Overview

We will start the tour leaving Madrid on the way to Salamanca. Once there, you will have the opportunity to discover its patrimonial legacy with its innumerable corners and details. We will start in the center of the city. The tour includes the history and curiosities of the University of Salamanca, which was of great importance in the history of Spain. We will also visit the Cathedral. We will finish in the surroundings of the Plaza Mayor, where you will have time to taste its fantastic gastronomy and savor its iconic `tapas´. Then, we will leave for Ávila. Once in the quintessential medieval city, the tour will begin with a view of the wall, and we will pass by the San Vicente Sanctuary and the Cathedral. We will learn about the history of this unique city as we stroll through ancient alleyways and admire impressive Romanesque churches.

Itinerary

  • Salamanca (Pass By)

    Your first stop will be Salamanca, whose history dates back to Celtic times, very well-known for its ornate sandstone architecture. It was founded in the 12th century and was a key intellectual center in the 15th and 16th centuries. Here, our guide will guide you through the city's most important sites, learning about their history and architectonic characteristics.

  • Plaza Mayor (Pass By)

    The front of the plaza, showing the clock tower in the background and social gatherings in the front. Is a large plaza located in the center of Salamanca, used as a public square. It was built in the traditional Spanish baroque style and is a popular gathering area. Our guide will explain us here about the history on this square.

  • Universidad de Salamanca (Pass By)

Great 1 day tour of many historical sites.

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great experience visiting many Avila and Salamanca sites in 1 day. The tour guide was very attentive. The bus coach was comfy and not crowded.

Ávila and Salamanca

Published on Dec, 2024

The trip was excellent. Ignacio our tour guide was very nice and Nuria the driver very good. They made our time pleasant.

Worth the time and money

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour went beyond expectation. Ignacio was very knowledgeable. It was going very well until the rain cut the tour short. I would do the tour again in the future.

Fabulous Salamanca & Avila

Published on Oct, 2024

This was an excellent excursion from start to finish. Our guide was enthusiastic and delivered the content, bilingually,without hesitation. This also alternated from place to place as well. It was definitely a highlight excursion and the beauty was the right amount of free time we had. Lunch stops and toilet breaks included. As mentioned, the guide would have done this tour on numerous occasions but her enthusiasm did not wane. The coach was extremely comfortable with a safe driver. One of the best tours I have experienced and I have done many over the years.

Fun and knowledgeable!
