Middeleeuwse tour door Segovia en Toledo in een kleine groep vanuit Madrid
Beschrijving
Stel je voor dat je een dag op reis gaat met een klein groepje van maximaal acht reizigers, waarbij jullie samen op een ontspannen manier glimlachen, alsof jullie al jullie hele leven vrienden zijn, en waarbij jullie twee unieke pareltjes van Spanje ontdekken: Segovia en Toledo. In Segovia worden we begroet door de sprookjesachtige torens van het Alcazar, de majestueuze kathedraal, de echo's van eeuwen in de Joodse wijk en, als klap op de vuurpijl, het Romeinse aquaduct, dat al bijna 2000 jaar de geheimen van de stad bewaart. Hierna nemen we een pauze om te genieten van een traditionele lunch (iedere reiziger betaalt voor eigen consumptie), een moment om te genieten van de essentie van de Castiliaanse keuken. In de middag wachten we op Toledo, de legendarische stad van de drie culturen. De geplaveide straten zijn een reis naar het verleden, waar moslims, joden en christenen onuitwisbare sporen in de architectuur en legendes hebben achtergelaten. Het is meer dan een rondleiding: het is een authentieke ervaring, een reis terug in de tijd die u nooit zult vergeten. Want hier bent u niet zomaar een toerist, maar onderdeel van een kleine familie reizigers.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We verzamelen bij O'Donnell Gate met alle groepsleden. Vanaf daar beginnen we onze reis naar Segovia
Aankomst in Segovia - 10:30
We bezoeken het Alcázar van Segovia, een indrukwekkend middeleeuws fort en paleis, dat op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat en op een heuvel ligt ter bescherming van de ommuurde stad Segovia.
We bezoeken de kathedraal van Segovia, ook wel bekend als "De Dame onder de Kathedralen". We bewonderen de indrukwekkende gotische architectuur, kapellen en kloostergangen.
Wandeltocht: We maken een rondleiding door de wijken van de oude stad Segovia. We leren uitgebreid de geschiedenis van het best bewaarde Romeinse aquaduct ter wereld kennen en na het bezoek is er natuurlijk tijd voor de lunch.
Aankomst in Toledo - 16:45 uur
Bij aankomst in Toledo beginnen we onze ervaring met het adembenemende uitzicht vanaf het Mirador del Valle. Vanaf dit bevoorrechte uitkijkpunt kunnen we de majestueuze schoonheid van de stad bewonderen en haar oorsprong ontdekken aan de hand van de oudste archeologische vindplaatsen. We onderzoeken hoe Toledo zich door de eeuwen heen heeft ontwikkeld en hoe de stad zichtbare sporen heeft achtergelaten van de beschavingen die er hebben gewoond, van de Romeinen en Visigoten tot moslims, joden en christenen. Tijdreizen begint hier!
Wandeltocht door het historische centrum van Toledo: We duiken in het hart van Toledo, een stad waar elk steegje en elke steen eeuwenoude geschiedenis vertelt. We wandelen door het doolhof van middeleeuwse steegjes en ontdekken hoe de drie grote culturen – christelijk, islamitisch en joods – in harmonie naast elkaar leefden. Onze tour brengt ons naar de imposante Primada Cathedral, een gotisch juweel. We passeren charmante pleinen, eeuwenoude kloosters en straten die El Greco inspireerden. Bij elke stap ontrafelen we legendes, geheimen en verborgen details in de architectuur van deze werelderfgoedstad. Toledo is een openluchtmuseum. Samen gaan we het op een levendige en onvergetelijke manier verkennen.
Bij aankomst op het iconische Plaza de Zocodover sluiten we onze ervaring af op een gezellig lokaal terras. Hier, in het hart van de oude islamitische wijk, kunnen we ontspannen en genieten van een kopje koffie of een glas wijn, terwijl we de charme van deze historische plek in ons opnemen, die getuige is van eeuwenlange ontmoetingen en legendes. De perfecte afsluiting van een onvergetelijke onderdompeling in de magie van Toledo.
Vertrek naar Madrid. We laten ze achter op dezelfde plek waar we ze hebben opgehaald.

Noa’s storytelling brought both cities to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. She has a gift for weaving history, local color, and personal anecdotes together, so every stop felt layered and meaningful rather than recited. Whether we were standing beneath the aqueduct in Segovia or wandering the winding streets of Toledo, she knew exactly how to pace the day, what to point out, and when to just let us soak in the atmosphere. What stood out most was how genuinely cared for we felt the whole day. Noa was attentive to our energy and interests, charming and easygoing, and clearly passionate about what she does. It never felt transactional — it felt like spending the day with a friend who happened to know everything about Spanish history and culture.
First a problem, I hired a guide in Portuguese The day before the company called me saying that I would not have a guide in Portuguese They sent another who only spoke English and Spanish The guide worked hard, very attentive, but as always you buy more expensive in Aviator and you don't get what you buy

Gostaríamos apenas de esclarecer um ponto importante. Em nossa descrição e políticas da experiência informamos que a disponibilidade de guias em determinados idiomas depende da disponibilidade para a data escolhida. Além disso, antes da realização do tour, entramos em contato com você para informar que, excepcionalmente, não teríamos um guia disponível em português e consultamos se você concordaria em realizar a experiência em espanhol. Como recebemos sua confirmação, seguimos com a reserva conforme combinado.

Agradecemos novamente pelos seus comentários e esperamos ter a oportunidade de recebê-lo(a) novamente no futuro. Atenciosamente, Crafted Experience
Tim was our tour guide and he did an excellent job! He gave us lots of information but did not overwhelm us. He was very caring and patient will everyone in our group. I highly recommend this tour with Tim!
Our tour guide Tim was excellent!!! He had a lot of knowledge. He was very accommodating to our needs! I would highly recommend this tour!
A wonderful small group tour of Segovia and Toledo. Our tour guide and driver, Tim, was knowledgeable about Spain's history, geography and architecture, a safe driver, and most importantly, warm, funny and genuine. I joined solo, but met a lovely couple and family, which made the day even better. We (the 6 of us plus Tim) were in an air-conditioned minivan, which was spacious enough. Both Segovia and Toledo are gorgeous, though we spent more time in Segovia, where the aquaduct and castle were highlights. The day was jam packed, so there was no time for shopping and only quick stops to eat, but worth it considering the beautiful sites that awaited us. Most of the restroom breaks were at gas stations/small restaurants (bring kleenex in case of toilet paper shortage). A hat and comfortable shoes are a must since the sun was fierce and we walked a fair amount, sometimes on an incline. Water bottles were provided in the van. While not a leisurely day, the tour is highly recommended to see storybook Segovia and Toledo, learn a bit of Spanish history, and engage with a small number of like-minded travelers.
Tim was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was having a good time.
When making a concious decision to spend a little extra money on booking an experience, you truly expect a bit more. The only thing true about the tour is that it was six people, but we were crammed into an uncomfortable nightmare of small car and to top it off, with a tour guide that did not deliver at all in knowledge. I felt cheated out of my money.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our tours are intentionally designed for small groups of up to eight guests, depending on the vehicle assigned for the day, in order to provide a more personal and flexible experience than larger coach tours. All of our vehicles are fully licensed, insured, and comply with the applicable safety and transport regulations. That said, we understand that comfort is subjective, and we're sorry that you found the vehicle less spacious than you had anticipated. We're also disappointed to learn that you felt the guiding did not meet your expectations. All of our guides go through a structured training program and are selected for both their knowledge and their ability to create an engaging experience. While every guide has a different style, we take comments such as yours seriously and will review your feedback internally to ensure we continue delivering the high standards our guests expect. Our goal has always been to offer authentic, personalized experiences in small groups rather than traditional large-bus tours, and we're genuinely sorry that we didn't live up to your expectations. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention, as they help us continue improving the experience we provide to all of our guests. Kind regards, Crafted Experience
You guys cancelled my tour so I can’t tell you about the experience. No option was given other than to say we had our tour cancelled.
Thank you for your message. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your tour. In some cases, cancellations are necessary due to operational reasons or minimum group requirements not being met. When this happens, we always notify customers as early as possible and the available options are clearly provided at that time, such as rescheduling or a full refund. That said, we would also like to point out that leaving a review about the experience itself when the tour was not actually taken does not reflect the service provided during the activity. Reviews are most helpful when based on an actual experience, as they allow future customers to make informed decisions. We regret that we were not able to operate your tour on this occasion. Best regards, Team Crafted
It was a great day seeing both Segovia and Toledo. Very worth it! Our tour guide, Inis, was the best.
Wonderful experience with Pablo & Louis! Great speed with kids 10 & 12 years old.
