Itinerary
Meet your guide and begin your journey to Segovia
Arrival to Segovia - Walking tour initiating the cultural visit on Roman aqueduct. The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct. 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.
Visit to Segovia’s Cathedral and External views from the Royal Alcazar. The Alcázar of Segovia (literally, "Segovia Fortress") is a medieval alcázar, 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. Enjoy free time to walk around, take photographs, go shopping, or visit the interior of the Alcázar.
Bus ride from Segovia to Avila
Walking tour inside the Fortress City of Avila. It is sometimes called the Town of Stones and Saints, and it claims that it is one of the towns with the highest number of Romanesque and Gothic churches per capita in Spain. It has complete and prominent medieval town walls, built in the Romanesque style.
Then we will make a stop to have lunch in a local restaurant in the old town, where we will enjoy a typical “Iberian Traditional Meal” ( if the upgrade option is selected ), or enjoy free time.
Bus ride from Avila to Toledo
Walking tour inside the neighborhoods of the old town and visit to Toledo's Cathedral from Inside (If upgrade option is selected). The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo (Spanish: Catedral Primada Santa María de Toledo) is a Roman Catholic church in Toledo, Spain. It is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from the Valley viewpoint

Great tour thru Sagovia, Avila, and Toledo!
We had a nice experience across all three cities with clear guidance and lots of free time. Travels were smooth especially in spite of the summer heat.
This was one of the best day tours we’ve ever taken and an excellent way to experience three of Spain’s most beautiful and historic cities in a single day. Our guide, Cristina, was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the history of each destination and presented everything in a way that kept us engaged from start to finish. Her enthusiasm and storytelling brought each city to life. A special mention also goes to our driver, Juan Carlos, who made the journey smooth, safe and extremely comfortable. The coach was modern, spotless and had excellent air conditioning which was especially appreciated in Toledo where temperatures reached a scorching 44°C. The entire tour was exceptionally well organised, with just the right balance of guided commentary and free time to explore. If you only have a day and want to see Segovia, Ávila, and Toledo, this tour is outstanding value and highly recommended.
