Guides such as Mateo, Elena, Benny, and Diana are praised for clear instructions and lively storytelling.
“The trip was extremely well-organised and any very slight delays were due to clients not being punctual at the meeting points. Matteo was calm, professional and informative and always made sure everyone knew exactly what was happening and when. Toledo and Segovia were both worth visiting and the drive between the two places was very picturesque. Wrap up warm if you visit in winter - noticeably colder than Madrid and very showery when we visited. Luckily there are plenty of indoor options with many cafés, shops, restaurants, churches etc. We found public toilets and a great viewpoint in Toledo library and would recommend El Bernardino traditional restaurant in Segovia where…”
