Day trip to Salamanca and Avila

5.00While it was a long bus ride we got to visit 2 world heritage sites outside of the city while staying in Madrid. Our guide Khan provided bilingual information as our tour group was made of English and Spanish speakers. He did a great job describing the history of Salamanca University and later the ciry of Avila. We had a 20 minute break during the long drive and plenty of time for lunch and self exploration.
Amazing

5.00Visiting Salamanca and Avila was formidable, they are cities with a great history and beauty in their constructions. Delicious food and very friendly people. The explanations of our guide Costas have been unmatched, you can see that he has spent a lot of time studying the history of these cities. The best thing about the tour was the explanations and kindness of Costas and our driver Nuria.

3.00Segovia was AMAZING!! The only thing I can say about this tour is do NOT add in the lunch. We didn't have time to eat the dessert. They were VERY slow and we didn't get a chance to see or shop at all. Get lunch on your own.

1.00I booked on Civitatis, not even them (never had heard of Amigos Tour) a day trip to Salamanca and Avila for my mum and aunts and a week before, AMIGOS sends me a Whatsapp cancelling the whole thing (all paid). No explanations. Civitatis knew nothing about it, and by reading the reviews on Amigos Tours on Google, Trustpilot and others I see now they do this often. You think you’re safe because Civitatis are well known, but they couldn’t care less. You know what explanation Civitatis/Amigos gave me? An issue with the bus! As if they couldn’t fix a bus in one week or get, maybe, another bus being this their entire JOB? Bus tours? Nunca más. Cancelan el tour a último minuto y ni se dignan a dar la cara y decir la verdad. Obviamente sobre vendieron los cupos del tour y cancelaron el viaje de mi madre y sus hermanas. Vergüenza de “agencia”. Busquen agencias serias y de confianza. No confíen en Amigo Tours ni en Civitatis.

4.00Good tour with Khan and Eva. It would have been better if there was a little more story about the places to visit.
Loved it.

4.00The places too beautiful, except for the bad weather that touched me but I enjoyed it the same. The only thing that is true that does not give you time to have lunch or eat something because your time is running out looking at the cathedral or wall and you run to buy some souvenir too. The guide who played me very good, patient and fun. He also gave us good recommendations
Great with some remarks.

5.00The overall tour was super nice, our driver and guide were charismatic and welcoming! The cities are beautiful and I definitely recommend seeing the cathedral! Some remarks which might not impact everyone but I wanted to share cause it was a surprise/impacted my tour: 1. The journey is a bit tiring, due to the distance of the cities, so definitely prepare yourself for a long time on the bus, around 5 and a half hours 2. Something to note which I personally didn't realize before the tour started is that it is a bilingual tour which means everything is repeated twice, it does get a bit tiring by the end of the day. Especially if you can understand both languages 3. If you are a taller/bigger person you might find the seats a bit uncomfortable. I'm 5'8/172cm and my knees were a cm away from the seat in front, also I definitely had to squeeze my mom a bit during the tour to fit more comfortably in the seat.
