About this tour
This five-hour private tour whisks you from Madrid to Segovia's UNESCO-listed medieval centre, where you'll explore the city's architectural treasures with a local guide. Walk past the towering Roman aqueduct—Spain's finest surviving engineering feat—then venture inside the soaring Cathedral and the fortress-like Alcázar castle. Hotel pickup and drop-off included, with admission and guided access to both major monuments.
Highlights
- Roman aqueduct: iconic engineering spanning 2,000 years
- Alcázar fortress: explore royal chambers and defensive architecture
- Cathedral interior: Gothic grandeur with original artworks
- Medieval streets: winding old town on foot with local context
- Private group tour: skip the crowds, set your own pace
- Radio guide system: hear commentary without shouting guides
What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Madrid hotel and drives you to Segovia (roughly 45 minutes). Once there, you'll walk through the compact old town, stopping at the aqueduct for photographs and history. The Cathedral tour is self-guided with audio support, allowing you to linger over Renaissance altarpieces and chapels. The Alcázar requires more climbing through rooms and ramparts; expect uneven medieval stonework underfoot. The pace is leisurely but involves substantial walking. You'll return to Madrid by early evening.
Good to know
Inform your hotel location 48 hours ahead for pickup arrangements. Wear comfortable shoes—cobblestones and stairs are unavoidable. Some sections of the old town aren't wheelchair-accessible. Prams are manageable on main routes but not through narrower alleys. Bring water and sun protection.
