4.00Nice, 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.

5.00What a packed day tour. We started at Salamanca and then visited Ávila. Both were amazing places. Wish we could stay longer but it is far drive. Due to long bus rides, it was very nice for them to consider bathroom breaks and coffee or snack breaks. Would recommend

5.00Nice trip. The driver was a safe driver and the tour guide, Hahn, was very informative and enthusiastically made the trip a very good educational experience. Salamanca and Avila are definitely worth going to and the Cathedral was so big in Salamanca and in Avila there was a mideval fair and people with period costumes. Overall, great trip
