Comfort

14-Jul-2022

It was well planned. The guide was informed and friendly and the pace was comfortable. The only drawback was the hot weather but they didn’t have control of that. Good trip.

Great trip for whole family!

24-May-2022

Carlos is very entertaining and the trip was good overall. As a guide, Carlos was both good at sharing some of the historical aspect of Segovia and Avila, and also some of the modern information. Carlos very interactive, personable, breaking up the conversation with many of us on the tour. He was entertaining to a teenager in informational to us on history and culture. Well done!

FANTASIA POR EUROPA

21-Jul-2022

We did a multiday tour, as a family (2 adults, 2 kids) through Falabella and It was the best trip of our lives! All the very prepared guides, especially Enrique Vásquez and the director Carlos, made our vacation a wonderful experience. Accomplished, responsible and very aware of each person. We made a great team. We would return as soon as possible. Thank you

Excellent tour. Plenty of time in Segovia, partly led by tour guide and partly own time for exploring and lunch. Not as much time in Avila, but still enough time for a good over view. Henrique was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. Would have liked a bit more time in Avila to walk on the walls, but its a very full on and busy tour, so that wouldve made it longer. Recommended.
