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!
Wonderful.

3.00To begin with, the guide was late. We were 6 people and the transport they took us in was small and uncomfortable. I touch myself in the last row and travel very badly, the vehicle was one of those who make an extra line in the back. In my group was a very tall person with knee problems so they sent forward, however he had to make his seat forward to fit better in the second row, so that I could get out or get in the car, they had to lift the seat and in one of those, the seat fell on the foot because of the little space there was. Because he arrived late and found traffic, we did not manage to make the tour as planned, meaning in a hurry. We enter the University of Salamanca, and we do not enter the Convent of Santa Teresa de Ávila, we only go to the store and where is the relic of the finger of the Santa. I really don't like it and I don't recommend this excursion. When it comes to a long journey, you would have to have the right transport for everyone's convenience. The only rescueable thing was the food, as the group was very nice, but the excursion was not good at all.
