Private Tour
Avila and Segovia private day trip with hotel pick up!
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
This is not just a transfer between monuments — it’s a private journey through two of Spain’s most iconic World Heritage cities, guided by a friendly host who makes history easy, light, and memorable.
Discover Segovia, with its legendary Roman aqueduct and fairy-tale Alcázar, and Ávila, the walled city of Saint Teresa, walking through cobbled streets that feel unchanged for centuries.
Unlike group tours, you’ll travel at your own pace in a private vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off. Your host stays with you throughout the day, sharing local stories, legends, and insider tips — like the best photo spots or where to try Segovia’s famous roast suckling pig.
While you visit monuments on your own, your host uses that time to optimize logistics, repositioning the vehicle so you enjoy more sightseeing and less waiting.
This tour is designed for travelers who want comfort, flexibility, and an authentic connection with Spanish culture — not just sightseeing, but truly experiencing it.

5.00We had a great private tour experience with Andres visiting the beautiful historic cities of Segovia and Ávila. He was waiting for us at our hotel on time, had a new van with moon roof for panoramic view, was very knowledgeable of the areas talking about many interesting facts/highlights, and made for a great whole day tour. Well worth the money spent vs a group tour.

5.00We went on several private tours on our travels through Spain. This was hands down the best and the credit goes to our guide Andres. He is very knowledgeable and provides excellent commentary on the history of the areas visited. On top of that, he is flexible in getting the experiences you are interested in and is never rushed. This tour firm is 10 of 10. Don’t book anywhere else.

5.00Our group of four used the private services of "Tours From Madrid" exclusively during our five day visit to Madrid. The tour of Avila and Segovia they provided was perfect! Our tour guide Andres was very knowledgeable of the city's historical sites and accommodating to our needs. A tour of Avila and Segovia is a "must do" during your visit and we highly recommend "Tours From Madrid". They are the best!

5.00This was wonderful. Andres our tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew all of the good spots to see. He was flexible and accommodated our needs. He was an excellent balance between hosting us and guiding us on our tour. I would recommend him to anyone and the private tour allows you to ask questions and to explore something unique that you may see along your journey.

Great Tour - Worth the Money

5.00Andres our guide was waiting for us at our hotel in the morning. Very clean newer vehicle which was very comfortable. He knows a lot about Madrid the surrounding areas and where we were going. Felt like we were touring with a very knowledgeable friend he was easy to talk to with and added great value. Not a cheap tour but well worth the money. Felt like we received a thoughtful tour and got to know these two amazing cities. Had considered another tour that also went to Toledo in one day. Glad we didn’t as this was a long day just seeing the two cities. Would have been too much. Would highly recommend this tour and Andres as a guide.

5.00Andres was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed the sites and historical perspectives of both Segovia & Avila. The transportation was comfortable and clean. We would have preferred a more charming lunch option. (Perhaps a list of restaurants to peruse ahead of time).

5.00A private full day guide is not inexpensive, but Andres made it worth every penny! Andres had great local knowledge of Segovia & Avila, told interesting stories, and made getting to/from the important sites very efficient & easy. Most importantly, Andres is really nice person.
We had an excellent time!...
