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.

Satisfied - The organizers worked hard to make sure that everything goes smoothly. The bus was comfortable, the guides gave clear directions. Maria was leading the tour in Spanish and English. Every tourist was given a device with the headphones so they could hear the narration while walking. Be prepared for a bit of walking on uneven surface but the attractions were worth it

Great experience - German was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, but more importantly, he made sure that no one was left behind and that everyone was individually taken care of. The tour was very comprehensive and I was able to learn a lot. My only suggestion is that a little more time be left for taking pictures and getting souvenirs.

Just one mix up regarding lunch - The tour and our guide Sarah were great .
There was some confusion about our lunch that was included with the tour. We don’t feel it’s appropriate to combine those whose tickets provide for a “gastronomic meal “, versus a light snack.

History and Sites of Avila and Segovia Are A Must-See. - The sites, views and history are all top notch on this tour. I would recommend the tour for these reasons. The A/C on our bus didn't work well, and it was hot, humid and stuffy. Two of our three guides were great; one guide was a jerk. I would have given 5 stars otherwise, even with the broken A/C.

Nice your. Crowded for a Tuesday - Good tour well worth it. Just beware a Tuesday tour was a full double decker bus. The your guides were used and we split up into the groups.

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.

Avila and Segovia - Great sites and beautiful vistas!! Only issue was understanding the English of the guide.
Thought it strange that we were the only ones from the whole bus that had the gastronomic lunch?! Thought it was what everyone signed up for. It was an ok lunch.
