Additional Information

Salamanca is not just enchanting to the eye, it’s also steeped in rich history. Simply taking a stroll may cause you to overlook its intrinsic historical value that shapes the city’s identity. However, with this guided tour, you’ll witness the city spring to life, transforming it into more than just another place to visit. It’s home to an over 800-year old university, and I will share fascinating insights from life as a student in the 15th and 16th century. Also known for its numerous fables and folklore, it’s unlikely that you’d discover them without an informed guide. Join me as we explore this city together. Recently, I embarked on my own entrepreneurial journey. You can find testimonials from my earlier work as a tour guide online. Simply search for my name, Martoke, along with tripadvisor on Google to read some of the remarks about my previous tours.

The best part of our visit to Salamanca, have Martoke as our tour guide - Martoke was the best part of the tour. Very knowledgeable, very pleasant personality, very considerable with us that had walking limitations. At the end she is like walking with a closed friend. I recommend her wholeheartly. She left us with great experience in Salamanca and having known everything related with the history of this beautiful town.

Worth the trip - This city has quite a history. We were especially interested in the University neighborhood and the royal palaces. It’s helpful to have a local guide to point out and explain architectural elements, cultural activities and graffiti.

Great tour! - Ended up with a private tour as I was the only one signed up. My guide was great, very well versed in history and fun stories you would certainly miss on your own. She tailored the walk to my interests as well as pulling together history of Salamanca, Spain and critical intersections throughout time. Well worth it!

Great Welcome to Salamanca! - My fiancé Matt and I went to Spain in August 2021 and finally got around to leaving a review. Martoke was great! We kicked off our trip in Salamanca and Martoke made our trip have an awesome start. She was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, making sure to provide more info based on what we were interested in. The tour ended with us walking into the Plaza Mayor and, after not being able to travel internationally for what felt like an eternity, I admit I teared up a bit because it was so beautiful. The tour really made us fall in love with the city and we highly recommend it!

Don't use this!!!! - IS THIS A SCAM???? Booked 1 day ago, paid. Tour cancelled today and although it says I will be refunded in 3 to 5 days, and to process the cancellation, the website will not allow me to process my refund! I would suggest you book through the tourist office.
