About this tour
A private eight-hour excursion from Madrid to Segovia, Spain's standout medieval hilltop city. Your driver collects you from your hotel and ferries you through Castilian countryside to this UNESCO-listed gem. A local guide leads a three-hour exploration of the old town, taking in the remarkably intact Roman Aqueduct, the Gothic cathedral, and the Alcázar fortress—the castle that inspired Disney's Cinderella. Entry fees and transport are sorted; you explore at your own rhythm.
Highlights
- Two-millennia-old Roman Aqueduct, one of Europe's finest
- Gothic cathedral with intricate vaulting and stained glass
- Alcázar fortress: walk battlements, climb towers, admire interiors
- Medieval narrow lanes and aristocratic mansions
- Private vehicle and guide throughout the day
What to expect
After collection from your Madrid hotel, settle into the private car for a ninety-minute drive across farmland. Upon arrival, your guide meets you at the town entrance. The walking tour covers roughly three hours on foot, winding through cobbled streets and squares; wear comfortable shoes. You'll stop at the aqueduct (photo stops, no entry required), walk around the cathedral exterior and interior, then spend time exploring the Alcázar independently—there's no fixed itinerary inside, so linger where you wish. The guide remains available for questions. Expect moderate walking on uneven surfaces.
Good to know
Food and drink aren't included; grab lunch in one of the old town's restaurants before or after the tour. Infant seats available on request at booking. The route suits all fitness levels, though it involves hills and stairs. Minimum two people per booking. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if plans change.
