The company never reached...

Diego_A, Feb 2026
The company never reached out prior to our tour with the time of the guided tour and admission. It was not on any confirmation emails and they were unresponsive to our attempt to message them through Viator. Disappointed that we were denied the option to reschedule after they informed us at noon that we missed a 8:50am tour (we never picked this time and again were not given any notice that was our scheduled time).

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Diego, thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the tour time, which was an isolated situation and does not reflect our usual operations. We are a serious and responsible company, and all tour details, including schedules and admission, are clearly specified before booking. We regret the frustration this caused and appreciate your comments to improve our communication. Best Regards from the Quality Department of Amigo tours- Claudia

Worst experience

Vandana_L, Jan 2026
It was one of the worst experience on this tour. We reached our meeting point but could not locate the guide since there was no communication from him about his or her whereabouts. We ran around and ask people to identify them. We missed the tour and lost our money. We asked TripAdvisor for refund but it was declined. We will never book any trip through them.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Vandana_L Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely regret the situation and understand your frustration. However, it is important to clarify that the activity you reserved does not include a guided tour. It is designed specifically to allow guests to skip the ticket line and enter the museum without purchasing at the box office. For this reason, no guided explanations were provided. While we do offer guided visits to the castle, that was not the option selected in your reservation. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Kind regards from Amigo Tours -Alma

Decepcionante

ALVARO_L, Dec 2025
Es un fraude SI SE HACEN FILAS Y ADEMÁS NO ACLARAN QUE LOS NACIONALES NO DEBEN PAGAR It's a scam if they make people wait in line and also don't clarify that nationals shouldn't have to pay.

Make sure you ask for the...

Make sure you ask for the elevator if you are mobility impaired. The walk up the hill is steep! We went early on a Wednesday and didn't really need to skip-the-line because there was no line!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Cyd_K, Thank you very much. Our entire team is proud to have made this experience memorable for you. We'd love to welcome you back. Best regards from AMIGO TOURS. -Judy.

Clunky and frustrating ticketing experience

Kem_T, Jun 2025
Buying a “skip the line” is not worth it! Everyone lines up in one line so there is no advantage. And, for those over 60 it’s FREE which is not advertised clearly. When you buy the Viator ticket they send you a “voucher” which is not a ticket. Another company (not Viator) emails you the ticket but it does not clearly load as an attachment and cannot be added to your Apple wallet so not easy to show. Unfortunately, we don’t speak Spanish and the (2) ticket booth personnel speak no English so getting in becomes stressful.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Kem_T, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t ideal, and we truly appreciate your comments as they help us improve. Just to clarify, the "skip-the-line" access refers to avoiding the ticket purchase line, although all visitors must still go through the main entrance line. Regarding free entry for seniors, this depends on the site’s policies and applies only in specific cases. We’re sorry for any confusion with the tickets or language barriers, and we sincerely hope that despite the inconveniences, you were still able to enjoy your visit and take home good memories of the place. Warm regards, Amigo Tours Team -Alma

Loretto_O, Mar 2026
I was never sent the tickets I think it was a scam I paid and because of our age it wasn't necessary the experience is not so good as since I wasn't assigned guide it was very messy is not well understood there are many restricted places closed for remodeling and no explanation I wouldn't recommend it now

Bien, pero deberían ser más claros en el correo

ROBERTO_N, Feb 2025
Hay que tener en cuenta que llega un PDF con el código QR antes de la visita. Fuera de eso la visita fue muy bonita y práctica.

Lo que más recuerdo

Julio_C, Dec 2024
Me llamaron la atención: no.1: lo preciso de las informaciones de los carteles históricos, no.2: los jardines, no.3 los vitrales. Visita muy recomendada.
