Javier was an excellent tour guide. He met us at our hotel and was very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Salamanca and the University. This tour made us wish we had more time to explore Salamanca.

We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

The La Ruta de Don Frederico experience will, at a minimum, introduce you to young wine makers, pre-phylloxera 100 year plus vines, castle hotels, local innovators, family bodegas, and gastronomical delights. Frederick and Maria Jose will understand your preferences including food choices, knowledge of Castille-Leon, budget, energy level,/health, Spanish language skills, wine knowledge, and prior Spanish travel experiences. They are incredibly timely, responsive, and thoughtful. In our case, we had been in Portugal for two weeks before meeting with Frederick. He picked us up at the Madrid airport and eased us into a precise tour of Segovia. We opted to delve deep into the wines of the area and started with a local restaurant and four local wines. Frederick has a deep understanding of the Segovia architecture, politics, art, food, and local personalities. Later that evening we were introduced to the owner of a historic 15th century hotel in Topas. Our room was spectacular. We were treated to a solo tour of a Renaissance palace, the surrounding grounds, and a wine tasting of seven local wineries and a four-course meal. Early the next morning, we set off for Fariza, Mamoles, Formariz, Fermoselle, and Villar del Buey. We met talented wine makers/spouses, chefs, and families that have deep roots in the area stretching back many generations. All throughout the trip, Frederick took videos and photos capturing the magic. The third day we had a comprehensive tour of Salamanca. This Salamanca wasn’t the standard day tour bus tour you’d get from a Madrid operator. We were with locals/docents eating, drinking, and mingling with friendly folks. We purchased wines and spirits we cannot find in the United States and Frederick is helping us identify a distributor that can arrange for us to purchase some of Spain’s most amazing wines. The lodging and of the beaten track visits were lovely. We left Frederick and Maria with a detailed plan of our fourth day in Madrid. Frederick arranged for us to stay in an apartment/hotel and directed to traditional and non traditional sites to visit and eat at. He put together a twenty plus page writeup for the Madrid last leg. If we had a week in Madrid, we would have been set with his insights. Frederick was a former corporate executive who has a voracious appetite for life. If he lived in our area, he’d be a good friend. Maria is charming and a joy to be with. We enjoyed being with the trail blazers who Frederick and Maria Jose introduced us to in the Castille-Leon area. In the near future, we will be coming back, with friends, for a more extended tour of the area.

We spent 3 days in Valladolid last week on a trip by train through Spain. The only reason we came to this city was because the AVE train stops here. Looking for tourist attractions to book was tough, and it turns out thats because there isn't many international tourists ! I took a chance to book this cycle tour 2 months in advance, as the reviews on TA are really old, and I wasn't sure whether the tour was still operating. Javier responded immediately, and arranged to collect us from our hotel for the tour, and pay when we met. He arrived as arranged, and took us to the park close to the railway station, where there is a booth advertising cycle rides with Itinerate. We were kitted out with cycles which were more than adequate, as the terrain was luckily very flat. Javier's sister Rebecca also accompanied us, and was keen to practise her English skills. We gently cycled around the city and Javier explained all the key points. There were a number of cycle lanes in the newer sections of the town, and so we felt perfectly safe. We found that Valladolid was once the capital of Spain ..... for about 6 years ! The town therefore has many historic buildings and a very nice affluent feel to it. We were very impressed with the city, which seemed much more 'spanish' than many we've visited, and also with the fact that there were so few tourists there. Everyone was so friendly. I would thoroughly recommend Valladolid as worth a visit, and taking the tour with Javier who loves his home town, certainly allows you to get the best out of the city. Thank you Javier & Rebecca !

The guidance we received hasn’t been able to recreate the history of the city and its monuments; it was just a hop on hop off interspersed with small anecdotes and commentaries surpassing the limits of the tour.
