Those opting for the “on your own” experience can explore the city at their leisure. The guide will provide details on the meeting point and the exact time for the return to Madrid, allowing for a convenient and flexible schedule. This option includes entry to the Cathedral, enabling a self-guided visit during the stay in Segovia.
For those who selected “with Cathedral and Alcázar” or “with Alcázar,” the guided walking tour will commence at the magnificent Aqueduct of Segovia, a remarkable Roman engineering marvel that has stood for over 2,000 years. Participants will learn about its construction without cement and the path the water traveled to reach the city’s center.
- Casa de los Picos - The tour will then proceed to the Plaza Mayor, where visitors can enjoy the historic streets and notable landmarks such as the Casa de los Picos, adorned with 617 granite peaks, and the Plaza Medina del Campo, home to the Church of San Martín, built in 1117, and the Lozoya Tower, offering stunning views of Segovia.
- Catedral de Segovia - Upon reaching the Plaza Mayor, various impressive monuments await, including the Town Hall, the Juan Bravo Theatre, and the Cathedral of Segovia.

- Alcazar of Segovia - At the designated time, the group will reconvene at the Plaza Mayor to proceed to the Alcázar of Segovia, a renowned and well-preserved medieval castle. The Alcázar’s architecture likely evokes images of Disney castles, as it inspired designs for Walt Disney’s films, such as Cinderella’s Castle and the Queen’s Castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Great trip - Great trip where we could briefly explore the city and 2 of its main sights. We wished we could spend more time in Segovia but for a half-day tour it was perfect

Experience to know the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia. - Half day tour. I wanted to know the Aqueduct, objective accomplished. We also toured the Cathedral and the Alcazar. With Marcos’ guidance, his comments let us know the history of the three constructions and the visit was very entertaining. I would add half an hour free for each one to tour the historic center quiet.

Good value, Short time - First I must say for the price, this was good value…that is, getting a ride to Segovia from Madrid and seeing the castle, cathedral and aqueduct. BUT, pay no attention to “itinerary” printed, you will not spend near the amount of time described in Segovia. Drive time and walking time reduces tour time to about 2 hours total to experience all the sights. Also, tour guide EXTREMELY difficult to hear due to very cheap, crunchy, distorted audio from his microphone and the earphone receivers. Tour guide himself was very good, friendly and knowledgeable! Despite time, this was an excellent town and the sights amazing.

Lovely destination but a half day trip is too rushed. - The guide was bi-lingual but his English was fair. The speaker/radio/headphones were difficult to listen too due to static. The half day trip felt very rushed. There was a hold up in traffic which accounted for some of that but there was not much time to explore when we did arrive. A bottle of water when we returned to the bus would have been welcomed.
