole tour of the factory with explanations on how the world famous manchego cheese is made. At the end of the tour we enjoyed a manchego cheese tasting paired wirh local wine. Our tour the. Proceeded with having local Castilian cuisine in a small village before finishing the day with a beautiful sun set at the windmills of La Mancha. These windmills inspired Don Miguel de Cervantes to write his famous novel, Don Quixote de La Mancha. Yanny was always attentive to details during the tour and made sure we were enjoying g our tour at all times. I recommend requesting Yanny as guide. When you travel to Spain, Letango Tours is the company we recommend for unique experiences during your travels. We will use their services again.
