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.

The guide Khan was very interesting and agreed to let us tour the cities on a free visit as we wanted to discover some monuments independently of the group, in Salamanca: University of Salamanca, Casa de lilies, library / in Avila: walls, cathedrals, yema etc.

1.00Very bad experience, the weather was not good, and the follow-up given to my complaint and partial refund iris sun was very bad! An agency that does not care about customer service as they are “one-time” customers
Only if you don't have time, do it on your own much cheaper

1.00I consult the value and the page says in pesos 106.790,00 and when I want to make the payment I am charged 161.906,35 this is misleading advertising....very misleading.....At last I was able to make the tour we bought it in Madrid.....as every package you have to tie yourself to the time of the tour....ceasing to see a lot of things...our guide Angie...clerk of office just enough and necessary....Both Segovia and Toledo...my advice take a day in each place and sleep there....without hiring these tours that only want your tickets..
Lovely.

2.00They did not complete the visit to Salamanca or offer compensation and/or repayment for it. Besides, the guide was inattentive.
