The tour was great but for some strange reason, my name was not listed on the list despite me receiving the confirmation from Viator. Luckily, the ground handler still accepted me and found a place for me in the tour group.

Tour was very interesting. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He answered all questions we had.

The tour was worth the trip as Toledo and Segovia are indeed beautiful and steeped in history. However, be prepared for a long bus ride for the day and not on the same bus. Unfortunately when we were scheduled to leave Toledo we had no bus waiting for us and we were forced to wait for more than a half hour in 102 degrees with no explanation except the operator was "the only one here". Then when we were ready to leave Segovia we were told to meet at a certain point and found out from someone else it was changed. We were told they were sorry. Beware!

The bus' air condtioner broke. We were trapped inside a bus with no windows, emergency doors did not work with temperature over 98 degrees in a traffic jam due to a car wreck . Company did not have an emergency plan for this circunstances. The part of the tour in the city was good but nothing compares to be exposed of suffocating conditions inside a vehicle that became an oven. This company was lucky that no one has a cardiac arrest inside the bus.

Toledo is a great city with an amazing history, but despite all that, Sagovia is simply breathtaking. From the aqueduct at the beginning of the tour, to the fairytale castle at the end of tour, every detail was mesmerizing. But the absolute best part of the tours was that both guides were not only charming and knowledgeable, but they both lived in those cities, knew the people, and were passionate about their homeland and proud of their history. They were not just reciting a paragraph from a travel booklet.

The yellow tour guide was a mess. She said because it was Easter and kept saying I’m one person taking care of 90 persons. She barely spoke English. They kept changing buses and we were left without a tour guide in the way to Segovia. However both walking tour guides Jesus in Toledo and Maria were excellent. Changing buses was a mess and they end up 2 people left without seats and they had to hire a taxi to take them back to Madrid Both cities were amazing but more time needed to explore. We couldn’t get in to the palaces and barely were able to get tickets to get inside the Cathedral in Segovia which was amazing

Segovia aqueduct and pastry of Segovia. Stunning Christian overlay on the synagogue and mosque. Andrea guide terrific. Toledo navigation on our own a bit daunting, could’ve used more clear directions and a simplified map to see the main features, the synagogues, mosque and El Greco, which we ran outta time to find. Disappointing.

The tour guide Diego and the driver were ver nice and Diego is a knowledgeable person and explain to us the details and history of the places during our tour.

The tour guide left us with time for looking around in Toledo. It was confusing and I was lost. I used my little bit of Spanish to ask how to get back to the escalator down. It was upsetting because I thought I would miss the bus. I think one day in Toledo with a guide for most of the time is better for me. Segovia was lovely but I was tired.
