What To Expect

Avila

Avila is the highest provincial capital in Spain (1,131 metres altitude), and is around 100 Km from Madrid, to the northwest. The old city retains the typical layout of Roman cities; however the undisputed symbol of the city is the medieval wall. This open and walled city is a World Heritage site, and its cultural and historical richness makes it a special place to enjoy its streets and squares.

Segovia

Not too far from Avila, around 80 Km to the northwest, we arrive in Segovia. The old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct are also World Heritage sites. In the old city there are many historic civil and military buildings, of both Christian and Jewish construction. And outside the old city is a delightful castle, almost a fairy tale palace, on top of a rock: the Alcázar. Something to be tried and remembered is the Segovian cuisine, which is very well-known outside its boundaries, not only in Spain but also internationally. Dishes such as ‘judiones’ (broad-beans), roast pork and roast lamb are its famous specialities. With regard to good restaurants, two of the ones recommended by the Michelin Guide are the ‘Mesón de Cándido’ and the ‘Duque Restaurant’.

Great private tour with very flexible accommodations

Must see historical cities in Spain and a private tour provides great flexibility. Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations of the sites and the history. She was flexible to accommodate our pace (my partner requires a cane for mobility) and the tour operator even agreed to drop us off near Segovia for our next adventure instead of requiring us to return to Madrid. Really great and I highly recommend this if you want to avoid the crowds of tours or need customization.
Amazing tour!

This is an absolutely fantastic tour! A 10 out of 10! Our guide was amazing! Both cities are a must see! Our guide was knowledgable about both cities and the Church of St Teresa of Avila is a must. The Roman aqueduct in Segovia is amazing and not to be missed. Truly an amazing day! Highly recommend.
Unforgettable

A wonderful private tour to Avila and Segovia! Our driver, Pavlo, was early and waiting for us, which was so refreshing (our other tours we had to call once the guides were late) Our tour guide, Mati, was so friendly and knowledgeable and on time as well :) She was always taking our pictures of us enjoying our time. In Segovia, we ate at a wonderful restaurant right next to the aqueduct where she knew the owner. We got wonderful service and even a little gift. It was a wonderful day!!
