The different civilizations

The different architecture that was in the city and different civilizations that occupied the area over the years. The buildings are beautiful.

Tour cancelled a day before departure

The tour was cancelled by the operator one day ahead of the tour. They offered two portions: get a refund, or change to a different tour that goes to Toledo and Segovia. The Toledo and Segovia tour was good. I wonder how often this tour gets cancelled, since there is only one review here. Maybe not so many people get to go to the tour at all.
