What people are saying about Community of Madrid

A great introductory tour of Toledo and Segovia. The host was entertaining and the tour was well timed. I wish we’d had more time in Toledo to look around but understand that we had to travel quite a distance.

Great tour, very knowledgable guides. Definitely makes for a long day, but very worth it. It’s a comfortable bus ride to each destination, with plenty of time to see things and learn.

Really efficient trip and a great way to cover a lot of ground in a short time. Thoroughly enjoyable and a good amount of time on the very comfortable bus to catch up on zzzz

We enjoyed our trip. The tourist guides are very accomodating . It is a very memorable experience for us. Highly recommended.

Great day to spend outside Madrid with great tour guides
