Tim was our guide on the tour, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was fun, kind, and genuinely funny, which made the long day feel easy and enjoyable. I really appreciated the energy he brought to the group and how welcoming he was with everyone.
We learned so much about the history and architecture of Segovia, especially the impressive Roman architecture and the stories behind the city’s landmarks. Both stops were beautiful and full of history, and the day was a wonderful way to experience places outside of Madrid.
I highly recommend this excursion, and if you can, ask for Tim. He will make the experience even better.

The car they took is in was too small. The time table was sos and so. Visiting Segovia was as amazing. Learning the history etc. Going to both Segovia and Avila was lot. 11 hour round trip.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding the vehicle, we do provide information in advance about the type of transportation used, so this is known from the beginning. While we understand it may not have met your personal expectations, it is consistent with what is advertised for our small group tours.
As for the schedule, the itinerary clearly states that this is a full-day experience of approximately 11 hours. Visiting both Segovia and Ávila in one day naturally involves a longer day, and this is communicated so guests can decide if it suits their preferences.
We are, however, very pleased to hear that you found Segovia amazing and enjoyed learning about its history—that is a key part of the experience we aim to deliver.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve wherever possible.

Tim is a great guide and a truly wonderful person. I really appreciated his charm and wit and the care that he took of our group. Both stops were magnificent and the lunch place had truly wonderful food. Though the day was long, this is a great excursion. Ask for Tim; he will not disappoint.

It was a very nice tour. The monuments that we saw where so worth going to see. Our tour guide, Andrias was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history on the two places we visited, Segovia & Avila. And the restaurant they took us to eat was fabulous.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience on my day trip to Segovia and Ávila! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, seamless, and enjoyable.
Our guide,Pablo was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history and culture of the region. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and helpful insights, making the experience so much more meaningful than just walking around on our own.
Segovia was stunning—the Roman aqueduct alone is breathtaking, and the charming streets and fairytale-like atmosphere made it unforgettable. Ávila was equally impressive, with its perfectly preserved medieval walls and peaceful, historic feel. I loved being able to explore two unique cities in one day without feeling rushed.
Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the timing at each stop felt just right. Our driver, Marco was friendly and safe. It was the perfect balance of guided structure and free time to explore, take photos, and soak everything in.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Spain who wants to see more beyond Madrid. It was truly one of the highlights of my trip!
Cody_M, Mar 2026
We took a tour to Segovia and it was absolutely beautiful. The town itself is charming and full of history, and the highlight was visiting Alcázar of Segovia, which was truly incredible.
Everything about the experience made it memorable, from the scenery to the atmosphere of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Spain and looking to explore beyond the main cities.
MELISSA_M, Mar 2026
Anders was excellent! The tour was felt personal, informative, and interactive. 10/10 would recommend
Vanessa_I, Mar 2026
Tour guide was amazing, he provided great historical facts and had answers to all questions. There's lots of walking! Very informative! I would skip the restaurant a d get something not so heavy. The suckling pork was over rated.
Deb_S, Mar 2026
Van was small for 7 plus guide and driver. 9 people crammed in a small van. The guide was okay but did not engage or provide commentary during the drive. It would have been good if there was deeper context and sharing Spanish information on the drive.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate your input, as it helps us continue improving our experiences.
Regarding the vehicle, the van used is the largest standard vehicle available in Europe designed to carry up to 8 passengers with a driver. We understand that space can feel limited when the vehicle is full, and we truly appreciate you sharing your perspective.
We also take note of your comments regarding the level of engagement and commentary during the drive. Feedback like yours is very valuable for us as we continue working to enhance the experience we provide to our guests.
Thank you again for your input and for joining the tour.

Excellent trip. A long day but quite interesting. Tour guide Andres was great. He explained everything and was very personable. This is a great excursion option.
erika_S, Feb 2026
Lovely day touring around the cities with such a knowledgeable and thoughtful host. Picturesque scenery accompanied by a lovely meal to satisfy our suckling pig craving.
Sandy_S, Jan 2026
Sorry to say that we missed our tour. They had to cancel because we were the only ones registered in the off season. They were great communicators to let us know what was possible. We will try again to visit during our next trip to Spain.
Katy_K, Jan 2026
Transport to locations is tight so you can't be shy. They are super accommodating. Great guide! very knowledgeable. Great Experience.
Elaine_M, Jan 2026
Well the small group was true, but we didn’t know was on his personal car, they intended to fit 6 grown big people in a small three row suv, one of the couples ended up saying they were not going and the rest of us four went and had a great time. I fell bad for them but they had other days to reschedule. The trip itself was so nice! Our guide was Andres, conversation was super nice we ended up having lunch all together in a restaurant he recommended and food was very good. We did a lot considering the time, this is a whole day trip, you get back at night. Highly recommend
Andrew_C, Dec 2025
I really enjoyed the trip from start to finish! We had a terrific guide that led us on this small group experience! Highlights for me were the aqueduct/palace/city wall!
Wilson_A, Dec 2025
Diversity of people and lenguajes and very friendly atmosphere with all of them. Recommended for families and friends
Denise_M, Dec 2025
We had a very enjoyable time and highly recommend this small group tour. Ines was an excellent tour guide. He was very personable and made everyone in our group feel welcome. He was very knowledgable and shared detailed information and history on the places we visited. He escorted us to a charming restaurant in Segovia for lunch. We were treated to a drink at the end of our visit in Avila. Ines thoughtfully left to get the van to pick us up while we enjoyed our drink recognizing that we were tired from walking. It was a long day but was at a comfortable pace and didn't feel rushed.

I was originally booked on the Segovia/Avila tour but due to insufficient number of guests I was booked into the Salamanca/Avila Day tour
Janeth_W, Nov 2025
Unfortunately, we were canceled the day before our tour because it did not make the minimum number. We two were the only ones that signed up for a small group tour. They a
offered an alternative, but it did not work for our schedule.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand your frustration. When the experience is booked, we inform all customers that there is a minimum requirement of 4 participants for the tour to run, and that there is always a possibility of cancellation if the minimum is not reached close to the tour date (including the day before).
In your case, as soon as we saw the tour was not reaching the minimum, we offered two alternative dates so you could still enjoy the experience. Unfortunately, we never received a response regarding those options, so we proceeded according to the policy explained at the time of booking. Your payment was promptly refunded as soon as the tour was canceled.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on one of our tours in the future.
Best regards,
The Crafted Team

We had an amazing time on the Segovia–Ávila small group tour! The entire experience felt personalized, adaptable, and incredibly flexible, making the day truly enjoyable from start to finish. Our tour guides were not only friendly but also exceptionally knowledgeable — their insights into the history, culture, and hidden stories of both cities added so much depth to the trip.
The small group format made everything feel more intimate and allowed us to explore at a comfortable pace. Whether it was adjusting the itinerary or answering our many questions, the guides went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great experience.
Overall, a truly memorable tour. Highly recommended!
Natalia_C, Nov 2025
Segovia and Avila were amazing, and the aqueduct is very impressive! We also enjoyed the food, it was a great experience.
Lourdes_N, Nov 2025
Our tour guide was spectacular. Andres made the trip excellent. Even though it was raining and cold he made it comfortable and enjoyable.
Mercy_V, Oct 2025
This small group tour was excellent! We had an absolutely wonderful time visiting Segovia and Avila. Our tour guide was Ines and she was great! She’s very pleasant and knowledgeable and we all loved her! I highly recommend this tour!
Donald_P, Oct 2025
Fantastic tour guide. Very informative and attentive. Very good tour. Transportation was the only negative. 5 additional people in a Dodge Journey was not very comfortable if seating in the back. Legs go numb crunched up back there.
Lesa_M, Oct 2025
Was a wonderful day! Our guide shared history and knowledge about the region, our stops and was a delight to spend the day with! This was a full day, but a great pace.
Gary_A, Oct 2025
It's a long day but well worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs throughout the day. The sightseeing was phenomenal with plenty of time for pictures and informative dialog.
Gerald_P, Oct 2025
Andres made sure the tour went at a good pace but with plenty of breaker for coke / coffee when needed. We did several tours while in Spain and this one was by far the best! We are so glad we did it on our last day Communication before and during tour with guide was excellent
Gerald_P, Oct 2025
Amazing tour. Andres was super accommodating and went above and beyond to customize the tour to our needs. Segovia is beautiful and charming city. Our guide Andres gave excellent review of history (not boring)
Michelle_B, Oct 2025
Our guide Andrés was wonderful! We were a group of 5 and he tailored the entire experience to our interests. I highly recommend this tour!!! Thank you, Andrés!!!
DEBRA_F, Sep 2025
