What to do and see in Salamanca, Castile and Leon: The Best City Tours
Known as Spain’s "golden city," Salamanca is rich in architectural, religious and gastronomic culture. Marvel at the La Casa de las Conchas (house of shells) and the 18th century Plaza Mayor, then pore over the fresh produce of the Central Market. Both the Old and New Cathedrals of Salamanca are celebrations of Renaissance and Gothic styles.

Javier was an excellent tour guide. He met us at our hotel and was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Salamanca and the University. This tour made us wish we had more time to explore Salamanca.

We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.

We spent 3 days in Valladolid last week on a trip by train through Spain. The only reason we came to this city was because the AVE train stops here. Looking for tourist attractions to book was tough, and it turns out thats because there isn't many international tourists ! I took a chance to book this cycle tour 2 months in advance, as the reviews on TA are really old, and I wasn't sure whether the tour was still operating. Javier responded immediately, and arranged to collect us from our hotel for the tour, and pay when we met. He arrived as arranged, and took us to the park close to the railway station, where there is a booth advertising cycle rides with Itinerate. We were kitted out with cycles which were more than adequate, as the terrain was luckily very flat. Javier's sister Rebecca also accompanied us, and was keen to practise her English skills. We gently cycled around the city and Javier explained all the key points. There were a number of cycle lanes in the newer sections of the town, and so we felt perfectly safe. We found that Valladolid was once the capital of Spain ..... for about 6 years ! The town therefore has many historic buildings and a very nice affluent feel to it. We were very impressed with the city, which seemed much more 'spanish' than many we've visited, and also with the fact that there were so few tourists there. Everyone was so friendly. I would thoroughly recommend Valladolid as worth a visit, and taking the tour with Javier who loves his home town, certainly allows you to get the best out of the city. Thank you Javier & Rebecca !

We did the Toledo-Segovia day tour and it was fantastic! Our guide Alfonso was so knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, he truly made the experience unforgettable. The bus was great, the schedule ran on-time throughout the day, and we were able to see all the best sites in the two cities while learning about their history. I would 100% book another tour with Amigo Tours in the future and would recommend this company to everyone!
