Our driver Enrique safely transported us, while our guide, our docent, Jorge, performed admirably. His command of history in both English and Spanish was superb.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,052 reviews · 9 hours · from $48

Review of the $48 Madrid day trip to Ávila and Segovia, covering the medieval walls, Roman aqueduct, Alcázar, guides, pace, transport, and value.

“The tour was great, well organized and reasonably priced. It's the first time that we've seen a double-deck tour bus that big, new and fancy, and the driver Juandra was great. Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was very knowledgeable, bilingual, and funny. He provided a lot of interesting details about historical significance of the landmarks. The pace was a little fast for some seniors, and there were hills, but generally good pace for adults. The places we visited were inherently amazing: Segovia with the castle, aqueduct, and cathedral, and Ávila with the ancient walled city and cathedrals. They are well reserved and clean. We definitely recommend the tour.”
