“This is the best way to do see both cities. It is not worth it to do it ok your own. We were lucky to be on a coach/bus that was not full.

“I like the travel itinerary of Toledo and Segovia but the check-in of boarding the correct coach bus was confusing - 4 tours with multi-itinerary at the same meetup time slot. Nobody from Amigo tells me which queue to join even I asked one of the Amigo guide there and he just asked me to join the queue without checking the correct coach for me. The guide talked too much on the way to Toledo when we were supposed to take a nap and rest on the bus. The communication seemed one-sided instead of being interactive though he knew the history very well.”
