Great 1 day tour of many historical sites.

We had a great experience visiting many Avila and Salamanca sites in 1 day. The tour guide was very attentive. The bus coach was comfy and not crowded.

Worth the time and money

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour went beyond expectation. Ignacio was very knowledgeable. It was going very well until the rain cut the tour short. I would do the tour again in the future.

Fabulous Salamanca & Avila

Published on Oct, 2024

This was an excellent excursion from start to finish. Our guide was enthusiastic and delivered the content, bilingually,without hesitation. This also alternated from place to place as well. It was definitely a highlight excursion and the beauty was the right amount of free time we had. Lunch stops and toilet breaks included. As mentioned, the guide would have done this tour on numerous occasions but her enthusiasm did not wane. The coach was extremely comfortable with a safe driver. One of the best tours I have experienced and I have done many over the years.

Fun and knowledgeable!
