I loved it. I would recommend this tour operator to anyone traveling to Madrid. The guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable. You will love this old-world Spain experience.

Along with Toledo, Avila and Segovia is the other tour nobody should miss while visiting Madrid. The old town wall with its nine gates and 88 semicircular towers was a sight to be behold. Segovia's Roman aqueduct is without a doubt a marvel of Roman engineering and worth seeing. The Alcázar was the delight of our grandchildren. A must-do tour, well worth the price.

We had a great experience, the tour guide was great. Avila and Segovia are worth seeing. You'll need comfortable footwear because there's plenty of uphill walking.

This trip was wonderful. It's absolutely worth it! Make sure that you reserve for Segovian cuisine. Just the right amount of sightseeing for the day and you can still catch a dinner in Madrid.

Such a beautiful area. I saw places I have dreamed of seeing, which would have been difficult to get to if we had opted to rent a car. With Viator we learned the history of the area. Our guide was engaging and entertaining.

Tour guide informative and provided an interesting overview of the history. Visited the required places and had time to explore on own as well. Thank you.

This tour was really nice, but you had better be prepared to walk. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Also, the tour is in both Spanish and English. The tour guide was fantastic, but I was able to understand her more because I speak both languages. If you do not have basic knowledge of Spanish, this may be a little difficult.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that we were able to spend a fair amount of time in both cities.

The trip was good, but consisted of two walking tours of at least 2 and 3 kilometres respectively. While this is the only way to see both places, as an above-knee amputee I found it extremely hard and difficult to keep up with the tour guide. The fact that both were walking tours should have been explained in the description prior to booking.

This was a great trip. Avila was under a lot of construction, so there was not a lot to see there. Segovia is beautiful and charming. The Alcazar is great. My only suggestion is that the tour should start one hour earlier to allow some time for shopping and discovering more of Segovia. If you choose to have lunch, you really do not get to see much of the city due to the lack of time. Other than that, great tour and the tour guide was very pleasant and informative!

This is a nice tour; interesting and worth taking. The lunch is not good and not worth the price; get your own at one of the other restaurants.

Segovia was the highlight of the day. The aqueduct was impressive, there was adequate time for a relaxed lunch in the main plaza, and the architecture of the cathedral and the history associated with the castle were intriguing. The Avila excursion could have been improved by taking out one of the churches and providing more time to explore the walled city. There is a beautiful but fleeting view of it as the bus departs. It left me with the distinct feeling that I had missed a lot here. The bus was very comfortable and the guide was informative.

We enjoyed both cities. I wish there had been more time to stay in each city.
