Tour Avila/ Segovia - Excellent tour, the only thing the bus was a little narrow! And the tour should be with seat selection, thus avoiding problems and preventing couples from being seated apart!

5 star views and amazing history - This is a must do trip. The Roman aqueducts, architecture, churches, and castle were amazing. Our guide, Beatriz, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The views were stunning. There was a lot of walking on uneven rock roads and stairs so it is not easy for strollers or elderly.

Easy Day Trip! - Very great put together tour and made it so easy to see two places near Madrid! The bus ride was pleasant and the guides were great. We were able to have a bit of free time, but not too much that we had to walk around by ourselves.

Be on Time! - After leaving Madrid, our entire bus returned to pick up latecomers. This is unacceptable as all others on the bus were all on time. This made a long tour day longer. Our tour guide was charming and informative.
