The key to the trip was the Guide. Our guide Pilar was very knowledgeable and informative. Visiting the monuments without the historical background isn't nearly as entertaining and worthwhile as if you have a guide sharing the history and insights into the attraction. Segovia was much more interesting than Avila. My wife and I were glad we took the day trip from Madrid

Did not go on this trip because I found the other Avila/ Segovia trip included more. But I got charged for this one also I tried to cancel but the site would not allow me to do so. Upset that I was told I was beyond the cancel time and still got charged over $90.00!

Segovia is more interesting than Avila. Both Sarah and Rafael were great guides although some streets were not easy to walk on. Need better walking shoes, I guess.

The guides were not at all the usual engrossing guides we have previously had on our Viator experiences. There was no history or information on the entire bus ride to and from our destination. When we arrived explanations were minimal and the guides never waited for the entire party to catch up. We had little or no explanations throughout the entire days tour. There was no attempt to connect with the group. The worst was that they left nine people behind, they never counted to see if the entire group was back at the meeting place. This resulted in a 40 minute delay in returning to Madrid since they now had to go and find them. We have always used Viator in the past but this was a very disappointing experience.

our guide Raphael was full of humor and even though the trip had a lot of walking he kept us interested and looking forward to the next stop... a well organized tour with a great crew!

The drive was great, driver unfriendly and grumpy. Onboard gal a fellow, never had a smile or “welcome”.
First stop in Ávila, was very difficult to understand. Left the group and did a self tour.
Next tour guide in Segovia, was clear and excellent, engaged, informative, funny.
And spent explaining as other tours passed us by.

Both cities are worth seeing. Be aware it's a LOT of walking. I didn't get the entrance fees initially. That was a mistake in booking, but you can buy them at the start of the tour. Definitely make sure you include the entrance fees when you book.

Excellent narration of history of the many houses and cathedrals by guide, Marta. It was very interesting to learn the timeliness of kings, queens and what each built.
