Highly Recommend - Andres our driver and guide was great from pick up to drop off. He was knowledgeable and courteous, and provided a fantastic recommendation for lunch at which he made a reservation should we not want to find a place on our own (best meal I had in Spain). The day ended with a quick drink before the drive back to Madrid. This is a great small group tour which allows it to be a bit more personal. A few things to note: you will spend a bit more time in Salama nca than Avila. Travel time is about 2.5 hours from Madrid to Salamanca.

Great tour, wonderful guide - Andy was an amazing tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about facts and the history and culture of the area. He was SO patient and answered all of our questions. We drove to Salamanca and Avila on a small group tour (7 people) and it was perfect. After touring the town and cathedral, we went to a fabulous restaurant in town, Madre Mia. After touring the town of Avila, he treated us to Wine and coffee by the fire at the Patadores. Such a wonderful end to the day. We drove back to Madrid (1.5 hours) and said goodbye to our new “tour friends”. I highly recommend this 10 hour tour with Andy!! 5 STARS

Amazing day trip to Salamanca and Avila led by Andres!!!!!! - I traveled with a group led by Andres to Salamanca and Avila, Spain. First of all Andres was AMAZING! Andres is super upbeat and positive with outstanding English speaking skills and knowledge of fun facts in history to keep everyone's attention along the way. He thinks of small details like having bottled water available and allowing everyone to taste test different foods in each city...Despite rain that day we kept up a good pace and saw what we had expected to see! I was very hesitant about taking a guided tour, but I was so impressed that I can't wait to do something like this again. I highly recommend it to anyone when you're coming to Madrid!
