The tour was well paced with time to rest in the bus between Toledo and Segovia. The bus was comfortable and we were able to keep up with the walking tour.
The highlight of the tour was our guide, Khan. He is professiona and extremely knowledgeable about the various sites we visited in both cities. His knowledge, coupled with a great sense of humour made the information interesting and enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend this tour. Try to go with Khan's bus.

It was a totally different experience, but very good for those who have little time in Madrid and want to see something more.
The guide Maria was exceptional, I always managed to capture the customers' attention and it was obvious that he knew very well what he was saying, the driver Miguel was very professional, always driving safely and very polite with the customers.
The visit to Ávila ends up getting a little lost, as we only have 1 hour to get to know it, but it is an experience that I recommend.

I loved the ride. Our guide was very charismatic. The only thing was that the time to the third city was too short. I would have liked to know in advance before making the additional reservation.

I took a tour to Toledo and Segovia on May 8th, 2024 with Amigo Tour and the tour guide named Khan did an excellent job guiding us through the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who interested in doing a one day tour to visit these two cities.
