Segovia visits a lot. But almost always wrong.

Large groups arrive by bus, take the picture of the Aqueduct and leave without understanding anything they have seen. We do the opposite.

Travel from Madrid by van — small group, close ambience — and tour the city with an official local guide who knows Segovia as few. No rush, no microphone, no forty people facing the same direction.

It'll stop where it's worth stopping. Count what's not on the posters. Go down through the Canonjías Quarter when the rest are still in the Plaza Mayor. View the Alcazar from angles that regular travelers never encounter.

And it does it in one day, leaving and returning from Madrid, with everything organized so that you only have to enjoy it.

Itinerary

Duration: 6 to 8 hours (approximately)
  • 1

    We are located in Atocha, the railway heart of Madrid. From here we leave by van for Segovia, with time to get to know each other and with the landscape of the Sierra Casellana as the first preview of the day.

    10 minutes • Admission ticket included
  • 2
    Acueduct of Segovia

    The first glance already justifies everything. Two thousand years of history sustained by dry stone, without sandpaper, defying time with an elegance that is still incomprehensible today. We tell its story, its function and the mysteries surrounding its construction before entering the city.

    30 minutes • Admission ticket included
  • 3

    The axis of the city since the Middle Ages. We walk this pedestrian street stopping at its palaces, Romanesque churches and historical corners, discovering why Segovians simply call it "the Royal Street" — as if there were no other.

    20 minutes • Admission ticket included
  • 4
    Plaza Mayor

    Segovia’s nerve center, flanked by the City Hall, the Teatro Juan Bravo and the imposing silhouette of the Cathedral. We stop here to breathe the atmosphere of the city and prepare to enter the latest Gothic temple in Spain.

    1 hour • Admission ticket included
  • 5
    Cattedrale Di Segovia

    Called "The Lady of Cathedrals", it was the last great Gothic cathedral built in Spain. We visit its exterior and, depending on the option chosen, also its interior — where time seems to have stopped in the 16th century. Your local guide will tell you stories that don't appear on the posters.

    1 hour • Admission ticket not included
  • 6
    Alcazar of Segovia

    The end of the tour and the most cinematic. This fortress, which served as a royal palace and military academy, is nestled on a promontory above the confluence of two rivers — an almost impossible position that makes it virtually impregnable. We visit its exterior and, depending on the option chosen, also the interior, where the history of Castile comes to life.

    20 minutes • Admission ticket not included
  • 7
    Madrid

    Return by van to Madrid, with time to share impressions and arrive rested. Segovia is not easily forgotten.

    1 hour • Admission ticket free
