Madrid Day trips

Join the Toledo and Segovia tour, which includes admission tickets to the Alcazar and Segovia Cathedral. It also features an optional traditional Spanish roast suckling pig lunch (can be added later) and a stop to visit the city of Avila. Departure is at 07:30 AM. The tour guide, JJ, was extremely informative and provided very substantive commentary. Upon arriving in Toledo, the bus stops for panoramic photos before heading into the city for a walking tour. Because we had to mind the schedule, it felt a bit rushed. We stopped at a souvenir shop to watch a craftsman demonstration (no pressure to buy) and use the restroom. After that, we headed to Segovia to see the aqueduct, followed by lunch around 2:00 PM. (If visiting on a weekday, I think you could skip the meal-inclusive option and easily dine at regular restaurant prices instead.) Next, we visited the Segovia Cathedral and then the Alcazar. Finally, we stopped to see Avila, starting with a panoramic viewpoint as usual, followed by a city walk. The guide provided great information the entire time, which was wonderful. Once finished, we returned to Madrid around 8:30 PM. It was a truly worthwhile day that covered all the highlights. However, I recommend keeping in mind that this tour involves a lot of walking. Some areas are sloped or have uneven surfaces, so you should wear shoes and clothing suitable for extensive walking. Since the tour moves at a fairly fast pace, elderly travelers with limited mobility may want to reconsider.

A must-see landmark in Madrid. While it’s a quick visit, the atmosphere, history, and welcoming people make it memorable.

our tour guide Laura was very knowledgeable. she took pains to explain all the sights in Ávila and Segovia to us. lovely trip and highly recommended!

Julia was wonderful , she explained every detail and make sure everyone was in a group before proceeding to another room

The palace itself was beautiful. The tour was insightful as well! Hassle-free and efficient.

I joined the full-day tour to Segovia, which allowed plenty of time to explore at a leisurely pace. Everyone else was on the afternoon trip to Toledo 😎; I was the only one in the whole group staying in Segovia the entire day. The tour guide did mention that the half-day option is quite rushed. I just had the mindset that I will probably never visit a second time in my life, so I wanted to slowly take in every little corner. I found it very relaxing and comfortable.

the tour guide is very good. Taking care of the joiners n providing good information of spots

The morning check‑in was very comfortable. While other tours were registering outside, Big Bus had a proper office with seating and restrooms, which made the start of the day much smoother. The coach was large, clean, and extremely comfortable for just 11 guests, and the driving was careful throughout. Danny was truly exceptional—warm, friendly, and full of engaging explanations at every stop. His guidance made the entire day feel safe, relaxed, and far more enjoyable than anything I could have experienced on my own. Thanks to him and our driver, the tour was meaningful, smooth, and wonderfully organized. I also loved the tour design, which allowed us to explore key sites with Danny and then enjoy the town on our own afterward. Thank you for a fantastic experience. ガイド：Danny

Sylvia and Jorge Serrano from Julia’s tour company were very knowledgeable and engaging. They made the tour fun even with the rain.
