★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 211 reviews · 5 - 11 hours · from $50Best value

Guided Segovia trip from Madrid with Roman aqueduct views, Alcazar fairytale vibes, Gothic cathedral, and free time to explore at your pace.

“We did the half-day trip to Segovia. Everything was convenient and comfortable, I will say that if you actually want to see Segovia, a half-day Trip is definitely not enough. it was a very large group so moving around took a little while. We ended up having to split from the group in order to try to see more things before the quick cut off time. I love doing these kinds of tours, but if you actually want to see Segovia you may consider a full day trip or just going there on a train .”

We learned about the political forces behind Madrid's art and architecture, and how powerful families and popular uprisings shaped the medieval and modern city. We also enjoyed churros in the historic center and a coffee at a quiet spot in La Latina, and got some inside tips on the best places to visit for a cocktail, people-watching, and other "off the beaten track" activities.”
