However on the ride to and from Toledo we were not told the bus was returning to the starting point to add more ppl for the Segovia tour. Therefore a good chunk of time was taken from us to either eat or purchase anything. Our Segovia trip however tour guide Karlos was super knowledgeable and he even when ahead to explain on the way over to Segovia all the different streets in the city before heading out to the destination. My only negative review was we were not able to buy anything to…”

“Communication to find the meeting point and the bus transportation were great. Guide was accommodating and informative, and it was an easy way to see both Avila and Segovia in a day. The only problem was the timing. We had only 30 minutes of free time to buy tickets to walk the wall at Avila, when the itinerary said we'd have 2 hours. Please adjust the description to reflect that so guests can adjust their expectations. Also, it was hard to hear the guide on the walking tour with a big group of people and the noise of cars and other people around the sites.”
