This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

It was a good full-day tour overall. If you are in Madrid, this a great sightseeing option to visit both Avila and Segovia. Both cities are really beautiful. It’s worth it! Unfortunately, our group was big, and we were rushed all the time. That's was a shame because there is a lot to explore in those two cities.

Our tour guide, although I'm forgetting his name at the moment (sorry!), was amazing! He translated the tour in both English and Spanish to meet the needs of all passengers, and was very thorough and patient while doing so. On the way to Segovia, he explained what the afternoon would look like and told different stories along the way. He has a great deal of knowledge of Segovia and all the history of the city. We started the tour at the Aqueduct, which was the highlight! Wow! It was amazing! After our tour guide gave us the background of the Aqueduct, we walked through the town, and he pointed out various shops and landmarks along the way, including the Cathedral, again explaining the history. We walked as a group until we got to The Alcázar of Segovia, a castle that looks like it's out of a Disney movie. Admission was included. From there, we could wander on our own and had time to shop a little and try some marzipan. One of the tips he gave us was to try the Purple Violet candies, so I had to buy some! They are small, shaped like flowers, and oh so pretty! And tasty, as well! This was a good tour, allowing us just the right amount of time to see what we needed to see. I would recommend it and would do it all over again if I could!
