5.00It was good tour to sample Segovia and Avila. The coach bus was very comfortable and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about each stop we visited. If you are looking for a relaxing tour to sample these beautiful cities, we recommend.
Happy with choice, zero complaints only praise.

5.00Our guide Patricia was great, hardest working your guide on the ground. As a day trip from Madrid it was super efficient and pleasurable. This was the first tour we’ve done. This would be my recommendation: Skip the meal and tour of cathedral in Segovia- to have more time exploring the city. We enjoyed the experience of the meal, but it took all of our time. Do the walk along the city wall in Avila, I was traveling in low tourist time and could have just purchased entrance ticket separately at time of tour. We had no expectations and ended the day happy and satisfied with our choice. Patricia narrates in Spanish and in English- and she does a really good job of it.
Unless company improves protocol, seek elsewhere.

2.00The good: able to visit both towns in a very comfortable bus. The bad: company packs more than four tour versions into the same bus; which is a recipe for annoying results. Some passengers were visiting both towns, others just one. Some passengers had pre purchased access to the key attractions, others did not. So it was necessary to double check and mark the printed list that the guides had, MULTIPLE TIMES! This was an unnecessary waste of time; if the company wants to continue with this type of operation, they need to come up with a protocol that does not necessitate checking for names in the printed list. We actually did not have enough time for a good lunch due to that ludicrous situation. In the past, we have taken tours to multiple locations without such blatant interference, because every person aboard the bus had identical itineraries. Either get separate buses or stick to one itinerary for all. DO NOT PUT MULTIPLE TOURS ON THE SAME BUS. Unless you come up with a streamlined plan to accommodate everyone on board, QUICKLY! Also, tour guides must EMPHASIZE the departure times, before arrival. They mentioned once just before disembarking, and sure enough, some travelers ignored the instructions, or thought they were merely suggestions. We were told be here by 2:50. Most of us were, but we had to wait over 15 minutes for those lollygaggers. That is very inconsiderate. Put enough emphasis on punctual scheduling and stick to it. All our previous experiences in different tours were flawless. Not this one!
Worst Tour Ever

1.00Worst tour ever taken. Bus driver did not speak English. There was no tour guide until we got to the site. Tour guide did not have audio equip so we had to wait 1/2 hr. It was 80% Spanish and the tour guide, in order to make up time was so far in front of us that we never heard the commentary, we were rushed so it was difficult to take photos and had no time to shop or enjoy any of the sites. We were on the run constantly for 6 miles. Tour guide did not pay attention to the group or the count of people, we were losing people. She was more interested in running ahead so she could smoke. At the end of the trip the non English speaking bus driver dropped us off at a location and we had no idea where we were at. It was apparent the tour guide did not know what she was doing.
Good bad
