Full description
Leave Madrid and head to the beautiful Valley of the Fallen, declared a National Heritage Site. Tour the amazing location and discover Spain of the 20th century. Have the special chance to admire the largest Christian cross in the world.  Following, visit El Escorial, the most important architectural monument of the Spanish Renaissance, and learn about Spanish royalty. Immerse yourself in the historic atmosphere of the place before following your expert guide into the heart of Segovia. Visit the aqueduct and the areas of the convents, along the way listening to stories and legends that span back to the centuries before the Muslim conquest. Discover the most emblematic places of the city, its history, its hidden corners and anecdotes, and its main monuments such as Alcazar of Segovia or the Cathedral. Following this cultural pitstop, discover Spanish gastronomy, settling down at a traditional restaurant for a famous Cochinillo Segoviano (suckling pig).

Nice tour with Diego for the day. Valley of the Fallen basilica was a welcomed surprise. Recommended.

Diego made this a very special day!! We traveled in comfort and he provided insightful commentary. Each place we visited was more magnificent than the last Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Valley of the Fallen, the Escorial or Segovia.

Excursion intéressante et variée, cependant décevante au final. Si le déjeuner inclus est une valeur sûre, le rapport qualité prix n'est pas au rendez-vous. Il est dommage par exemple d'aller à l'Escorial et de ne pas visiter les intérieurs ou de ne pas inclure l'alcazar. Enfin, le parcours est effectué au pas de course, sans des moments de repos pour les photos ou les achats. Cette excursion de 10h s'est résumé à 9h avec un retour sur Madrid bien avant l'heure prévue.
