Full description

Embark on a full-day guided tour to the UNESCO-listed cities of Segovia and Avila aboard an air-conditioned bus. Go inside the Alcazar of Segovia with entrance tickets and a guide. Marvel at Avila's cathedral and other emblematic monuments on a walking tour.

Experience Segovia, a city rich in historical monuments. See the magnificent Roman Aqueduct, built in the time of Emperor Augustus. Soak in its rich architectural heritage by following your guide to the Gothic-style Cathedral.

Finally, cross the Canonjías neighborhood until you come to the Alcazar of Segovia, one of the most spectacular fortresses in all of Spain. After admiring its exterior, step inside to discover its legends and glorious past.

Then, continue on to Avila and take a walking tour through one of Spain’s oldest cities. Marvel at its well-preserved, castle-like walls dating back to the 11th-century. Enter the old quarters, which house important Romanesque churches, Gothic palaces, and the city’s 12th-century Gothic cathedral.

Walk by the exterior of the Avila Cathedral, admire the Romanesque Basilica of San Vicente, and visit the central town square of Plaza Mayor. Take a short walk through the city’s old streets to the Convent of Saint Teresa.

The trip was very good. These were beautiful cities to visit. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Seemed a bit frustrated at times, but very good overall. We did have a group with a wheelchair and that was a little difficult to navigate, as the tour specified it was not wheelchair accessible. But they did fine, just moved a little slower.

The tour was great,Segovia was really nice ,I just wished the Avila tour was longer because I don’t feel like 30-40 minutes were enough to go around the city,even though is small, there is much more to see. Also the guy who was guiding us,not to shame or anything, but it was not good. I speak Spanish so I had no problem with it, but people who spoke English couldn’t completely understand what he was saying.

Bus had no AC (defect)and it was a bit uncomfortable for the afternoon drive from Segovia to Avila. Some passengers were 3/4 h late after lunch break and this impacted our time in Avila which was very short. Very disrespectful of the few individuals that held up the entire bus. If I would do this again and had the time, I would do a full day for both cities. There is much to do and see in each.
