What are people saying about Madrid

Guillermo_M, Jul 2026

Toledo, Sevilla and Avila

Reading Spain history is one thing, but to see the Cathedrals, locations, and artifacts makes history come alive. Topping off the day by winning the World Cup was new history being made. Our guides were excellent. A special shout out to Vanessa, who went out of her way to make my wife comfortable and offered options for her to continue.

Edward_R, Jul 2026

Nice trip

It was a great experience. A lot of walking, but worth it. I was surprised that the experience was just the church area. They mentioned the fort and other places to visit, but we didn’t. I got a little nervous when we were shown a map and I thought we had to go to the middle of town

Three Cities in One Day: Segovia, Avila and Toledo from Madrid

Artaud_C, Jul 2026

A fun and intellectually stimulating tour of Segovia, Avila, and Toledo.

Our brilliant, passionate, and articulate (in English and Spanish) guide Ms. Laura took us on an epic historical, political, and cultural journey through critical analysis of historical events and engaging interactions. She knew how to captivate her audience and include everyone in the conversation (always with a smile.). This experience was a memorable one and, hopefully, she will be my guide next time I sign up for another tour in the future. Also, kudos to Mr. Juan Carlos for his professionalism, congeniality, and impeccable driving skills.

Nestor_R, Jun 2026

I had an amazing...

I had an amazing experience on the Toledo and Segovia excursion. Our tour guides, Gabby and Karla, were absolutely fantastic. They were attentive, understanding, compassionate, and truly passionate about what they do. Their knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire day enjoyable and engaging. This all-day tour is a wonderful way to learn about the rich history, culture, and beauty of both cities. Gabby and Karla took the time to answer questions, share interesting facts, and ensure everyone felt comfortable throughout the journey. As a first-time visitor to Spain, this tour exceeded my expectations and gave me a deeper appreciation for the country's history and heritage. I would definitely recommend this excursion to my friends and family, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Spain for the first time. It was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of my trip.

Cuenca and the Enchanted City Full Day Tour from Madrid

Iris_P, Jun 2026

Best Tour to Cuenca with Sergi

I have taken many tours before, but this was the absolute BEST tour so far. What made it distinguishable was the tour guide, Sergi. He was knowledgeable of the culture, environment, and history of the area. His best quality was how he cared for the customers taking the tour. He insisted in safety first (reminding us of the safety belt and to keep hydrated and to make sure we were protected from the brutal sun), he counted the passengers every time we boarded the bus, he got to know our names and called us out to see how we were doing frequently. He even talked to individuals and got to know a little about each person. He made sure that everyone was engaged in his presentation by doing them interactively with us, asking us questions, making the presentation relevant to us, and even asking us for our opinion in different issues. He even presented historical information as a little 'play' with the youngest of the group! He was witty and funny and caring. This made this tour experience memorable. Sergi must consider teaching other tour guides how to present a valuable tour!

Well organised tour

The tour started on a large bus but we were split into 3 smaller groups which were a perfect size. We were lucky to have Beatrice as our guide for the day, she was knowledgeable and very entertaining. There is a lot of walking involved. At Segovia we had an included snack of egg tart on bread with a glass of beer, wine or soft drink, with the option to have lunch at the restaurant or have free time. A great, long day trip, very well organised.

Lovely day trip from Madrid!

Great day trip from Madrid! Lovely and interesting cities: Ávila and Segovia. Tour was well scheduled and a good pace. A fair amount of walking but it is not difficult walking and there are “on your own” times. Beatriz was an excellent English speaking guide. Definitely recommend.

Great day out

The itinerary is excellent! Beautiful places, lots of history and culture. Comfortable shoes is a must and Segovia was much cooler than Madrid so need some extra layer but check the weather forecast. Don’t expect too much from the English speaking guides and you’ll have a fabulous time :)

Idalgiza_G, May 2026

Don’t miss it. Amazing tour and guides.

This tour was amazing! I fell in love with Madrid. So rich in history and so beautiful. I personally found the Royal Palace more stunning than Versailles in France. My guide Beatriz “Bea” was so knowledgeable, funny, and engaging and made for an unforgettable experience. She was just a wealth of information and she made it fun, you just want to learn more. She also paid close attention to the group. At one point I didn’t see my daughter and had a moment of panic, Bea saw the look in my eyes and without my saying a word she pointed out where my daughter was standing. This tour and guide made for a very memorable experience and I highly recommend.
