Beautiful views, rich history-toured with convenience - Bus left at 3:05pm and reached back around 7:45pm, so not bad in terms of punctuality. But if I hadn’t followed the people who were leaving I would have missed the tour, the reception guy didn’t tell me the guide was here & I’d still be waiting
The Bus ride was very comfortable, Silvia was very knowledgeable and gave useful details of the history and architecture etc all along the way. The tour is mainly of the alcazar castle and the Roman aqueduct (you can go on your own, in the 45 minutes remaining and shop if you like before heading back to the bus which left on time at 6:35pm)
While walking from the castle to the aqueduct we saw the gothic cathedral from the outside and stopped a minute for pictures and walked through it the Jewish quarter
Perfect for those who want a quick tour. If you want to tour in detail taking ur own take to see everything it is better to take the longer tour or tour by yourself. Very much worth the money!

Great option for half day tour from Madrid - Great tour providing just the right amount of information about the local sights. Very time efficient with sights so not a lot of time to spend wandering around the time at the end of the guided tour but that suited us. Tour guide was friendly and super helpful.

False advertising - I chose this trip specifically because it included entrance to the Alcázar in Segovia. We got there when it closed. Beatriz spent our time in Segovia in the Cathedral looking and explaining at everything. We were late getting to Segovia because of rush hour traffic. She could easily have shortened the Cathedral tour. She did not apologize for arriving late to the Alcázar and blamed it on traffic.
The bus did not take the tour to see the Alcázar from the famous views from outside below. She did not explain that this was the original Walt Disney castle that many know.

Unsatisfactory tour - The guide knew a lot about the place, it's a shame that the little device they gave us to listen to what the guide was saying didn't have good sound, you could hardly hear it and the range of that device was almost zero, if you weren't close to the guide you couldn't hear it. . Furthermore, the tour was too fast, we did it almost running and they didn't leave us free time to even buy something to drink or even think about a souvenir.

Worst tour we have ever had in Europe - Left 30 min late, broken seats on. Bus, radios did not work to hear tour guide, Never took any walking ir bathroom breaks, walked too fast , did not keep track of all participantnts , no care of older people in tour , never given her name or phone number for contact if needed. Tour should have a map of where tour was starting and ending : was to be English, only half was : no control of those on tour

Very bad experience in our planned vacations... - We had a terrible experience with Viator and Madrid VPT tours specifically with the tour guide Cristina. We started taking a bus in Madrid that had already passengers coming from Toledo for a two city tour. In the bus Cristina, the tour guide, mention that some of those passengers tickets didn't include the Castle, Alcazar, visit. Her bad organization cause that 6 of the passengers weren't able to go inside the Alcazar even though we paid in advance. That means that 6 other passengers without having the right to get into the castle got in. She didn't validate the names and tickets with her list. The worst part was that Cristina had no 2nd plan. She didn't offer help nor walked to the ticket office for new ones. We told her about writing a bad review and She answered that She didn't care. The bottom line is that we came from another country and spent a lot of money to go to Segovia. Viator only and wrongfully gave us a reimbursement of 36 dollars instead of give all the cost of the activity.

Terrible organization, big waste of time - This is for sure not a fault of the driver or the tour guide but the company VPT. We were told to arrive around 2:45 for 3pm tour. We were there even before and there was nobody to tell us where to go, which bus to take. Somebody finally told us stay here, and few more people were added to our tour. After 3pm they put us on a bus to sit and wait without any explanation till 4pm. What a waste of time. Finally we started complaining that we have booked restaurants at night and that we will be late plus they are wasting our precious time. We were very upset. This tour is made that they combine a big number of different tours, and they have to wait for the tours that are late. Do not waste your time with this company, find another option for sure.
