The key to the trip was...

Scott_K, May 2024

The key to the trip was the Guide. Our guide Pilar was very knowledgeable and informative. Visiting the monuments without the historical background isn't nearly as entertaining and worthwhile as if you have a guide sharing the history and insights into the attraction. Segovia was much more interesting than Avila. My wife and I were glad we took the day trip from Madrid

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Scott_K, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic day trip to Avila and Segovia from Madrid. It's wonderful to know that our guide, Pilar, made the trip memorable with her knowledge and insights into the attractions.

We're glad to hear that Segovia left a particularly strong impression on you and that you and your wife enjoyed the day trip overall. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more enriching experiences in the future! Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

I like Segovia more than Avila

Rey_B, May 2024

Segovia is more interesting than Avila. Both Sarah and Rafael were great guides although some streets were not easy to walk on. Need better walking shoes, I guess.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Rey_B, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you found Segovia more interesting than Avila and that both Sara and Rafael were great guides. We understand that some streets can be challenging to walk on, and we appreciate your suggestion to wear better walking shoes for future tours. Your comfort and enjoyment are important to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more tours in the future! Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

Disappointing Day

Larry_W, Apr 2024

The guides were not at all the usual engrossing guides we have previously had on our Viator experiences. There was no history or information on the entire bus ride to and from our destination. When we arrived explanations were minimal and the guides never waited for the entire party to catch up. We had little or no explanations throughout the entire days tour. There was no attempt to connect with the group. The worst was that they left nine people behind, they never counted to see if the entire group was back at the meeting place. This resulted in a 40 minute delay in returning to Madrid since they now had to go and find them. We have always used Viator in the past but this was a very disappointing experience.

really worth the trip!

Ioannis_P, Apr 2024

our guide Raphael was full of humor and even though the trip had a lot of walking he kept us interested and looking forward to the next stop... a well organized tour with a great crew!

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Ioannis, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found our Avila and Segovia Full Day Tour worth the trip.

Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

Tons of walking

Ruth_H, Apr 2024

The drive was great, driver unfriendly and grumpy. Onboard gal a fellow, never had a smile or “welcome”. First stop in Ávila, was very difficult to understand. Left the group and did a self tour. Next tour guide in Segovia, was clear and excellent, engaged, informative, funny. And spent explaining as other tours passed us by.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Ruth, We are glad to hear that despite the miscommunication with the driver, the drive was great, for us the security of our passengers is the most important thing. Thank you for your kind words about our guide in Segovia. All our guides are certified in English, we are sorry to know that it was very difficult for you to understand your tour guide in Avila. We take note of your comments to improve our services. Thank you for joining our tour. With regards, Fun and Tickets Team

Beautiful cities and great guides

Theresa_S, Apr 2024

Both cities are worth seeing. Be aware it's a LOT of walking. I didn't get the entrance fees initially. That was a mistake in booking, but you can buy them at the start of the tour. Definitely make sure you include the entrance fees when you book.

Segovia

Karl_S, Apr 2024

Excellent narration of history of the many houses and cathedrals by guide, Marta. It was very interesting to learn the timeliness of kings, queens and what each built.

Overall good but 4 Stars Only

Kelly_L, Apr 2024

There were over 100 people on our tour. The double decker bus we traveled in was comfortable. When we arrived to each city there was one tour guide for 34 people. Our guides, Gloria (Avila) and Daniel (Segovia) were very knowledgeable about their towns. They seemed to know every bit of history there was to know about the place. With 34 people, however, the tours were anything but personal and questions were not encouraged. The tour offered a great way for us to see Avila and Segovia at a reasonable price. The tour was rated a 4 because of the high pressure tactics to purchase the monument entrances through the tour company and the tapa experience. In Avila, when we stopped at Las Murallas restaurant in Avila for the drink of our choice and a tapa, the waiters were in a hurry and pushed water on the guests. For those of us who asked, we were able to have them exchange the water and serve us either beer or wine. The tapa and drink were free. The restaurant tried to push lunch. No one who ordered lunch was happy. They didn't have enough time to eat and didn't care for the food. For those of just having the small tapa, the waiters grabbed our dishes off the table as quickly as possible. Wasn't a comfortable environment. Several of us left and went over to Los Logo's restaurant where we were welcomed.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Kelly_L, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you had an overall good experience on our Avila and Segovia Full Day Tour and that you found the transportation comfortable and the guides knowledgeable about their respective towns. We apologize for any lack of personalization due to the large group size, and we'll take your comments into consideration for future improvements. Regarding the high-pressure tactics and the tapa experience, we apologize for any discomfort you experienced. We'll review our procedures to ensure a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for our guests. Your feedback regarding the restaurant experience is valuable, and we'll address this with our partners to ensure better service in the future. We appreciate your honesty and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more satisfactory experience in the future. Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

A Long Day, But Definitely Worth the Drive

Beth_R, Apr 2024

This was an enjoyable day trip. There were about 80 people divided among 3 guides, so it did get a little chaotic at times. I do think that the trip price should include admission to the various monuments. I ended up paying another 50-ish Euros the morning of the trip, and with a lot of people doing that, I felt it did kind of hold things up. Our bus guide gave full explanations of the cities--twice--for both English and Spanish speakers, and our trip guide was also very thorough and spoke excellent English.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello Beth_R, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Avila and Segovia Full Day Tour from Madrid. We're glad to hear that you found the trip enjoyable overall. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the large group size and the need to divide into smaller groups with multiple guides. We understand that this could lead to some chaos and delays at times. Regarding the admission to the monuments, we appreciate your suggestion and will certainly consider it for future improvements. We're pleased to hear that both your bus guide and trip guide provided thorough explanations and spoke excellent English, ensuring a high-quality experience for all participants. Thank you for choosing to explore with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for more adventures in the future! Warm regards from the Fun&Tickets team!

Historic and Religious Discovering

Grethel_B, Apr 2024

The tour to Segovia was pretty quick and the guide didn't explain a lot of things that Gloria (second guide) explained later at Ávila. Ávila is smaller than Segovia but the tour was much more interesting for all the history facts Gloria gave us.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Grethel_B, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your Avila and Segovia Full Day Tour from Madrid. We appreciate your feedback about the differences in the tours provided by the guides. It's great to know that Gloria's insights into Avila's history made the tour particularly interesting for you.

We aim to provide enriching experiences for our guests, and we hope to welcome you back for more historic and religious discoveries in the future! Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

Beautiful Cities to Visit

Anna_W, Apr 2024

Avilla and Segovia are worth seeing for sure. This is a large group on a bus that is broken up to three smaller groups once you are in the cities. I don't love large group tours but overall we had a good experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We understand that large group tours may not be everyone's preference, but we're glad to hear that despite this, you had a good overall experience.

Amazing Tour

Tammi_K, Apr 2024

What an awesome tour. I’m glad I dressed for the weather because it was very cold. However, Raphael was our tour guide and he was amazing. The scenery was incredible!! I would definitely use Viator to book my excursions again when I come to Madrid.

Good but Specific details needed

GP_R, Mar 2024

It was a good experience. I just wish that you would be more specific about the attractions if there will be in one location or not. This is so your customers will be aware where to meet you if they lost the group. Some people can be old and would like to skip some attractions. This is just to give them options.

Well worth the money and time

Lance_W, Mar 2024

Hitting both towns was worth the all day excursion. Lots to see with the town tours, including two beautiful cathedrals and the amazing castle. I suggest you add the small bit of extra money for the building tours as it made the trip fully worth the time. Our tour guide Oscar was exceptionally knowledgeable and knew every detail of all the areas inside the town walls. I highly recommend.

Avilla and Segovia tour.

Celso_D, Mar 2024

The tour exceeded my expectations. It's worth more than what we paid considering that it lasted over 9 hours. The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. The complimentary tapas and drink was a welcome surprise.. That there was no solicitation for gratuities was so unlike the "American tip culture" and we were very happy to give tips to the staff. Very well done!
