If you keep in perspective that this is a large group tour, it is well worth the trip. It is a top line overview of both Toledo and Segovia. There are obviously many things to see and do in both cities that cannot possibly be done In just one day. With this in mind, the tour was excellent. Guides were very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see these beautiful cities who are on a budget.

We had a great time! It was a long day, but we really enjoyed it and learned so much. The tour also made it very easy to see the highlights of each City within a short period of time.

Segovia and Toledo were delivered as well as could be expected. The bus, driver and our guide, Enrique were each top notch.
The meeting place was depressing. We had to work our way through a festive crowd, including children, advancing on the Bullring, eager to watch drawn out slaughtering that is somehow considered a spot.

This one is like someone taking you to a mall that it’s closed and telling you “ we have this store here, behind that wall in front of you that has amazing items, but we won’t take you in” over and over and over. The they cancel portion of the tour with no reason given. Guide was great telling us what was behind the wall, but we did not get to see it!

Amount of walking up and down was too much for my age - should have been a smaller group in a smaller vehicle.

This tour was amazing. Both Toledo and Segovia were spectacular. It was very informative and balanced the amount of formal tour time with personal exploration time. Our tour guides were great! They kept everyone on time and though it was a long day, everything went smoothly, and they kept us engaged. We chose to do the optional Avila option and to be honest, I would say to save your money and time and not choose it. The first 2 were excellent but by the time we arrived in Avila we only had a 20 minute tour and 20 minutes for our own time. It’s certainly a great medieval what would you give a title? city but probably not the best use of money or time. We would however fully recommend the first 2 options as we really enjoyed it.

Very good tour. The part done on foot is the best, where we stop at the main points and learn about the history of the place. If you take the walking tour alone, you will certainly miss out on the history that surrounds you and you may pass by some location or detail unnoticed. About 1 hour from Madrid, a day trip that is worth it.
