Very good guide; needed to make the Spanish speaking guests be quite while she was translating into English. Quite difficult to hear at times. Gourmet lunch was just OK.

The whole trip is definitely worth going, especially for those who are religious because 75 of the trip is visits to cathedrals. Group was a little too big to catch up with the tour guide when he was speaking. Will be great if guide only spoke one language.

Poor guide takes the edge off an educational and enjoyable tour.

The trip was great. But the guide used Spanish for the first half of the group and then much shorter comments in English for the second half of the group. If it would be English only tour it would be much more interesting.

The ride through the countryside was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Avila and Segovia. I might have liked a different spot for lunch.

There is enough time spent in each place to get a feel of the two places.

Enjoyed the experience. The tour leader was excellent and spoke very good English. The tourist meal was rubbish. In your information it did not say that we should go to the tour operator to wait for the coach and if one of the travel consultants from the tour operator had not arrived on the other side of the road where the coaches stopped and saw us standing waiting, we would have missed the coach.

The guide describes all info very thoroughly. Wish we could have a map introduction of the places we visited. Other individual visitors do get one after they pay for the admission. Since we visited so many buildings in our trip, without a piece of info to remember, we tend to forget which cathedral or palace we visited.

Cities were spectacular, and guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would have liked a little time, even 15 minutes or so, for getting some souvenirs in each city. A route map within each city would have been helpful, we were often waiting for stragglers who we didn't want to lose.

Very good tour company and very friendly guide; however, the restaurant was not able to cater very well for vegetarians although the waiter was friendly and did try to help.

Lots of churches, very little Roman history.

Very nice trip! We didn't like the fact that the group was multi-langual, so we had to wait until the guide narrates in Spanish then he let Spanish folks walk around for 15 minutes until we have our lecture in English and then were given 5 minutes for the personal take. As the result, we had much less time to walk around and enjoy, we were always rushed through the things.
