Whirlwind visits

Visiting 3 cities in one day is a trial but the guide did an excellent job.

Excellent cities

Today we took the tour to Toledo, Ávila, and Segovia as a family, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The organization was very good, the time spent in each city was appropriate, and the guide Fátima made the tour very interesting with clear, entertaining explanations full of history.

Great way to get a taste of the 3 towns

This tour is such a great option for people with limited time in Madrid. The tour is well organized, the meeting point is easy to find and the experience is stress-free. Be prepared for a lot of walking and driving between the towns. Although the group is small the bus felt a bit cramped. A couple of suggestions to make this tour even better would be to provide listening devices so that you don't miss all the great information that the guide is sharing. We were a small group but sometimes, with the street noise, it was difficult to hear Fatima, our guide. Another suggestion would is to incorporate some photo stops along the way. For example, the outskirts of Toledo, its wall and bridge are perfect for photos, but our tour concentrated on walking only inside the walls so we only got to see the outside while inside of the van. The last suggestion is to perhaps to have lunch at either Toledo or Segovia instead of Avila. The lunch at the restaurant was great but pricey and really the only option there that was easily accessible. As an example, we spent over $100 on lunch for 4 that only included 1 onion soup, a large salad to share, one entree to share and 4 drinks. Overall, however, the experience was worth it.

Our guide Adrian was...

Our guide Adrian was knowledgeable, kept up the pace of the walking tour so we could see multiple places, and was humerus.
