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

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 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!!

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Angie was amazing. She explained key details of historical landmarks very well. If you decide to book this excursion, I highly recommend you request Angie .
Rose_L, Jan 2026
It was accessible, knowledgeable guides, good value for money. We were well looked after by our guides.
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!
Christopher_P, Dec 2025
Angie, our English speaking guide was excellent. She answered our questions and provided details about the histories of the 2 cities visited.
Federico_A, Dec 2025
Nice place to visit with family and friends becauce you have the oportunity to lern about old culture
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.
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.
Samantha_M, Nov 2025
Amazing monument and History. The guides Alejandro and Angie were top and very friendly. Would definitely go again
Barbara_V, Nov 2025
It's a good way to see both places if you don't have much time. But these two places will make you want to stay in them for at least one night to see them fully and with time.
The guides are amazing: Alejandro y Álvaro en Segovia from The Yellow Tour or Big Bus. Very helpful, nice, knowledgeable, willing to help and inform. Amazing people. 100% Recommended!
Steven_M, Nov 2025
We had a great time learning about both cities! Ramiro was our guide in Segovia and Eros our guide in Toledo. Both were very knowledgeable and passionate about each respective city. My only suggestion would be factoring in a little more free time in each city as it felt rushed (this is me saying I wanted to shop more 🤣).
Dianne_G, Oct 2025
Large group travel on advertised air-conditioned bus but the bus was overly warm. Segovia was great but felt not enough time allowed there. Arancha (Maria) was the local guide here and she was excellent with good language skills. Toledo was also a great place to visit. I would recommend visiting the cathedral as it was spectacular. Ophelia was our overall guide for the day but she spoke rapidly and her English language was hard to understand. The return trip was delayed by 30 minutes as the bus was late. The new bus was very cramped and uncomfortable. I would recommend visiting Segovia and Toledo on separate trips.
Kevin_C, Oct 2025
There were plenty of beautiful views with an explantation of the history of each area, including the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian involvements.
KNE_L, Oct 2025
We didn't aspect such large crowd and the tour mixed with Spanish and English speaking crowd. Ended up they will have to explained in both the languages and as a result the explanations are so confusing. This tour is too rush, we never have enough time to take lunch or dinner and even taking pictures. Furtherance I personally think this tour duration is too long, it is from 9am to 8.30 pm. I remember they don't even allow one of the tourist to go restroom during the journey from Segovia to Toledo. Upon arrival at Toledo, we are only allowed to go restroom after visited and listened to the swords making factory.
Stacey_O, Oct 2025
Sara was an incredible guide. She was knowledge, patient and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It is a busy and long day and would have loved more time in Segovia. But if you're short on time, it's a great way to see both cities. My only wish is that we had of been able to travel back to Madrid on the same bus. The bus home from Toledo to Madrid was a bit cramped, as opposed to our double decker on the way there.
Maria_L, Oct 2025
Comprehensive & nice pace if you’d like to see two historic & beautiful cities in one day. Highly recommend entrance to Alcazar in Segovia~ amazing vistas & gorgeous architecture. The highlight of the day was probably the panoramic view of Toledo during sunset. The guide escorts you through the escalators/elavator allowing you to preserve your energy to see the churches, synagogues & stores of Toledo. Fabulous day trip from Madrid~ don’t miss out!
Nicole_M, Oct 2025
Our guide Mariana was very helpful.
She was kind and knowledgeable about Segovia and Toledo.
If you have limited time like us this trip is the best!👍
Patrizia_G, Sep 2025
Excellent and informative tour saw some amazing sites and tour guide Marianna was full of knowledge.
Maureen_H, Sep 2025
It can be difficult to find the bus or group or guide at the end of free time. There are so many other groups lining up.
Mehran_N, Sep 2025
I had the pleasure of joining a day trip to Segovia and Toledo, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The cities themselves are stunning, steeped in history and full of charm, but what made the experience outstanding was our guide, Ramiro.
From the very beginning, Ramiro’s dedication was clear. He kept us engaged throughout the journey, sharing an incredible depth of knowledge about both cities in a way that was never overwhelming, but always fascinating. He has a real talent for blending historical facts with passion and just the right touch of humour, which made the stories come alive and kept the group smiling from start to finish. His enthusiasm for the rich heritage of Segovia and Toledo was infectious, and it really elevated the entire trip.
Thanks to Ramiro’s insights, I found myself looking at the landmarks with fresh eyes, appreciating details I would have otherwise missed.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience that I’ll remember for a long time. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour, and especially Ramiro as a guide, to friends and family.
Amalia_G, Sep 2025
The tour was very organized and punctual. The guide was very knowledgeable. Both cities we’re definitely worth visiting.
