Wonderful Day Exploring Medieval Towns in Spain.

After an initial miscommunication with GetYourGuide regarding the pick up time, the day trip went wonderfully well. Gaspar was an excellent guide with a wry sense of humor. He was very knowledgeable about each town we visited. and spoke in both Spanish and English to accommodate the various members of our group. The tour was nicely paced with some portions guided while also allowing free time to wander. There were only 7 people in our group - definitely a nice size for this kind of trip. My friend and I would definitely consider another day trip the next time we travel! It was well worth the fee we paid.
