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
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.
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
Excellent transportation, their guides need to improve.
The bus is comfortable. The signal receivers fail quite a bit and the guides do not provide a solution, their response left much to be desired. The guide Elena who led us in Segovia has a terrible attitude, she does not calculate the times well and does not give any recommendations about places or consider that people want to take some photographs to remember their journey. She simply walks to the side while trying to explain if the receiver allows it, otherwise you are left to imagine or fill in the gaps in the stories.
Best tour
This has been the best tour from Madrid ! We love it !!! Guides were great ! Laura and Federico !!! Highly recommended
Interesting excursion, especially in Segovia.
Wonderful excursion in Segovia, with Laura, a motivated and engaging guide. Disappointment in Ávila with guide Gloria, who did not allow us to hear her comments in the church because we bought the tickets at the box office.
Fun day in Segovia and Avila
Pick up was on time. Guides very organized and courteous. The ride was comfortable. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable, took his time to explain the historic sites in detail, encouraged questions. He is passionate about his country’s history. We enjoyed our trip thoroughly. We highly recommend the tour operator and especially David.
