What to expect
You'll be collected from your Madrid location and driven to Ávila, where a local guide walks you through the old quarter hitting key religious and civic landmarks—the cathedral, convent, and baptismal church connected to Santa Teresa's life. The Four Posts stop gives you breathing room and prime photo angles across the walled town. After an hour's drive to Segovia, you'll have leisure time for lunch (your cost) near the Plaza Mayor and Cathedral precinct, then explore the town's two defining monuments: the soaring Roman aqueduct and the dramatic hilltop Alcázar castle. The return to Madrid follows.
Good to know
Cathedrals and the Alcázar are ticketed separately and not included. Wear comfortable walking shoes for both towns' cobbled streets. Prams and infant car seats available on request. This tour suits all fitness levels but involves moderate walking through historic centres.
