A new excursion to enjoy - The bus was comfortable. We had a tour guide who was speaking in Spanish and English. In both places we had some time to explore ourselves the cities and take pictures.

Despite the heat the tour was good. We consider that Salamanca gives to do it a whole day because there are places q - Beautiful places and Irene our guide was excellent. A great experience. It seems to us that Salamanca could be a full-day excursion because there are places that we could not visit for reasons of time and schedule.

Total irresponsibility. - Nobody showed up. They left me there waiting without any explanation. Then the guide Enrique said: there is no tour. What irresponsibility. It seems incredible to me that trip advisor works like this.
