Itinerary
Meet your guide and begin your journey to Segovia
Arrival to Segovia - Walking tour initiating the cultural visit on Roman aqueduct. The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct. It is one of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and the foremost symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city's coat of arms.
Visit to Segovia’s Cathedral and External views from the Royal Alcazar. The Alcázar of Segovia (literally, "Segovia Fortress") is a medieval alcázar, 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. Enjoy free time to walk around, take photographs, go shopping, or visit the interior of the Alcázar.
Bus ride from Segovia to Avila
Walking tour inside the Fortress City of Avila. 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. It has complete and prominent medieval town walls, built in the Romanesque style.
Then we will make a stop to have lunch in a local restaurant in the old town, where we will enjoy a typical “Iberian Traditional Meal” ( if the upgrade option is selected ), or enjoy free time.
Bus ride from Avila to Toledo
Walking tour inside the neighborhoods of the old town and visit to Toledo's Cathedral from Inside (If upgrade option is selected). The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo (Spanish: Catedral Primada Santa María de Toledo) is a Roman Catholic church in Toledo, Spain. It is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from the Valley viewpoint

Great tour! Eduardo and Antonio were great guides and really went in depth about the histories of all the cities as well as the landmarks along the way. It was a full day but we were given plently of time to rest and explore. Antonio and Eduardo were very good at keeping all of us aware of what the plans were and keeping us punctual. Would recommend to anyone interested in some real Spanish history! (Also, shout out Rafa our business driver for a smooth ride!)
An excellent, well-organized tour from Madrid. Eduardo and Antonio were wonderful guides—knowledgeable, attentive, and great at keeping the group on schedule throughout the day. Seeing Segovia, Ávila, and Toledo together made for a memorable trip, and I’d certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Spain. As for included lunch(paid in addition), it was OK, not the best value for the money. We consider it more like supporting local business.
Huge thanks to Eduardo and Antonio, our guides in amazing trip through the three diamonds cities in Spain - Segovia, Avila and Toledo. Everything went smooth and was excellent organizing. I would recommend this trip for the short visit to Spain.
Eduardo and Antonio were both wonderful, energetic, knowledgeable guides, who truly made it a great experience. There's only so much you can see in one day split between three cities, and Eduardo and Antonio did a great job showing us as much as possible in a short time. My phone says we walked close to 6 miles, and it was very hot, but we don't feel exhausted. Highly recommend!
Our guides were Antonio and Roberto. Both spoke excellent english and Spanish. They made sure that we were all on time. The description of areas was very good. They took good care of all of the passengers. Although the bus was smooth and quiet, we found the seats to be small with little legroom. Also, since this is August I would think they should have a cooler of cold water for the guests.
Great tour to see all 3 cities in one day. Only thing I'd do different is not pay for the lunch. I'd rather have had something quick and walked around.
Great guides, Eduardo and Antonio. Recommend 100%
