Two historical sites that played a role in changing the world are the stars of this half-day tour. You'll cross the border into Spain and visit the Cradle of Discovery Monastery and Muelle de las Carabelas, both in Palos de la Frontera, from where Columbus sailed to the Americas. At the monastery, you'll learn about his voyages and the Franciscan friars who helped him. And just a short stroll away, at the quay, you can see and board full-scale replicas of the three ships on his expedition – the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina. You'll see up-close the cramped conditions the seafarers endured for months on the high seas.

The only negative was the length of travel we did to get there and returning. The driver had to back up on himself both there and back to pick passengers up. Had we travelled straight there it would have taken half the time

Die Tour war super! Unsere Reiseführerin hat alles toll erklärt, und hat jede Frage sofort beantwortet. Wir hätten gerne noch mehr Zeit bei den Schiffen, und der Ausstellung verbracht. Möglicherweise lässt sich der Zeitplan ja anpassen. Meine Frau und ich waren erst verärgert ,weil eine Fahrt nach Huelva mit Weinprobe in der App angeboten wurde, aber vor Ort nicht mehr im Programm war! Aktuell sollte die App schon sein. Wir würden die Kolumbus - Tour weiter empfehlen. Wir waren begeistert.
