What to expect
After collection from your Madrid hotel, you'll drive north through central Spain for roughly 90 minutes. Upon arrival in Segovia's historic centre, your guide meets you to begin the three-hour tour. The Roman aqueduct dominates the skyline—walk beneath its 167 arches and learn how Romans built without mortar. The Alcázar castle rewards the climb with panoramic vistas. Your guide can adapt the route: focus on medieval churches, sample local specialities (at your own cost), or spend longer in quieter plazas. The return journey to Madrid takes the same route.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes; Segovia's old town is steep and cobbled. The aqueduct and castle entrances involve steps. Book minimum two people. Food and drinks aren't included—budget accordingly for lunch or café stops. Public transport alternatives exist if you prefer independence.
