We had the most wonderful and peaceful experience. Angel, our driver/guide was fantastic. His goal was to accommodate our needs and wishes. Avila is a must see. This was truly a private tour with all that it means. Thanks for a wonderful day!
Our guide, Angel, was delightful, although his English was a tad limited. He was not able to give us much historical context for Ávila. That said, it is a very interesting town and the wall construction is fascinating, as is the Cathedral and Basilica.
Avila is amazing and unique. Most awesome cathedral and opportunity to walk along the wall. Several cafes to enjoy relaxing.
Jesus was fantastic. Went on my pace, English was great and I learned alot. We didn't stop talking for the entire trip
Alfonso was perfect. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and the ride was very enjoyable! He also spoke perfect English. I would definitely recommend the trip.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so glad our driver could give you local recommendations. We wish you all the best.
