It is sometimes called the Town of Stones and Saints, and it claims that it is one of the towns with the highest number of Romanesque and Gothic churches per capita in Spain
The Walls of Ávila, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of Ávila's principal historic feature. These fortifications are the most complete in all of Spain.
One of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and the foremost symbol of Segovia
Segovia Cathedral is the Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral located in the main square of the city of Segovia. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in a Gothic style in the mid-16th century.
The Alcázar of Segovia is a medieval alcázar located in the city of Segovia, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then. It is currently used as a museum and a military archives building.

Avila and Segovia are two historic cities to visit. The guide Angie was very attentive and well-humored in the explanations and care with the group. Driver Rui drove with a safety bastant. I recommend the activity.
All according to the offer Excellent guide very predisposed to the queries that were asked. Recommended
Learned a lot about the history of Segovia and Avila! Enjoyed the walking tours and exploring the culture of the cities. Highly recommend!
That they use it will know and recreate a lot. The guide is patient, friendly and very knowledgeable. Es bilingüe.
Very well organized tour with very knowledgeable & smooth Guide. There was plenty of time to walk through the cities yourself. An entrance ticket for the visit to Segovia Castle is optional. Visiting this castle is an absolute must.
I enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide Julio was funny and explained us history of Spain and visited places in a very comprehensible way with some interesting bits. We had enough time to eat and visit the Segovia cathedral / castle or walk around the town. Not that much time in Ávila though but that is the risk of seeing two cities in one day. We had a bus with working AC (I attended this excursion in July and the heat outside was hardly bearable but the AC saved me). Thanks goes to our driver Joaquín, too. All in all, I am glad I was part of it and I recommend it for those who don't mean to get to know these places more deeply at a slower pace.
Very nice place and the guide Nacho very well, excellent explanation, everything in a timely manner. Highly highly recommended. It was easy for us to find the meeting place. The only observation was that the bus did not have audio to inform us about the tour.
Very disappointed travel to non-Spanish speaker. The tour guide just ignored us and basically she speaks 10 min. of Spanish v.s. 10 seconds English, some times even end with Spanish and move on. If English guide is not the option please don’t sell the product!

Marta was a delightful tour guide. This was a great tour but a long day but napped in between cities. I loved both cities so I’d recommend this tour. We did it on a Saturday so there were a lot of tourist in Sevilla, fewer in Avila so many shops were closed.
