“I enjoyed the tour and wished we started earlier to spend more time in Segovia and Ávila. The 11 am start time is a little late since it’s 90 minutes drive. You get about 30 minutes each in the Alcázar and the Wall. I did want more time in the Alcázar to read the placards since our guide didn’t go in with us to explain. You only need 15 minutes in the wall so we spent time looking at nearby shops. The hour lunch break in Segovia was great to try local dishes. I wish we had more time to explore Avila or arrived when more shops were open or…”

“The history was so interesting and the scenery was so beautiful! Great to be able to pick up the tour in Madrid. It was a long day but a memorable one. Our guide Sergi was so friendly and was able to give us so much insight into the people and places. Our kids 10 and 5 did great but it was a long day for them and we probably could have brought more snacks lol. We already look at the photos and can’t get over how cool it was to see the beautiful rivers and structures was.”
