Disappointing

2.00What a disappointing and frustrating tour this turned out to be. One disclosure is that this was our first time booking a tour with more than 12 people. This particular tour turned out to have more than 40 people (full large bus) in addition to being bilingual (English/Spanish). The guide would speak in Spanish and then switch to English with no preamble. This meant that one had to stay very focused on her voice, hoping to catch the moment she switched from one language to the other in order not to miss the explanations. The guide moved really quickly from one spot to another with no time aloted to taking pictures or simply absorb your surroundings. The large number of people on the tour meant that the group stretched pretty far due to the narrow streets of the old town. The listening devices were pretty weak which meant that if one was closer to the end of the group the reception of the device was breaking up. A lot of time was wasted on waiting for people to catch up and counting and recounting them. This was in addition to the bus being almost 30 minutes late at the start. The tour guide herself was not very personable and the logistics of the tour were not handled in the best way.
Unforgettable experience, a must if you're visiting Madrid.

5.00An absolute must if you're visiting the Madrid area. The itinerary was planned perfectly, the guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the cities of Segovia and Ávila couldn't have been more charming.
History and culture in every corner.

2.00Avila, Segovia and Alcazar were extremely interesting sites to visit. They were 41 people on our trip of which 12 spoke English.. The rest spoke Spanish.. our tour guide spent approximately 95% talking in Spanish and the remaining time in English. Her English was not very good and difficult to understand.. this is not a problem of our guide. She was very helpful. However the company should have provided an additional staff member with good English. Surely they could afford this.
Good trip

5.00The guide was great but we had a hard time understanding her sometimes. These two cities are a must we had enough time for shopping and lunch
Don’t be fooled-It’s a Spanish language tour

3.00Tour was ok in that it did what it said/ took you to sights and fed you. Extremely disappointed in tour guide as this was billed as a Spanish/ English tour that was really a 80% Spanish/20% English tour. Do yourself a favor and determine before you go that the guide speaks and understands English.
Wonderful first trip to Spain

5.00My husband and I took this tour and had a wonderful time. The tour office was easy to find and the check in process was very quick and easy thanks to all the helpful, kind staff. We did the monuments version of the tour and felt that the price was very reasonable as we saw SO many things throughtout the day. We did not do the included lunch (though our tour guide let us know we were welcome to eat at the same restaurant as well should we like to change our mind while we were there). Those not doing the included lunch had a little over an hour to shop or eat on our own. My husband and I got a quick burger at a fast food restaurant (With a front seat view of the aquaduct btw!) and did some souvenir shopping until our group met up again. Our tour guide Matel did a wonderful job translating and explaining each monument as we went and was happy to answer any questions anyone had along the way. He made sure everyone was accounted for at every step of the trip and made sure no one got left behind. We covered a lot of places through the day but we never felt rushed or felt that we were running out of time. The bus ride was very comfortable and clean and the driver did a great job as well. We did a lot of walking, all on concrete/cobble stone so I would not recommend this tour to anyone who cannot tolerate those walking conditions. Should we be fortunate enough to come back to Spain again we will be booking another tour with them! Thank you again to Matel for making our first trip to Spain so special and memorable!
Adequate but not great

3.00Our guide was pleasant but not very clear providing advice in both Spanish and English. The guide frequently answered questions from Spanish speakers, but did not relay this information to English speakers. Time on the bus could have been used to discuss stops so visits would have more context. There was a lot of wasted time and uncertainty with what was happening next. For example we would have liked more time to explore the aqueduct in Segovia, and would have done it ourselves if we’d known the tour was just walking under the structure.
A good taster for these...

4.00A good taster for these two great cities but a long day with many steps to climb. The most disappointing aspect was that the church of Santa Teresa in Avila (our main reason for joining this tour) was closed due to fiestas. Surely information on this should be checked in advance!. Mateo was a good knowledgeable guide who did well to keep his herd together- even the black sheep.
