We joined a full-day tour to Avila and Segovia. I'm from Japan and I've joined this kind of bus tours in some cities in the both, the US and Europe. For those of you who come from the States, I understand this Julia Tours' way of services is not good. Because I always had a great time when I joined... More

We took this tour to Avila and Segovia because it was the quickest way to get there and spend time enjoying the sights. As my husband was the only Spanish speaker we thought taking an English tour would be best. The day began promptly at 8:45 AM at the Julia Tour office. We decided at the last minute to buy... More

Great tour. Really enjoyed the tour and big part of this is to thank the tour guide Arturo, the explanations were offered in Spanish and English, and because I speak both I could realize he did a fantastic job. Very entertaining on top of the beautiful arquitecture and art that we saw. Segovia was way more than I expected, we... More

I booked this tour on Viator and was hesitant after reading the previous negative reviews, but the tour was actually quite good. The tour was well organized and the guide (Teresa) was entertaining and informative. I was glad I booked the tour without meals, so I had lunch on my own and had some extra time to walk around. The... More

I was somewhat concerned after reading all the negative comments. Was considering train but really wanted to see Avila and Segovia in one day. The only negative was that we were delayed leaving Madrid and that they did not have any public restrooms in office. Also, as someone else pointed out, if you have problems walking it may be hard...

Today, four of us went on a half day tour of El Escorial. Isabel was our tour guide. Her English was poor but that would have been okay if it weren't for her rotten attitude. After waking up early and making an effort to arrive 15 min before the tour began as suggested, we were forced to wait 35 minutes... More

I had rung three time to confirm pick up arrangements in Malaga - the Madrid office telling me I had to ring the Malaga office for this information. I was advised by the Malaga office that the pick up point would be from the Bus Stop next to the Barclay Bank opposite the Shopping Centre - in Avenida de Andalucia.... More

Firste off all the tour guide didnt intruduce herself to us, so I dont know her name but she was being very unfriendly and not being helpfull at all. We were being rushed around like it was a schooltrip and everything she said was from a notebook. It was a very impersonal tour. We also had to walk for hours... More

Initially we wanted to do a full day tour and unfortunately Julia Travel was the only company we could find to fulfil the date and time we wanted. When we got to the office we were told they didn't offer the day tour at all. Since the Madrid tourist information office only gave us a choice of two companies (the... More

We thought that a nice an easy way to see Toledo was taking the half day tour that was advertised at our hotel. We were wrong. This company is a "take the money and run" operation. Our guide was uninterested and half of the time was spent listening to the tour in Spanish. If you want to visit Toledo I... More
