Description

Discover the medieval heart of Spain on an exclusive private day trip to Ávila and Segovia from Madrid. Travel in comfort with a high-end private vehicle and enjoy the personalized attention of a local expert guide as you explore two UNESCO World Heritage Sites at your own pace. Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Madrid. Relax as you head northwest into the Castilian countryside, where sweeping plains and historic towns create a landscape rich in history. Your guide will introduce the background of the region during the drive, setting the scene for the day ahead. Your first destination is Ávila, famously known as the 'City of Stones and Saints.' This remarkable city boasts one of the best-preserved medieval walls in Europe, stretching over 2.5 kilometers and punctuated by 88 semicircular towers. Explore the stunning Ávila Cathedral, a unique combination of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, and stroll through the old town's cobbled streets. As you walk, your guide will share stories of Saint Teresa of Ávila and the noble families who shaped the city's history. You’ll also have the chance to admire Renaissance palaces and traditional Castilian squares. After Ávila, continue to Segovia, a city where Roman ingenuity and medieval grandeur come together. Your visit begins at the astonishing Roman aqueduct, one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in Spain, with 167 arches standing without mortar for nearly two thousand years. Segovia’s charming old town invites you to wander through lively plazas, narrow alleys, and traditional shops. Highlights include the Gothic Segovia Cathedral, often called the 'Lady of Cathedrals,' and the Alcázar of Segovia, a fairy-tale castle perched dramatically above the confluence of two rivers. Its turrets and spires are said to have inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle. You’ll have free time for a leisurely lunch, with personalized recommendations from your guide depending on your tastes. It's the perfect opportunity to try Segovia’s culinary specialty — cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig) — or other regional dishes in a traditional restaurant. Throughout the day, enjoy the flexibility and comfort of a private tour. Whether you prefer a deep historical dive, a focus on photography, or a relaxed exploration of the streets and hidden corners, your guide will tailor the experience to your preferences and pace. After a full day of discovery, your driver will return you safely and comfortably to your accommodation in Madrid, ensuring a smooth and relaxed end to your journey. Experience the rich history, stunning architecture, and cultural charm of two of Spain’s most iconic cities, with the personal touch that only a private tour can offer.
