Full description
Discover the charming towns of Ávila and Segovia on this guided excursion. Visit the birthplace of Santa Teresa de Jesus, and take a guided tour of Segovia's enchanting castle. Check in at our office in central Madrid 15 minutes in advance of your tour. Leave the city towards Ávila aboard one of our air-conditioned coaches. Our first stop for the day will be at the city of Ávila, one of the best-preserved fortifications in Spain. Follow your guide on a walking tour of the Old Town to discover the impressive history of this city. See Romanesque-style churches, Gothic palaces, and a fortified cathedral dating back to the Middle Ages. Visit the Walls of Ávila and and imagine the stories they have seen through the centuries. Marvel at the fortification and towers, which have granted the city a World Heritage Site status by UNESCO. We will continue the tour to Segovia. On arrival, we will divide in two groups. If you have chosen the option to visit Segovia at your own pace, you will have approximately three hours of free time. The rest of the group will go to the restaurant. Those who have chosen the gastronomic menu will enjoy a gastronomic lunch with roast suckling pig that will not leave you indifferent. People who have not chosen the gastronomic lunch will have a typical courtesy tapa and a drink. After lunch, those who have chosen the tour with monuments will meet again with the guide to start the tour in Segovia. Walk through the old Jewish quarter of the city, visit the outside of the Cathedral and walk towards the Alcazar of Segovia. Enjoy a guided tour inside the castle and marvel at this spectacular fortification. Did you know that its architecture inspired Walt Disney for one of his films? Can you tell us which one? If you have visited Segovia on your own, meet the rest of the group at the agreed time to return to Madrid.

Even though it was a rainy, windy and a very cold day, we had a wonderful time. Our guide Carlos K was really knowledgeable and made our tour very interesting. The fact that we had headphones to hear our guide was a plus as we could follow much more. It's a really good idea. Without taking credit from all the things we saw and visited, the alcazar was the highlight.

The tour and sights were wonderful. A built more time should be allowed to view churches we only walked past, ie Cathedral in Segovia and St Teresa Church in Avila. I signed up for an English tour and felt slighted as it was rather a bilingual tour with 75% Spanish and 25% difficult to understand English with strong Spanish accent, made worse with headsets that were terrible, too loud and full of static. Frustrating to listen always waiting for the English bits but missing many due to the string accent and mispronunciation if words. Guide was otherwise lovely.

The visit is dynamic, but at times it feels very fast-paced and one. You have to take photos very quickly or you end up moving away from the group if you want to take really nice photos. Perhaps the walk should be a little longer to be able to take good photos along the way beyond just the important points.
