5.00I traveled with a group led by Andres to Salamanca and Avila, Spain. First of all Andres was AMAZING! Andres is super upbeat and positive with outstanding English speaking skills and knowledge of fun facts in history to keep everyone's attention along the way. He thinks of small details like having bottled water available and allowing everyone to taste test different foods in each city...Despite rain that day we kept up a good pace and saw what we had expected to see! I was very hesitant about taking a guided tour, but I was so impressed that I can't wait to do something like this again. I highly recommend it to anyone when you're coming to Madrid!
Amazing and Magical!! Don’t Miss out!

5.00Ines is an amazing tour guide and we thought that the experience was absolutely worth it. She gave us an in-depth explanation of the cathedrals, the universities and the architectural as well. Love the lunch place she took us to, the food was great and we had such a wonderful time. One good thing is that the day tour group is relatively small and that allowed fun conversations and engagement with everyone within the group. She even brought us to check out the astronaut in cathedral facade and explained to us about the beauty of the facade. During our trip to Ávila, there was a lost old lady and Ines didn’t hesitate to offer helps and even went back to check on her. The kind gesture really left a beautiful mark in our hearts and really glad to have Ines to be our guide. Definitely would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Salamanca and Ávila!

5.00Inés was great! The tour was so worth the price! The tour was originally scheduled for Avila and Salamanca however was changed last minute due to not having the minimum participants required . The tour operator was communicative and made sure to let us know what other trip options were available instead. We picked Cuenca and vineyard. The town of Cuenca is beautiful and has a fascinating history. We stopped to have lunch in the town and the pesto pasta was so delicious. The restaurant was a local place and not touristy making it a more unique authentic experience. The vineyard trip afterwards was amazing too. Enrique the wine maker is a man of many talents (artist also). We got to sample is homemade natural wines and got to eat some delicious tapas. Enrique was very generous with the wine! Thank Inés for putting it all together in short notice and still making it an amazing experience! Best tour ever!
Great Full Day

5.00Our Guide Ines was wonderful. The ride to get there was a bit long but she was an educator who was pleasant, friendly and easy to understand. Salamanca was amazing and still an active university and the flying buttresses construction. Avila intact Fortress was out of a movie. Very happy with the whole day
Beautiful castles,...
