Itinerary
Pass by: The Sierra de Guadarrama is a mountain range forming the main eastern section of the Sistema Central, the system of mountain ranges along the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. It is located between the systems Sierra de Gredos in the province of Ávila, and Sierra de Ayllón in the province of Guadalajara
Pass by: The Walls of Ávila in central Spain, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of Ávila's principal historic feature. These fortifications are the most complete in all of Spain.
Pass by: The Cathedral of Ávila is a Catholic church in Ávila in the south of Old Castile, Spain. It is in the Romanesque and Gothic architectural traditions. It was planned as a cathedral-fortress, its apse being one of the turrets of the city walls
The Basilica de los Santos Hermanos Mártires, Vicente, Sabina y Cristeta, best known as Basilica de San Vicente, is a church in Ávila, Spain. It is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in the country.
The Iglesia-convento de Santa Teresa is a church and convent located in Ávila, Spain. It was built by the Order of Discalced Carmelites in the 17th century, supposedly on the site where Saint Teresa of Ávila was born
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct in Segovia, Spain. It is one of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts and the foremost symbol of Segovia, as evidenced by its presence on the city's coat of arms
Segovia Cathedral is the Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral located in the main square of the city of Segovia, in the community of Castile-Leon, Spain. The church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in a Gothic style in the mid-16th century.
The Alcázar of Segovia is a medieval alcázar located in the city of Segovia, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship

Traveler reviews
Lot of walking and history
This trip was really worth it. There’s a lot of history in both Segovia and Avila, along with some very interesting architecture. The tour does take all day, and there’s quite a bit of walking with some inclines. Honestly you could spend a whole day in each location so it did feel a little rushed. There’s only one real stop to pick up souvenirs in Segovia and you need to skip lunch for that. The tour included a free drink (Coke, wine, Fanta, etc.) and a snack (piece of bread with a small slice of tortilla de patatas). There’s not stop in Avila for souvenirs, except at the welcome center and they don’t have much to offer. Overall, it’s a really good tour, but wish we’d had some time to stop along the way.
Segovia and Avila trip
The experience was good in both places. The only thing that I would recommend to improve is to improve the connectors to hear the tour since the audio in mine fades sometimes. Furthermore, it would be good if 10 extra min are given in segovia to buy souvenirs after the restaurant
Great day out experiencing the history of Segovia and Avila.
Pleasant bus ride, great venues visited and very informative commentary by Nacho.
Good day
Knowledgeable guide in Nacho and good driver in Luis Michael. Well paced with breaks and interesting anecdotes to go with the main lectures which added to the experience. Good day overall.
Not a great tour
We were really looking forward to this trip but unfortunately our guide just didn’t deliver. It was the end of our three week trip in Spain and we’d had many tours, most wonderful…this one wasn’t. It wasn’t the guides fault that there was such a muck up with the headphones…but that detracted immediately and especially whilst at the Alcazar as we couldn’t hear him at all. The delivery of his content was hard to understand and not interesting…we could hear another tour group in English who had the local guide and that sounded great…..we wished we were on her tour. The remainder of the tour continued, with some people breaking away as they were dissatisfied as well. We were also taken to a restaurant for lunch that was AWFUL…I had thought we were having free time for lunch and it should have been properly explained that we could do this (some did) but we stayed and it was money and time wasted. I had hoped that with a guide I would have a better experience than going on my own, and whilst I did receive information, it was not the experience I had hoped for at all.
