Fantastic way to explore two of central Spain's beautiful and historic cities, especially if you're pressed for time. We did the option without monuments, so had more time to explore by ourselves and loved it!

Full description

Discover the historic sites and monuments in Avila and Segovia on a guided day trip from Madrid. Admire the exterior of the Ávila Walls and see the Roman Aqueduct. Begin in downtown Madrid and travel to the cities of Avila and Segovia by coach.

See the exterior of the Ávila Walls that surround the city that was completed in just 10 years, between the 11th and 14th centuries. Then, visit the outside of the Basilica of San Vicente known as The Basilica of the Holy Brothers Martyrs, Vicente, Sabina, and Cristeta.

Pass through the Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral to reach the Church-convent of Santa Teresa and explore the outside of the church. Once the visit to Ávila is finished, enjoy free time to have a wine, a soft drink, and an aperitif and to have lunch or continue visiting the city. 

Go to the city of Segovia and visit the Roman Aqueduct, which is the highest and best-preserved. Pass through the Casa de los Picos, Plaza de Juan Bravo, and Plaza Mayor where you'll find the Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption and of San Frutos.

Finish at El Alcázar de Segovia, a medieval fortress, located on a rocky crag on the confluence of two rivers near the Sierra de Guadarrama, it is one of the most distinctive castles-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape, like the prow of a ship.

Me & my partner booked this tour last minute as City of Madrid was extremely busy. So pleased we did! Coach was a double decker, very comfortable (sit on the right hand side for best views) Tour guides were helpful with setting up the radios given so we could hear all the information clearing while walking around. Ávila was beautiful and when reaching the restaurant we were greeted with any drink ( soft drink, beer, wine) & tapas which was Spanish quiche which was included in the tour. Anything ordered outside this you had to pay but was reasonably priced! Segovia - just stunning! Very informative took us to the key places very picturesque! Would recommend this tour to anyone who is in Madrid.
