Love all of it. Salamanca was very beautiful. Avila looks like a fairy tale. It just like being transfered to the old time. Highly recommended for everyone. The quided tour was very good planned. The guide has a lot to tell and we still have time to see the cities by ourselves.

A long but great day out to Salamanca and Avila. Early start but right at the beginning we knew we were in safe hands with Stephi our guide and Victor the driver. The coach was comfortable, chat relevant and informative and timings just right. Would highly recommend. Thanks

I'm very happy that I went on this tour. I learned so much about salamanca and got enough time to admire its beauty. We had a little less time in Avila but just enough to walk around and take great shots. Our guide Stephie was wonderful and made sure all the questions were answered. Dont hesitate to take this tour if you have a free day while staying in Madrid!
