Well planned. The team did a great job explaining the sites. Their language skills were excellent. It was a wonderful excursion and able to get out of the city (Madrid) to see some of the country side in a comfortable (well air conditioned) bus. Would highly recommend.

It’s a great deal to explore 2 beautiful cities in one day. We were torn between doing a 3 city tour with no free time or 2 cities with free time. I’m glad we went with the latter. Angie was very knowledgeable and friendly. She took the time to make sure everyone was together before leaving any area and she was super friendly. We enjoyed the whole day, definitely a great experience

Awesome experience. The tour was very organized and fun. The tour guide was great. I would recommend this tour.

Destination lovely - tour disappointing

Florence_S, Jul 2026

Disorganised trip from start to finish and some details about day misleading! Asked us to arrive at 8.30 to leave at 8.45 but this didn’t happen - people turned up late and we waited then a walk to pick up coach so at least 9.15 before departure! Segovia beautiful and good tour. Then stopped to swap buses to a smaller one on the excuse that it would get us to Toledo quicker, however air-con was very poor on a very hot day! Toledo started with a boring workshop stop which wasn’t advertised, just a selling activity and toilet stop but not what we wanted to experience and seemed to be at expense of the other listed activities in Toledo. A stop at the bridge and a brief walk through town to the cathedral does not constitute a 50 minute tour! Left for nearly two hours to do our own ‘thing’ without maps etc. Also had to carry backpacks etc around with us because there was yet another change of bus!! Returned to pick up point for the right time only to sit in blazing heat waiting for other people (not from original tour) who then never turned up! Finally despite tour being advertised as returning to start point - we were put on a service bus that took over half an hour to get us back to where we started !! Totally unsatisfactory. If you want tour in English I would say Alex spoke 66% of time in Spanish 33% English! In hindsight we should have looked at alternative options - Segovia really worth visiting, Toledo was a very limited experience and overall this tour was a very very disappointing experience.

Good tour

Nathan_H, Jun 2026

Very informative. Had a good time. Very well organized. Covered a lot in short amount of time. Enjoyed by all

Ramiro is the BEST Tour Guide

Israel_G, Jun 2026

The Segovia and Toledo tour is a must. You might as well buy the Alcaraz entry for Segovia. Well worth it. Ramiro the tour guide was awesome and genuinely caring.

Great day out

VERA_W, Jun 2026

The itinerary is excellent! Beautiful places, lots of history and culture. Comfortable shoes is a must and Segovia was much cooler than Madrid so need some extra layer but check the weather forecast. Don’t expect too much from the English speaking guides and you’ll have a fabulous time :)

Well planned. The team...

Karen_N, May 2026

Wonderful Tour

MayLariza_M, May 2026

Angie was very patient and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour tremendously. Segovia and Toledo are quite charming and beautiful cities to see and explore.

Toledo part of tour was disappointing.

M_G, May 2026

The Segovia part was fine. The Toledo part of this tour was completely disappointing. We were basically given some brief history, and the tour ended in front of the cathedral. We were not taken nor instructed about seeing the Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes or Puente de San Martín, the scenic bridge view. We did enjoy seeing the artisans making the swords. Considering the amount of money spent on this tour, I would not recommend unless charges are made.

Outstanding Tour Guide

Lisa_K, May 2026

Took this tour a year ago which d9es show why the tourguide continues to ask for reviews as we come back and forget but I am finally reviewing. Our tour guide was friendly, professiinal and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. The tour itself was filled with places to see and lots of wonderful photo opportunities and vies but not enough time to eat vs seeing things. I grabbed something in the go.

Would recommend

Merideth_B, May 2026

It’s a long day but worth it. It’s a great opportunity to make the most of your time in Madrid. We learned a lot and the views worth amazing.

davidyick, May 2026

the English tour become an English and Spanish tour. it was very difficult to catch the story because it was flip flop between the two languages.

Skip this one

FREDDA_L, Apr 2026

Visited Segovia and Toledo. Because the cities are relatively far from Madrid as well as from one another, we spent more time on the bus than we did in either place.

Excellent!

Lizaida_P, Apr 2026

Love it! Well organized. Excellent guides. Both Ramiro at Toledo and a Alvarado at Segovia were amazing. We took the tours in Spanish. The guides were knowledgeable and warm. Highly recommended, you will not regret it. The cities are rich, this tour provides a comfortable paced tour of the cities.

Ramiro was amazing, we...

Matthew_J, Apr 2026

Ramiro was amazing, we had such a good time! Gave us a great recommendation for lunch in Segovia, and made sure we had time to enjoy it. Thank you so much!!

Historic day out

Anthony_R, Mar 2026

It is a long day in the bus as there are a lot of miles to cover but it is well worth it. 2 great venues

Okay

Reggie_Y, Mar 2026

We visited Segovia and Toledo, and the destinations themselves were absolutely amazing—full of history, beautiful architecture, and stunning views. Both cities are definitely worth seeing. However, the tour experience could have been much better. It seemed like it was the guide’s first day, and while we understand everyone has to start somewhere, the delivery felt very robotic and hard to follow. It actually gave me a headache, and I ended up not using the headphones for most of the tour. By the time we reached the second destination, we decided to explore on our own, which honestly made the experience much more enjoyable. The stop at the sword factory felt like a tourist trap. We were expected to listen to sales pitches, but weren’t even allowed to use the restroom unless we stayed for the presentation, which was frustrating. To add to that, the bus was also late on the way back. Overall, Segovia and Toledo are incredible and worth visiting, but I would recommend either doing a self-guided trip or choosing a different tour for a better experience.

Not good experience

Jose_C, Mar 2026

Guide without paciente or emphaty for give us claire infirmations ; speak everytime confusion mind And directions

Diana_P, Mar 2026

Long day, worth the trip, very structured and fast to see both cities. Always greatful to experience the areas. And very nice to learn about the history of Spain. Thanks, Alejandro the guide for keeping up to speed.

A beautiful day in Segovia and Toledo

mariannadaddone, Mar 2026

This is a long day, but worth the time. Our guide, Romero, was knowledgeable and very helpful. We were able to see the highlights of Segovia and Toledo.

Terrible tour planning for Toledo tour

Yunhua_H, Feb 2026

Segovia tour was great. But Toledo portion is disaster. They gave us too much time in the town. They asked us to meet the bus stop at 7:10pm. But bus didn’t come until 7:25pm. Sunset is 7:00pm. If we got on bus at 6:30pm, we would have a fantastic sunset panoramic tour of beautiful Toledo. We missed the great view due to terrible planning by The Yellow Tour company. They don’t need 12 hours. This day tour just needs 11 hours at most if they plan well.

Angie. Tour guide

John_B, Feb 2026

Was interested in Toledo, but the stop in Segovia was the highlight of the trip. Driver's and ask the guides from Yellow Tours were great

Do it!

Julie_L, Jan 2026

We loved Segovia! Beautiful interesting city that had many historic sights to see. You could see the mountains on the drive to the city. Toledo was also very interesting to visit, well worth the day trip to both!

CONSOLACION_L, Dec 2025

Segovia and Toledo tour duration is perfect. Segovia aqueduct is amazing. It maybe hard for older people due to the long walk. Our guide Angy and Maria are very knowledgeable.

Segovia/Toledo highlights

Molly_M, Nov 2025

We had a wonderful full-day tour of Segovia and Toledo—long but absolutely worth it, even with the rainy weather. In Segovia, we had plenty of free time to explore the magnificent Aqueduct, wander the charming streets, and enjoy a delicious lunch at Il Bernardino, where we tried the local soup, cochinillo, dessert, and wine recommended by our guide. We loved learning about the history of the Aqueduct and visiting the Alcázar fortress, which was truly a must-see highlight of the day. In Toledo, although the rain was persistent, we forged ahead with umbrellas and still enjoyed our walking tour through the beautiful old city. We visited the Cathedral and even sampled the region’s famous Manchego cheese at a local bar recommended by our guide. Overall, a memorable and very enjoyable tour.
