The electronic self-guided option is a Timo

Jose_P, Sept 2025

Don’t choose the self-guided option, and less so if there’s more than one, as its supposed “logistics” is to send you a link to download and print a PDF with Wikipedia information and links to Google Maps as an “electronic” guide that you must print and that they send you less than 24h before the start of the activity (there is no time to find where to print) so that you can not cancel. In addition, they say that they include entrance fees to the sites indicated there, but these are free entrance fees or outdoor monuments. Definitely not worth paying for.
