My Favorite Experience (MFE) - Where to begin… We had already spent the past week exploring Madrid and San Sebastián and we were tired. We booked this outing the night before as a “last minute” way to see what we could before we flew home. I was hesitant because I wanted a low-key final day in Madrid, but my spouse thought we needed to see what we could while we were here. God, she was so right. Our day started with a handshake and ended in a hug because Christian and Andres are the types of people who meet you where you are in life and then want to genuinely make sure you have an experience that defines your day (maybe even your trip). The cities were incredible, the gents were well informed, and the countryside is beautiful when you’re in transit. Not so much walking that you regret signing up, but enough to keep the blood flowing. The stops for drinks/snacks/lunch are perfectly placed. Highlight of our trip.

A TIME TRIP! - We made an amazing tour of Salamanca and Avila, unforgettable places! From the beginning, everything was very well organized. We went with a small group, in a comfortable vehicle which makes a lot of difference. The trip was very pleasant. Our guide was extremely friendly and knew every detail of the cities, bringing fascinating stories about the places we visited. Salamanca is an impressive city, given the grandness of its architecture and the vibrant atmosphere of being a university city. The lunch was a separate experience, with typical dishes of the region, in a welcoming atmosphere. In the afternoon we headed to Avila, where the imposing medieval walls impressed us. This tour was the perfect way to get to know two of Spain’s most historic destinations in a single day, with comfort and no rush. The attention of the guide was also another differential, because it provided us with this pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for us to make the tour. I highly recommend this tour, for its cultural and historical richness, in an authentic and memorable way!

Amazing experience - At first, I thought the car was going to be uncomfortable, but later I realized it was fine. First, we went to Salamanca. There, we visited the university and saw a wonderful mural (the Sky of Salamanca?). We also went to the Cathedral. Then, in Ávila, we climbed the walls and walked along them from above. Our guide, Christian, was always very attentive, offering water to everyone and answering all our questions. At the end of the day, he even invited us for a coffee! It was the best experience I’ve had in Spain so far.

Best Way to Explore Sites Beyond Madrid - What a great experience!! From pickup to touring to drop off, my mom and I had a wonderful time. We were the only booking for the day so had our own personal tour. Our hosts were very personable and really knowledgable about Salamanca and Avila. They made the whole trip very comfortable. Definitely a highlight for our time in Madrid.
