Excellent Guide and Story Teller! - Alexia is an amazing guide! We loved her knowledge and passion for the rich history of Salamanca and the university. She has the gift of telling a good story, kept us engaged with interesting info, and was able to answer any questions we had. This is the second tour we have done with Alexia (we also took her fantastic Street Art Tour) and if we were there longer we would have signed up for her other tours.
