Ancient Architecture
This was a somewhat larger group, so a very comfortable bus made the trip easier. This was a 8 hour trip so we had time to really enjoy are surroundings. The Guide did a good job explains the history pertaining to these ancient cities. The vibe was positive and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I thought it was well worth the money.

A very basic offering....
A very basic offering. The guide lacked enthusiasm and, in fact, seemed annoyed at questions. He offered the bare minimum explanation of things that one could easily have read online. The fact that no one gathered around him for extra questions suggested this.

A Wonderful Taste of Some Spanish Classics
Day tour to Segovia and Avila from Madrid. This was a wonderful way to see too of Spain's classic sites in a day out of Madrid. I was pleasantly surprised that the giant bus was not full. Our guide, Pilar, was extremely knowledgeable, delightfully casual and I greatly admired her fluency switching back and forth between Spanish and English.

Highly recommended
This was such a lovely day trip, the journey was pleasant and there was a little history along the way. Segovia is stunning, the tour guide gave clear instructions both in Spanish and English. There were plenty of photo opportunities and also free time to explore. The stop at Avila seemed short but I felt like we toured the best part. It would have been nice to have a little more time and information here. Otherwise highly recommended!!
Operator response

Fluently organised trip of 2 cities
An easy way to see two great cities without having to worry about anything yourself. The 9 hours went faster than we thought. The bus left and arrived exactly on time. There was enough time to see the essential sights and have some free time.
