Both cities are worth seeing. Be aware it's a LOT of walking. I didn't get the entrance fees initially. That was a mistake in booking, but you can buy them at the start of the tour. Definitely make sure you include the entrance fees when you book.

Excellent narration of history of the many houses and cathedrals by guide, Marta. It was very interesting to learn the timeliness of kings, queens and what each built.

There were over 100 people on our tour. The double decker bus we traveled in was comfortable. When we arrived to each city there was one tour guide for 34 people. Our guides, Gloria (Avila) and Daniel (Segovia) were very knowledgeable about their towns. They seemed to know every bit of history there was to know about the place. With 34 people, however, the tours were anything but personal and questions were not encouraged. The tour offered a great way for us to see Avila and Segovia at a reasonable price. The tour was rated a 4 because of the high pressure tactics to purchase the monument entrances through the tour company and the tapa experience. In Avila, when we stopped at Las Murallas restaurant in Avila for the drink of our choice and a tapa, the waiters were in a hurry and pushed water on the guests. For those of us who asked, we were able to have them exchange the water and serve us either beer or wine. The tapa and drink were free. The restaurant tried to push lunch. No one who ordered lunch was happy. They didn't have enough time to eat and didn't care for the food. For those of just having the small tapa, the waiters grabbed our dishes off the table as quickly as possible. Wasn't a comfortable environment. Several of us left and went over to Los Logo's restaurant where we were welcomed.

Roman history in Avila and aqueduct in Segovia. Alcazar was terrific and Segovia a very interesting and beautiful place.

This was an enjoyable day trip. There were about 80 people divided among 3 guides, so it did get a little chaotic at times. I do think that the trip price should include admission to the various monuments. I ended up paying another 50-ish Euros the morning of the trip, and with a lot of people doing that, I felt it did kind of hold things up. Our bus guide gave full explanations of the cities--twice--for both English and Spanish speakers, and our trip guide was also very thorough and spoke excellent English.
