Excellent afternoon trip. Stunning views. Absolutely beautiful landscapes. John was a very knowledgeable guide. The chestnut cake & liqueur was a real treat. Enjoyed seeing all the fruit growing. Lovely chilled half hour with Winston Churchill too. Highly recommended.

An excellently organised half day tour to the Valley of the Nuns. Book online and they will contact you and arrange a pick-up from near your hotel; ours was from the bus station/taxi rank next to the cable car terminus. The minibus arrived dead on time, and we were taken to the viewpoint overlook...
