Highlights
- Alcazar of Segovia - one of the most famous and well-preserved medieval castles in the world. The Alcazar probably reminds you of some Disney castles, as its exterior architecture served as inspiration for some of Walt Disney’s films, such as Cinderella’s Castle or the Queen’s Castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
- Cathedral of Segovia - After the visit to the Alcazar, we will walk up to the Plaza Mayor, where we will find different monuments that will impress us, such as the Town Hall, the Juan Bravo Theatre and the Cathedral of Segovia, where we will have a complete guided tour of its interior. At the end of the visit to the Cathedral you will have some free time to enjoy Segovia at your leisure.
- Casa de los Picos - whose façade has 617 granite peaks
- Aqueduct of Segovia - We will finish the guided tour at the Aqueduct, one of the oldest monuments in Spain. With more than 16 kilometers long, it was built over 2.000 years ago. During the visit we will discover how it was built, in which no cement was used, as well as the route that the water took to reach Segovia.

Afternoon Segovia - Highly recommended tour for those who want to spend an afternoon in Segovia discovering its history. Kate's explanations, which led us between the rooms of the Alcazar, inside the cathedral and along the aqueduct, were timely and thorough. Five stars deserved!

All right - Good Guide, good pace and good explanations. We had never visited Segovia and we liked it very much. At least the day we came there was a quiet and non-agitating atmosphere despite the heat.

Average...too rushed - I thought it was English only guide but it was bilingual. Also she was too soft spoken, at times you barely can hear her. They should make it 5 hour tour instead of 4 hours to allow people to take few selfie along the tour.
Location - Alcazar and Cathedral were great. But after having seen so many in Italy, France and UK, did not find any more exciting but may be still good for first timers.
