Madrid Day trips

I am so happy I booked this guided tour. Gabby did a great job leading the large group, gave great directions and is a great story teller- very funny as well. The views in Segovia and Toledo were great and I would’ve skipped Avila for a longer time especially in Segovia. Beautiful sights and a comfortable bus ride as well. Thank you!

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

I did this tour on my 1st day on Madrid and it was a good way to spend the morning. I appreciated that we were able to skip the long line and the explanation given by our guide Elena was very good. Great way to see the highlights of a very big and historic place.

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!

It would have been great if you had provided a map or tips on paper for those who are not familiar with English or Spanish, and for those who want to make the most of their free time in the area. The area was beautiful.

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

guide was great in explaining all the historical facts and backgrounds of the art

Alejandro was very helpful throughout the entire trip. At the meeting point on Gran Vía, he gave clear instructions on where to wait, making everything easy from the start. Even though he had to repeat information several times, he remained patient and professional. During the bus ride, he shared interesting facts about the places we visited and even showed us news articles on his phone, which was a thoughtful extra effort, especially on a Sunday. The trip from Madrid to Segovia was well-guided—he showed us the aqueduct, the Alcázar, and other picturesque spots while sharing useful details about the city. He also recommended good restaurants and suggested visiting a free museum, which was a great tip. Alejandro was polite, respectful, and attentive to the group, making sure everyone was comfortable and informed, including giving time for restroom breaks. Overall, he did an excellent job, and I would gladly join another tour with him in the future.

The guide seemed a bit grumpy, answering questions in a very abrupt and annoyed manner.
