5.00Salamanca and Avila are two beautiful towns with very different histories. We enjoyed learning about both from our spectacular tour guide, Ines. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. Highlights included touring a historic university, cathedral, and the amazing walled city of Avila. I recommend this tour, especially with Ines as your guide!
Unhappy with Craft Tours

1.00Do not waste your time trying to go with Craft Tours to Salamanca and Avila. If they don’t have minimum of (4} people the tour will be canceled less than 24 hours before the trip. I read the reviews and texted the Tour Operator Craft whether this trip would happen and they assured me it would. After payment was charged and less than 24 hours before the trip I received an email telling me that the minimum had not been reached. I had three options, take a different tour, go a different day or pay for 2 more people. I emailed and told them those options were not good for us and wanted a refund. I was told 80% of tours happen and I would have to wait otherwise I would not get a refund. By this time the other tours with other operators were now full and I felt he held my money until the last moment. At 9 pm after I emailed tour operator did he send me an email that trip was canceled and I would receive a full refund.
Cancelled without notice and without reason

1.00I was notified that the tour was canceled at 8:30 the previous night. They said it could not be done because some places would be closed the following day and therefore not open to visitors. I actually went on my own with the bus the next day and it was all open and open to visit. Really unprofessional. I'm waiting for the refund.
Great surprise!!!
