Nice experience

Everything was very good, although since they are two such important places, you can only get a glimpse of both. If you have time, dedicate one day to each one. Mateo the guide, very good.

Excellent option for getaways to Medieval cities from Madrid

Julia Tours is always impeccable in punctuality, attention, and service. Our guide Mateo is a charming guy, very kind, and has great knowledge of the region's history. Without a doubt, I recommend it.

Segovia and Avila day trip

Big day but great to have a guide. We were the only English speaking in a big group of Spanish speaking but our guide tried hard to include us as much as possible and explain the majority whilst walking around.

Very good experience!

Mateo was an excellent guide, very attentive and with great historical knowledge. It was a very pleasant walk and although it was several hours, they flew by super fast. The organization and punctuality were very good.

A day in Segovia

I love visiting Segovia and its history, also because of the Alvia and its very clean city. Thanks to Mateo for everything.
