Traveler reviews
Excellent, punctual, and knowledgeable about history.
It was very good with Luismi, David, and Carlos, who are excellent guides.
Good experience
Very good. Carlos is an excellent guide, and along with Beatriz and Adrián, they make a great team. They need to improve the timing as everything was very rushed, including the time allocated for lunch. 40 minutes is insufficient and instead of allowing us to savor the Suckling pig, it becomes indigestible to eat it in a hurry
Definitely Recommend!
Excellent tour of Ávila and Segovia. Beautiful tour out of Madrid. Our guide Rafael (Rafe), was excellent, fun and very knowledgeable about both cities. The lunch of steak, soup and wine was very delicious. The tour was on time throughout the day. There was quite alot of walking on uneven small cobblestone sidewalks that made mobility difficult for some. Personally, I would have liked to stop a little more often along the walking tour for photo opportunities.
Nice tour, not great value to
The viaduct at the start of the tour is impressive, but the guide dispersed the visitors to fend for themselves to find coffee and restroom facilities. Communication on start time was not well done, and we had to catch up with our group, missing the narrative. The radio communication was limited by distance, often times it was too great to hear the guide. Lunch was overrated, not living up to ‘gastrointestinal ‘ delight. Would not recommend this trip to friends.
Great tour!
Great tour with knowledgeable guide, the cities are beautiful and full of history. Appreciated how organized the tour was, with scheduled times for eating, touring, etc
