Both destinations are amazing and deserve to go there. But the guide was really bad. Very poor English. She spoke 20 min in Spanish and 5 min in English. Did not make sense to ask her questions and even when asked no good answers. So moderate rating is only because the destinations were amazing and even not qualified guide could spoiled the impression
Excellent Salamanca and Avila tour.

We took the tour to see Salamanca and Ávila. Our guide Ignacio was amazing. Throughout the tour he enthusiastically explained the rich history of the country, cities and villages we visited. He gladly answered everyone’s questions and was full of knowledge. What an enjoyable experience we had. We definitely will look for Amigo tours again.

Very good experience. The cities are far away, but the weather is well spent and the tour is worth it. The guide Ignacio was very attentive. The only problem was the initial difficulty to find the meeting point in Madrid, but with the instructions passed by WhatsApp was possible to find without problems. Indicate the walk.
Totally worth the money

Little time to tour and lunch. It is advisable to make the excursion early in the morning, as there are many people afterwards.

The trip to Salamanca is pretty long, but definitely worth it. Our guide was super friendly and made the experience really enjoyable. Since the ride takes a while, you don’t get tons of time to explore, but it’s a nice way to get a good overview of the city.
Great experience

Nice, interesting and well organized trip. Both cities are amazing and worth to visit. I would wish to have more free time in Avila since walk along the city walls is not part of the tour and within the given free time you can hardly manage it.
