Very good experience!!
We have gone to Ávila and Segovia with Mariana. She is very kind and explains very very well, she knows a lot about the history of those places. The visit is well planned because you spend the time exactly in both towns, not short, not long. The only thing i would change is the time for dinner. It is at 12:30 p.m, very soon, i think. It would be better doit all on hour after. However, i strongly recommend it!!!!

Beautiful places with a lot of history.
I would recommend it; I enjoyed the entire tour, but it would be great if they allowed a longer time for free time during the Segovia tour, as it was really limited for shopping and walking a bit more through the streets; everything else was to my liking.
