1.00I booked this trip back in February for 8 th June and Amigo Tours Cancelled it ( for unseen circumstances) they offered me an alternative date for 6 th June which I accepted and they have just cancelled that date ( for unforeseen circumstances) we are now unable to visit Salamanca as we return home on the 10th and they are saying the next availability is the 12 th. Amigo Tours are a very incompetent company who offer very bad customer service. Ie They don’t give a damn.
Very good.

5.00Kostas was excellent; the tour was in Spanish and English, and he was able to switch languages effortlessly with perfect pronunciation. Salamanca is beautiful to visit; Avila is nice but is more of a stopover given the distance between Salamanca and Madrid. Kostas still recommended all the nicest activities to do and was very helpful.
Beautiful experience!

4.00Avila is pretty, and we got to walk up the wall to have good views of the surrounding. The visitor center has clean bathrooms. The tour is conducted in both Spanish and English at the same time, and there is no head set. It would have been better if there are separate guides with different languages and a head set for each person.

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.
Do not get lunch option

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.
CANCELAN CUANDO QUIEREN

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.
