This is a poorly planned tour. Most of the time was wasted on river walk instead of city/castle/catedral/foods exploration. This tour is not suitable for older people. The tour guide seems to rush to complete the tour. Not recommended.

Christina was great! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The walk around the river was so peaceful and the views were incredible. We got a great tour of the castle and had a few hours of free time to eat and look at the cathedral.

The Guide mentioned that this was her first tour of this kind. I believe she might’ve been a substitute. We had to run to catch the train in the morning. The guide did not know many facts about this tour. When we were supposed to meet in the afternoon. She was 15 minutes late. Then her boss did not give her the correct date for the tickets. My three daughters had to run to catch the train with only two minutes left. I’m just giving this feedback to help her in her growth. And to not let others have the same experience.

Cristina was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I enjoyed seeing the castle. We had a nice outdoor lunch. The walk along the river was beautiful.

Laura was a great tour guide who knew so much, and was happy to answer any questions. She showed us some great spots along Segovia and even gave us a restaurant recommendation during our break. Great tour!
