a wonderful journey - The trip to Segovia and Toledo was simply incredible, an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, it was the best value for money one could find. Everything was perfectly organized and we could enjoy every moment to the fullest. I recommend this tour to all travelers who want to discover the beauty and history of Spain in the best possible way. I sincerely hope to meet our guide and driver again, it was a real pleasure to travel with them! I also hope that you enjoyed my Bulgarian gifts of prosperity, which carried all my affection and good wishes. Thank you so much! It was a wonderful experience.

Great opportunity - Both cities were amazing. It was great having a tour that went to both cities. Like many tours similar to this it would have been perfect to have 1 more hour in each place. Ignacio was a great tour guide.

Two towns in one day - Everything was planned to the finest detail. I just wish I had more time in Salamanca - maybe an option would be to have a trip with just Salamanca.

Very nice to meet Avila. - The tour pretty well, the Ignacio guide too. Although, I'm missing a little more anecdotes, stories. It was very factual. The trip is long and it is spent more than 6 or 7 hours on the bus.
