Legends and Mysteries of Segovia Tour

As the sun begins to set in Segovia, its darkest and most unknown stories begin to surface around its streets and most picturesque places. Immerse yourself in the most mysterious side of the city, while you explore its main corners with an official tour guide in Spanish, with our Legends and Mysteries of Segovia Tour. We will meet at the Monument to Daoiz y Velarde, in front of the Alcazar of Segovia, which has witnessed countless stories about royalty throughout its centuries of history, some of them really cruel, such as the story of the prince and the aya. Near this place, we will observe how the old Church of the Vera Cruz rises, closely linked to the Templars and cradle of curses and paranormal phenomena. The enigmatic story of the Maiden Olalla awaits us as we walk through the neighborhood of Canonjías, just before moving to the town of Torredondo without leaving the Marqués del Arco street, to know the surprising legend about the origin of the hills that preside over the entrance to this Segovian village. We will advance towards the long-lived Puerta de San Andrés and discover why it is also known as Puerta del Socorro. Next to what was the entrance to the Jewish Quarter, we will also delve into the miraculous episode experienced by Marisaltos, a Sephardic neighbor of the city. We will go around the incredible Cathedral of Segovia until we reach the Plaza Mayor to reveal the tragic love story that hides behind the recumbent Christ that houses the main temple. The myths of Antonio Perez or the Cabellera de la Reina await us in squares such as Corpus Christi or Medina del Campo. As we continue walking, the exclusive facade of the Casa de los Picos will capture our attention and you can learn about the theories that circulate about the construction of this curious facade. Right next door, the ancient legend of the Dead Woman will surprise us while we enjoy an incredible postcard at the Mirador de la Canaleja. There is no better location to end our mysterious tour than the imposing Aqueduct of Segovia under the starlight. With thousands of years behind it, there are many fables that have it as a protagonist, but what relationship can this Roman construction have with the devil himself? Book your place and discover it for yourself!

Overall rating

Very good tour. The guides were very good at getting to know as much as possible in the short time available. The time available for lunch in Segovia was zero (it's the only great thing). But the city is so beautiful and getting to know the Alcazar didn't matter to us.

Managed to see beautiful Segovia and Toledo in a day great for people who wants to experience both

Both cities are very beautiful, but 3 hours is not enough for Toledo.

Everything was excellent, the tour guide Elena is excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sword thing could and should be skipped in my opinion.
