Medieval town's experience

Our day spent with our guide, Gaspar, was wonderful. We had great conversation and learned so much about the history of Spain and the Medieval towns that we visited. We had a delicious lunch based on his recommendations of local dishes.

Great tour!

Wonderful tour of several medieval cities. Our guide, Dulce, was extremely knowable and personable. She was so friendly and easy to talk with and gave us so much information on the history of the area. Great communication the day prior, pickup was right on time, and our van was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
