What to expect

Check in at our office in central Madrid 15 minutes in advance of your tour. Leave the city towards Ávila aboard one of our air-conditioned coaches.

Our first stop for the day will be at the city of Ávila, one of the best-preserved fortifications in Spain. Follow your guide on a walking tour of the Old Town to discover the impressive history of this city. See Romanesque style churches, Gothic palaces and a fortified cathedral of the Middle Ages. Visit the Walls of Ávila and the fortification, which have granted the city a World Heritage Site status by UNESCO.

We will continue the tour to Segovia. On arrival, we will divide in different groups. If you have chosen the option to visit Segovia at your own pace, you will have approximately three hours of free time. If you have chosen the option with monuments, you'll have approximately one hour of free time to have lunch on your own. The rest of the group will go to the restaurant to enjoy a lunch with roast suckling pig.

After lunch, those who have chosen the tour with monuments will meet again with the guide to start the tour in Segovia. Walk through the old Jewish quarter of the city, visit the outside of the Cathedral and walk towards the Alcazar of Segovia. Enjoy a guided tour inside the castle and marvel at this spectacular fortification. Did you know that its architecture inspired Walt Disney for one of his films?

If you have visited Segovia on your own, meet the rest of the group at the agreed time to return to Madrid.
