Carmen and Roberto have led highly praised tours, though the audio app can be unreliable.
“C’était très intéressant, le guide était très instruit, très professionnel et très à l’écoute. Alors que la visite devait se faire en espagnol, il n’a pas hésité à parler en français dès qu’il a su que nous étions français. Grâce au guide nous avons appris beaucoup de choses et nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Il est passionné par son travail et cela est communicatif. Bravo Roberto !”

“We enjoyed Javier guiding us through Segovia so much! In our experience he’s one of the best tour guides. He knows so much history of Segovia. His English was excellent. We were having trouble gettin taxi to the train station. I text him to see if he can book us a taxi. Fortunately, he lives near by and he took us to the train station. He insisted not charging us. Thank you, Javier!!”
