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.

Very historic moment to see medieval towns. Influence by Celtic and then Romans, Muslims, Jews and Christians
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review.
One of the most fascinating aspects of visiting Segovia and Ávila is seeing how centuries of history have shaped these remarkable cities. From Roman engineering to the influences of different cultures and civilizations, every street and monument tells part of that story.
We're glad you found the experience memorable and enjoyed discovering these medieval treasures during your day trip from Madrid.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review.
We're glad you enjoyed the tour and all the incredible sights included along the way. Segovia and Ávila offer so much history, architecture, and beautiful scenery that it's hard to fit it all into just one day.
Your advice is spot on. Comfortable shoes, a camera, and a fan during the warmer months can definitely help make the experience even more enjoyable.

If you want to see Avila to see the Saints and to have 10 minutes to prayfully see their special places - don’t go.
It was a comfortable trip but our guide was hot and didn’t even take us to the parapets either. We took longer to get there than the time we spent there. Personally I was so disappointed.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Martha,
Thanks for joining our tour where for sure we spend more time in the cities than the time taken to get to both of them.
Our guides take you through the Segovia city walls and also show you the ones in Avila.
We take note of your comment with regards to the praying time, as happily many religious join and enjoy our tour everyday.
We apologize for not having met your expectations.
Kind regards,

it's a long day, but our guide Beatrice was very engaging and helpful throughout the tour. recommended, but we walked over 5 miles so be ready for that.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your full day visit to Ávila and Segovia with Beatriz.
These tours are certainly full and active days, but having an engaging and attentive guide can make the experience feel much more enjoyable and dynamic. We’re very happy to know that Beatriz helped keep the day interesting and comfortable throughout the journey.
And yes, the walking is definitely part of the adventure. The historic streets, viewpoints, and monuments are best discovered on foot, so comfortable shoes are always a great idea.
Thank you again for choosing to travel with us and for sharing your experience.

A very full day in two wonderful Spanish cities. Our tour was informative, travel was comfortable in a beautiful bus and our guide, Beatrice, was always looking out for us. Beatrice was professional, knowledgeable, kind and fun. The tour is long and requires a lot of walking. It was a great day and I highly recommend it.
Response from Host, May 2026

It’s especially nice to hear that Beatriz’s professionalism, kindness, and energy helped make the tour even more memorable for you.

Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Jevitha,
Thank you for your kind words.
It’s great to hear that your day to Segovia and Ávila ran smoothly from start to finish. On a full-day excursion like this, where there’s quite a bit of travel and coordination involved, having everything flow well really makes a difference.
We’re especially glad that Beatriz’s explanations helped you get the most out of both cities, and that Luis ensured a comfortable journey along the way.
Thank you for your recommendation, and we’re happy you enjoyed discovering two such historic places in one day.

Randy_W, May 2026
Our guide, Rafa, is a very professional, knowledgeable, humorous and organized guide. Your company is very lucky to have him. The trip was a lot of fun. I speak Spanish and know when he’s speaking to English speaking people on his tours, he doesn’t leave anything out. And, by the way, his English is excellent.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Randy,
Thank you for such a thoughtful and insightful review.
It’s especially valuable to hear your perspective, being able to appreciate both languages and the way Rafa communicates with different groups. Making sure nothing is lost between languages is something we truly care about, so your comment means a lot.
We’re delighted to know he made the day both enjoyable and well organized, that balance of professionalism and humor really makes a difference on a full-day tour like Segovia and Ávila.
Thank you again for your kind words.
Best,

Rebecca_D, Apr 2026
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour was one of the best tours my family has gone on, and we have gone on a lot of tours. Rafael was an amazing tour guide. Rafael has an infinite depth of knowledge regarding Spanish history and the history of the Catholic Church. His amicable nature and intelligence made the day feel shorter than 10 hours. He also gave adequate breaks and also allowed us to sit while he was speaking which made the walking less onerous. My nine year old enjoyed the tour so much he told his classmates about how good it was and how much he learned. Segovia and Avila are stunning cities and should not be rushed so 10 hours is a good length of time. The price was very good as well. I am excited to do another tour on our next adventure.
Valeri_B, Apr 2026
What a great experience. We paid the extra money to go into the sites. I would recommend if you have the time to spend the day touring.
Robert_P, Apr 2026
My wife and I recently took the walking tour -Madrid to Avila and Segovia, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. We cannot recommend this experience—and specifically this team—highly enough.
From start to finish, the day was seamless and incredibly engaging. Our guides were world-class:
Gloria (Avila): She brought the history of the city walls and the local culture to life with such passion. It was highly informative and kept us captivated the entire time.
Laura (Segovia): Her knowledge of the Roman Aqueduct and the Alcázar was exceptional. She made the history feel accessible and deeply interesting, pointing out details we never would have noticed on our own.
Luismi (Bus Driver): We felt incredibly safe in his hands. He was professional, punctual, and navigated the roads perfectly, allowing us to just sit back and enjoy the beautiful Spanish countryside.
The entire day was well-paced, educational, and genuinely fun. If you are looking for a tour that balances deep historical insight with a friendly, professional atmosphere, this is it. Highest possible rating!
Weronika_H, Mar 2026
It was a great trip. Sergovia was lovely. You need to buy a 20 Euro tockets for monuments with the guide. It is for the castle, Cathedral and a church.
The guide is quite knowlegable and egare to explain the history.
Jessica_P, Mar 2026
Great tour and knowledgeable in-depth overview of Segovia and Avila. Definitely learned a lot! Please note this tour moves QUICKLY. As in don’t get accidentally separated from your group to take a picture like I did, because Segovia in particular is crowded and it may be hard to find them again (took me 2 blocks and the help of a Good Samaritan lol)
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for choosing Fun&Tickets and for sharing your experience with us.
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative, especially discovering Segovia and Ávila in such depth. It’s great to know you learned a lot along the way!
As you mentioned, it’s a dynamic itinerary designed to cover both cities in one day, and your advice will definitely be helpful for future travelers. We’re glad everything turned out well in the end—and that you were able to reunite with the group!
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure, perhaps at a more relaxed pace.

The tour was rushed. Sadly, there was no free time in the beautiful Avila. It is mostly a monuments tour (if you pay to see the monuments); if not, you are on your own.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Mari,
We are happy to know that you found Avila being a beautiful city.
We take into account your comments to offer in the future a Full Day Avila Tour to provide our travelers with more free time in the city.
We apologize for not having fully met your expectations.
