Fun and carefree travel to Avila and Segovia - This was a great tour! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing both Avila and Segovia. Well worth our day.
Roberto and his bus ensured we had a smooth and comfortable transport.
Jorge was a competent guide and provided clear directions and interesting history. We especially liked the high quality audio devices which allowed us to hear Jorge no matter where we were. It was very easy to participate in this tour and stay informed.
Well done, Julia Travel!

Overall pleasant visit - Pace and time control were good. However, english narrative carried lower weight with about 35 to 40%.
Maria is knwledgable about the introduction of the various places. She is friend and firm.
A good and impressive guide overall.
