What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Madrid hotel and drives you north toward Avila, where you'll spend roughly three hours exploring the walled old town on foot. The guide highlights convents, churches and narrow streets while you soak in the atmosphere. After a lunch break (your choice of restaurant), you'll head to Segovia, a further 45 minutes away. Spend three hours there discovering the aqueduct, cathedral and fortress. The pace suits all fitness levels—you're not racing between monuments, but genuinely seeing each place.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for cobbled streets and hills. Lunch is not included, though your guide can recommend local spots. Peak summer heat can be intense; spring or autumn are ideal. Groups capped at 7 people keep things intimate. Child car seats available free.
