Check in at our office in central Madrid 15 minutes in advance of your tour. Leave the city towards Segovia aboard one of our air-conditioned coaches. Our first stop will be in the city of Segovia. Upon arrival, we will be divided into different groups. If you have chosen “Full day Tour on your own”, you will enjoy approximately three hours of free time to visit the city on your own. If you have chosen the “Guided tour with monuments”, you will have access to the Alcázar of Segovia, where you will enjoy a guided tour while you marvel at its spectacular fortification. Did you know that its architecture inspired Walt Disney for one of his films? Can you tell us which one?
Walk through the old Jewish quarter of the city and visit the exterior of the Cathedral. Those who have the gastronomic lunch included will head to the restaurant; to enjoy a typical local menu with roast suckling pig that will not leave you indifferent.
After visiting Segovia, we will continue our tour to Avila, one of the best-preserved fortified cities in Spain. If you have chosen the option “Full day Tour on your own” you will enjoy the city at your own pace. This option includes admission to the city walls, so you can visit them on your own during your stay.
The rest of the group will follow the guide on a guided tour of the old town to discover the city's impressive history. See Romanesque churches, Gothic palaces and a fortified cathedral from the middle Ages. Visit the walls of Avila as you imagine the stories they have seen through the centuries. Marvel at the fortification and towers, declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our guide Mariana made it a great experience. She is bilingual and accommodated both English and Spanish guests. She provided a lot of information about both spots and made sure we had time for bathroom breaks, lunch, and souvenirs.
Maria was very knowledgeable. She was also really funny. If you are okay with walking and going up quite a bit of stairs this tour is for you. We also did the lunch combo, soup and dessert was tasty. You get their delicacy dish suckling pig.
We had a fantastic day visiting Segovia and Avila! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, she spoke both Spanish and English and did a fantastic job! Check in at Jula Travel was easy, and had clean restrooms before taking off right at the scheduled departure time. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned, and everyone in my group of six enjoyed everything about the day!
Everything was very pleasant and we saw what was necessary to understand the history of these places, I don't regret buying it at all.
