MelodeJo_S, Jul 2026

First Class Tour To Toledo

From the time Javier picked us up at our hotel and drop us back in that afternoon, we were treated with to a VIP experience. Our Toledo tour guide, Ville, is a native - she was great! This ancient mid evil town is breathtaking. Villa was a wealth of knowledge about the merging of the three religions & cultures (Jewish/islamic/catholic) that built this historic town. The buildings, churches and cobblestone streets are a testament to the resilience of man. The main catholic cathedral was by far the best example of gothic architecture in Europe. If you are in Madrid, don’t miss this half day VIP experience.

Great tour to explore Toledo and Segovia!

I feel the tour was well organized. Yes, not enough time to walk around in Toledo and maybe in Segovia. But you should go there on your own if you want more time to explore. I feel it was good value for money and time to get a feel of old cities outside of Madrid. I recommend it !

An amazing day trip with...

An amazing day trip with Ismael. He gave us lots of information and it was a fun day. Lots of wine and appetizers at all three wineries. Sandra at Val Azul was really nice and welcoming too. I highly recommend this tour. It was a small group so it was very personalized.

A Day Trip to Three Cities

This is a guided trip to cities of Segovia, Avila, and Toledo. If you are visiting Madrid and want to see it's neighboring cities from Spain's provinces without the hassle of driving, this is a relaxing way to do it. You will see the three cities and their historical importance in a twelve hours time. You may feel a bit rushed but it worked for us because the main attractions of our Spain trip were in Madrid and Seville. This was a bonus for us and an excelllent use of our day.

Toledo, Sevilla and Avila

Reading Spain history is one thing, but to see the Cathedrals, locations, and artifacts makes history come alive. Topping off the day by winning the World Cup was new history being made. Our guides were excellent. A special shout out to Vanessa, who went out of her way to make my wife comfortable and offered options for her to continue.

Perfect Day Trip from Madrid!

This trip was the perfect balance of having structured tours with our guide / group and having free time. Our guide, Rachel, gave excellent bi-lingual tours (Spanish/English) of both towns and answered questions along the way. Our tour included the Alcazar in Segovia which we highly recommend.

Segovia and Avila- Two Great Cities

Maria gave a great tour to Segovia and Avila. They provided a bus for thr 1.5 hour drive. One of the nicest buses ever. AC worked great. Bottled water provided for 1 euro from bus driver. Both cities were very interesting. Be prepared for a lot of walking. I probably did 16000 steps. Many hills and old stone pavement.

Wonderful day!

This was a beautiful experience! In that I will say, be advised that it is a long day (10 hours) and there are many hills and stairs to climb. We were lucky to go on a day that the heat wave was calmer and it was a bit cloudy, which helped a lot. Had it not been cloudy, it would’ve been a bit harder to beat the heat. Toledo was beautiful and had lots of sights to see and Segovia was also breathtaking. Our guide, Samuel, was great at explaining things and it was awesome to hear the history in Spanish (we choose Spanish). Note: the tour guides are very flexible and give plenty of options for allowing you free time. We chose the lunch option and it was an okay experience. It was convenient due to the quick service but the food was just fine/okay. It was cool that it was inside the military museum. Overall, fantastic tour! Lots of beautiful sights, lots of waking, lots of learning. 10/10!

Lovely day trip from Madrid!

Great day trip from Madrid! Lovely and interesting cities: Ávila and Segovia. Tour was well scheduled and a good pace. A fair amount of walking but it is not difficult walking and there are “on your own” times. Beatriz was an excellent English speaking guide. Definitely recommend.

Tour is a must in Madrid

Or group guide Jesus, was fantastic. The history provided to us was better than an audioguide. My local friends were surprised at how much history I learned. Plus he showed us the entrance to the cathedral so I could return later. Im 50/50 on guided, but this one I would recommend.
