5.00Very 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

5.00The 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

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.
Amazing Salamanca and Avila

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
