⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Enchanted City was a highlight of our trip to Spain
Cuenca was lovely and The Enchanted City was one of the features of our excursion to Spain. I enthusiastically suggest that you take this visit in case you’re in Cuenca. We were particularly fortunate to have had Jorge as our guide for the Enchanted City as his English was superb and he was so learned and amped up for The Enchanted City and he made the visit so intriguing and fun! The main thing that I would recommend to the local area experts is that you change the lunch plan. We quit the lunch to eat all alone yet we were dropped off in Cuenca for lunch at 3 pm exactly at the time that everything was shutting. There were restricted alternatives to eat and all the stores in the city were shut during our spare time. It would’ve been more agreeable on the off chance that we had the option to utilize that opportunity to stroll around the city and shop and pick an eating choice. You may need to simply consider eating with the gathering in the event that you take this visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From Madrid: Segovia, Avila, and Toledo Three Cities Day Trip
“The visit was excellent and complete, we had an incredible day! Our guide Paula was extraordinary and dealt with the visit very well in the two dialects (English and Spanish). Our driver Enrique was likewise decent. Every one of the three towns were wonderful and we invest a decent measure of energy in each to see the primary spots. Lunch was likewise acceptable. I do suggest both the visit and the organization. My lone recommendation is have a bigger vehicle (more space, not more individuals) in light of the fact that the vehicle we had was pretty little for such a taxing day and the perceivability was restricted due to the tall seats and little windows”.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tour, difficult to find the guide at the beginning.
Entirely knowledgable and neighborly guide. I valued the little size of our visit (8 individuals altogether). Our guide took us through at an ideal movement and certainly knew the royal residence. Our lone objection was that the gathering spot was hard to track down and we experienced difficulty arriving at the visit organization to sort it out.
Madrid: Guided Visit to the Royal Palace reviewed by Shari
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Flamenco dance with average food
The show was reserved for 7.30 pm yet just food was served till 8.30 pm and once the show began, we were entranced. Each of the three artists were acceptable. Finale by male artist was zapping and he was for all intents and purposes doing perseverance move and was abundantly perspiring yet going solid. A clarification about melodies and move in English would assist travelers with valuing the subject of move and tunes better. I would prescribe this show to my companions and sightseers
Madrid: Flamenco Show at Tablao Las Carboneras reviewed by vinod
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Full day to see all the major sights
Loads of riding on the transport, however, we figured out how to have sufficient opportunity to appreciate the two urban areas. Incredible worth. Gallery/stronghold visit at Segovia is incorporated, yet not the church in Toledo, which may not merit the 10 euros to visit. The guide was brilliant Enough an ideal opportunity to visit, yet not for shopping.
