The tour is as advertised however the group size is too big. They say 30 people and I’m certain we had more but even 30 people is too hard for the guide to communicate with. Not the guide’s fault, just poorly organized.
The sites were great and the transportation was convenient and comfortable.
I’d suggest finding a smaller tour or, we saw tours with individual headsets so you could hear the guide. Maybe use that type of tour for larger groups.

Great tour. Javier and Enrique were our tour guides and they were a wealth of knowledge. Toledo and Segovia were amazing. I skipped Avila as it was a long day for me.

The places we visited were beautiful and really does have a rich culture and history. But we got very less time to explore and we were constantly rushed - no time to even have food. Given that service is slow, we ended up having to miss an entire walking tour in the second half of the tour. The tour guide seemed knowledgable but it was hard to understand what was being explained.

Amazing trip with great historic summary and stories by Javi (the bearded guy). Toledo is a great place to visit, don’t expect to have breakfast sooner than 10am. Then Segovia is amazing!!! Specially the aqueduct and the Cinderella castle.

Very nice the tour the buses are very comfortable the very friendly guide, and you can tell that he knows a lot... Javi the bearded thank you for showing us all these fantastic places!! One suggestion is that everything was going fast and we couldn't stop at a store to buy should have a few free minutes so that we can go to see what everyone likes... I saw things that interested me but I couldn't go in to see them... I wish they left some free time in each city
