Understanding Historical Roots and Influence
John_H, Sept 2023
Impressive Roman Culture and influence in theses areas and how the construction is in great shape. Lots of history and great guide services.
Rushed and Basically Only a Walking Tour
Donald_L, Sept 2023
I went into this experience with high expectations and was unfortunately disappointed. I would recommend you schedule a full day tour of Toledo or Segovia separately, or go on your own. Touring them together gave MINIMAL time in both destinations, and most of it was wasted on “walking tours”. Overall: guides and buses were nice, but the content of the tour is incredibly rushed and most of your day will be on a bus! Tour in Toledo: walked through the city and looked at all the important monuments from the outside! We did not go inside any monuments. I would have rather taken an hour alone to view a few monuments than walk around unnecessarily. The “free time” shared in the itinerary was only 20 minutes to get marzipan and coffee. We then spent ~45 “touring” a jewelers factory. We saw 5 minutes of someone making a sword, and someone making jewelry. Then spent ~30 minutes being pressured to buy things from the sales staff. Bus ride to Segovia: while bus is very nice, it gets HOT! Bring your own fan and take a Dramamine if you get motion sickness. Segovia: we had 1 hour to get lunch, which in Spain is challenging. I felt rushed. We then had another walking tour, where we just looked at the exterior of buildings. The aqueduct is very impressive though, and is incredibly cool (didn’t have much time to look at it though). We ended the day at the Alcazar in Sevilla where we had 20 minutes!!! To view the entire castle. I was speed walking through the entire thing, and did not enjoy it at all. The Alcazar is incredibly, and the inside has lots of cool artifacts… had I been able to spend time looking at them… Overall, save your time and money, and booked a whole day excursion to one of these cities! Two in one day is TOO MUCH!

Dear Donald, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your comment, we really appreciate it. First of all, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused. The tour is organized to visit two cities in one day, with at least an hour and a half distance between them, so we effectively have an itinerary to follow to ensure a guided visit to the most important places in each one and in this way comply with the service offered. Our intention is that you take with you the best memories and therefore we regret that this was not your case. We will take into account each of your observations to take the necessary measures to develop the tour in the best possible way. Kind Regards from Amigo Tours.
Definitely a must-see
Dorrice_P, Sept 2023
Great way to see three not-to-be missed unescosites and the countryside in between. Our guide Javier was great and had great knowledge of the history and the sites
Response from Host, Sept 2023
Dear Dorrice, We are happy to know that you enjoyed your guided tour of Toledo and Segovia and that Javier has contributed to it. Best Regards. Amigo Tours
Highly Recommended
Kevin_P, Sept 2023
Amigo - you need to provide clearer instructions on the pick-up location and the welcome people need clear signage (there was none). Consequently, most people were left stranded in different points around the pick-up location because it was simply confusing and unclear where the pick-up point was supposed to be. Despite this, it was an excellent tour. Toledo is beautiful and well worth a visit. But the star of the show is Segovia. This town will take your breath away, with it's amazing aqueduct, beautiful backstreets, stunning architecture and gorgeous landscape views. Our tour guide (Ignacio) gave clear meet-up instructions and a depth of knowledge of every part of each town. He was great - thankyou Ignacio. The bus company (separate from the tour company) let the show down. A late pick-up, then a very delayed return bus from Segovia that left us all standing in the pouring rain for 45mins. The name of the bus company ('Chaos') was choas by name and nature. Ignacio encouraged us to complain - we could see he was very upset about the delay. Nonetheless, when we were eventually given a bus, it was very clean, comfortable and the driver was very professional. Despite the transport problem, I would highly recommend this tour.

Dear Kevin, Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to leave us this detailed evaluation of your visit. First of all we want to apologize for the inconvenience caused with transportation in Segovia, it was indeed an unfortunate situation that has affected the closure of the tour. In this regard, I inform you that we are already working with the transportation company to prevent this from happening again. On the other hand, we are very happy to know that the places visited and the knowledge of history transmitted by Ignacio have allowed you to properly enjoy the tour. We will take into account all your observations to improve. We hope to see you on a future tour. Best regards from Amigo Tours.
Great

The visit to Toledo was great. The history of both town was presented in a great way. The tour guide Quique is very knowledgeable of the history and facts of both cities.

Good one day tour from Madrid
Ken_K, Sept 2023
Personable guide, good tempo. The last stop would have been better with an hour rather than 25 minutes to see the entire Alcazár.
A slice of history well worth seeing!!
Kaye_H, Sept 2023
Loved the medieval cities, especially Toledo. Our guide was great giving interesting commentary and information on the history of the area. Fabulous to see these cities being preserved.
Tour guide for English...
Catherine_K, Sept 2023
Tour guide for English speaking group was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The trips to Toledo and Segovia were fantastic. (I wish we went into the cathedrals at both places, though). The trip to Avilla was way too too fast. Less than an hour, a tour guide who was difficult to understand, spoke more to Spanish speakers than to English. I enjoyed seeing the outside walled city, going inside was a waste of time.
Fantastic
Vigoosh_B, Sept 2023

wonderful stops for photos
Vicki_G, Sept 2023
I liked the choice of cities and had already had great experiences with Viator in Portugal's Douro Valley, etc.
Stunning views
zurinaroszamri, Sept 2023
Spectacular views of Toledo & Segovia. Excellent trip very comfortable bus & organized. Tour guide was friendly & knowledgable, giving information on the places we visited and fun too! Enough time to enjoy the places & free time on our own to take pictures and meals for the day as well! Highly recommended.
A tour to remember!
TM_L, Aug 2023
Khan was funny, knowledgeable and all around amazing. There was not anyone in our group who did not love him. You can feel his passion, knowledge and care in every step. Once you share something with him, it sticks and he will make sure to point it out the rest of the tour. To me this was the highlight of my trip. As for going with this tour, I intentionally wanted one without Avila. I wanted to see a good amount but not be burnt out by the experience. We only went into a few spots but that was the goal for me. I’m not a Catholic so going into churches is not a selling point. Also, we went on a Sunday which I actually think helped keep us focused and crowds reduced.

Best historical tour!
Amani_G, Aug 2023
This was a great tour! There was plenty of walking and stairs where if you have any mobility challenges you may have difficulties. Our guides, Kahn & Cynthia, along with driver Juan Pablo were excellent guides. They were thorough in the history of both cities and entertained every question any of us asked. The highlight of our trip was the amazing aqueduct in Segovia - the history behind it and how recently it was in use!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Amani_G, Thanks for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed the day with our colleagues! They will be pleased to catch your feedback :-) We look forward to sharing another adventure with you in the near future. Mariana, Amigo tour
Toledo panoramic view...
Raghav_L, Aug 2023
Toledo panoramic view point. Segovia aqueduct and Avila walls. Would be good if the Toledo cathedral visit (inside) was included in the package

MALUCILA_C, Aug 2023
Great tour. Rodrigo our guide was the best. Very engaging. Wish we had more time though to see the cathedrals and museums but overall a good tour to see the highlights of Toledo and Segovia.

Couldn’t have done it on our own.
Linda_C, Aug 2023
Rodrigo was an amazing guide. We were going to try to tackle Toledo and Segovia on our own and would have missed so much! From his extensive knowledge of the Jewish Quarters of both towns to his knowledge of the churches, history and architecture of each area was way beyond what we could’ve appreciated on our own. Great tour!!

Dear Linda_C, We are pleased to know that you had a great day with Rodrigo . Thanks for taking the time to rate us, it means a lot to Amigo tours team! :-) Mariana, Amigo tours
