Cecila gets all the credit here. She is the reason for the 5 stars. We have done about 4 of these kinds of tours this vacation but Cecila... read more made this tour special. Her knowledge was vast and she really cared about keeping the schedule and keeping the group together and organized in spite of the wandering tourists! She was like a mother hen! My only complaint was about the logistics of the tour, NOT Cecila's fault, she inherited the problem. Many of us were told we could add the cathedral and castle tour once we arrived in Segovia. Cecila had to sort it all out and then we had to scramble to pay the $26 Euro each in cash. Several people had large bills and needed to break them (Celia had no change), some needed to find an ATM. It was a banking holiday so that added to the "fun." Cecila sorted it all out but we lost time. It should not have been an option, it should have been required for all to attend so everyone was always together. Several families decided to not take the option due to the cost and so had to wait for us as we toured inside. Finding them after we finished always cost more time. On a tour, time is everything, every minute sorting out logistics or searching for the part of the the group who decided to not take the optional tours... Cecila gets all the credit here.
