In ecological terms, train travel remains overall the most environmentally friendly mode of traveling.

After, you’ll visit the Alcázar, perched on a hill overlooking the city, its majestic castle that was once home to the kings of Castile. This fortress has a unique appearance with its turreted towers and is said to have inspired Walt Disney's Cinderella Castle. Explore the interior, including the various rooms, halls, and courtyards. Don't miss the Tower of Juan II, which offers panoramic views of Segovia.

Antonio was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and made the tour enjoyable for us and out teenage girls. The hike was fun and scenic.
This tour by far was my favorite while visiting Spain. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. Only suggestions for future visitors, where comfy shoes, bring water, and know you will be walking up a large amount of stairs in one part of the tour.
Antonio is an awesome guide and this is a must do if you visit the Madrid area. It was informative and a great cardio workout
