About this tour
A 10-hour private excursion from Madrid visiting two of Spain's most significant medieval towns. Your own driver collects you from your hotel and takes you to Avila, where a local guide spends two hours revealing the fortress walls and layered history, then on to Segovia for another two hours exploring the Roman aqueduct, cathedral, and Alcázar palace. Transport, guides, and return to Madrid are included; time for lunch slots between cities.
Highlights
- Medieval walls of Avila, nearly intact from the 11th century
- Segovia's Roman aqueduct, 2,000 years old and still standing
- Alcázar palace with its fortress towers and royal rooms
- Private luxury car and driver for the full 10 hours
- Two separate 2-hour guided tours in each city
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
What to expect
After collection from your Madrid hotel, you'll drive roughly an hour to Avila. Your guide walks you through the walled town, pointing out churches, convents, and the intact medieval ramparts that define the skyline. You'll have free time to grab lunch before heading to Segovia, another 45 minutes away. Here, your second guide takes you through the heart of the city—the aqueduct dominates the main plaza, the cathedral sits nearby, and the Alcázar castle commands views from a hilltop. The full day involves comfortable car travel, structured guided segments, and breathing room to eat and wander.
Good to know
Minimum two people required per booking. Infant seats available on request. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves walking through both towns. Food and drinks are your own cost. Total time includes driving, so actual guided exploration is four hours across two locations.
