The Avila walls and the Segovia Acquaduct were magnificent and views from the walls and Alcazar Segovia were spectacular. We went in Sept and weather was beautiful - the views were picture perfect! A pity that the tours do not include visits to the main cathedrals (it seemed that tour options at the time of our trip, was either wall visit w/out key cathedral entries, or vice versa) - though having said that I appreciate the time limits to the tours. The tour was a little rushed in my view, with only 30 mins self visit…”

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.”
