Excellent trip. Very well organised. Our tour guide, Beatriz was great. Her extensive knowledge, energy and humour kept the tour moving at a good pace. Visiting two major sites in a day is tiring but it is a very good trip and worth doing if you want to see both towns in a short time.

An easy and inexpensive way to get to see two charming historical cities. A good balance of short walks and inside visits at attractions Our guide David was energetic, very knowledgeable and kept things fun. The bus had some rows of seats that couldn’t accommodate tall people and the guides asked us not to move once we had been seated on the first leg. So the only downside was being painfully craned into the bus seat for that portion. One solution may have been to allow taller people to board first and tell them which rows had more leg room.
Dear Mark and Kristi, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review.

His energy, knowledge, and ability to keep the experience engaging and enjoyable are qualities that our guests frequently highlight. We also sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the bus seating. We understand how important comfort is during a full-day excursion, especially for taller travelers. Your suggestion about prioritizing boarding or identifying seats with additional legroom is very valuable, and we will share it with our operations team as we continually look for ways to improve our guests' experience. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to travel with us. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in Spain in the future. Best regards, Fun and Tickets Team
We had such a wonderful experience on our Ávila & Segovia tour with David and Beatriz. From the very beginning, they were very clear with instructions, organized, and made everything easy and seamless for the group. What truly stood out was how passionately they shared the history and stories behind each place. They explained everything to the best of their abilities in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and immersive. It did not feel like a typical guided tour—it felt like being transported back several centuries and experiencing the destinations through their storytelling. Because of them, we appreciated the historical significance, culture, and beauty of Ávila and Segovia on a much deeper level. Every stop became more meaningful and memorable. Thank you, David and Beatriz, for making this experience not just informative but truly experiential. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to appreciate these historic places beyond just taking photos!

Our guide David at times a bit difficult to understand. That might also have had to do with the sound quality of the headset. He had good knowledge and was patient. He didn’t always check on his group as he walked. I fell behind on the hills especially. His teammate and he kept everyone honest about time. Our driver Luis was excellent.
