The tour guide Khan is very hilarious and knowledgeable. His voice is loud and clear so we can hear his explanation clearly. The way he speaks is funny so we don’t feel bored. I like Toledo old town and Segovia Aqueduct. Thanks to Klook for the great day tour.

I really enjoyed having the whole day to explore Toledo. The tourist bracelet was good too, as it allowed me to see some churches (some were really more art or Roman ruins) that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. I definitely would have regretted paying a few euros for some of them. The cathedral wasn't included in my tour, but you have to see it - its spectacular! I also had time left over after seeing everything for some shopping. The only not great thing was a lot of different tours were thrown together on the bus and people were confused as to what they should be doing and where they should be going.

Highly recommend this itinerary! I think these two places are more beautiful than Toledo! I heard the suckling pig is too salty and dry, but I didn't try it! The weather was great that day! But since Avila is an old town, most of the shops are closed from 2-4 PM 😅. Maybe next time it would be better to schedule Avila for the morning, otherwise you'll be very hungry in the afternoon with nothing to eat.

Very informative tour which started on time and was expertly guided by Jorge alternating between Spanish and English. Instructions were clear and we had sufficient time to take in the scenic sights and well as take in the historical details while we visited different religious and artistic sights. Lunch time of about 1 hour and a half was great to allow time for a relaxed lunch and shopping! I enjoyed my experience tremendously and would recommend this encounter to everyone.

The overall arrangement was very appropriate, from the meeting point to the itinerary, everything was very suitable, and the time was sufficient. Leaving Segovia at 5:45 PM, it was already a very fulfilling day trip. At least it's much more convenient than going on your own.

Tips before visiting Madrid

Learn a few basic Spanish phrases

While many people in central Madrid understand some English, simple phrases like "hola," "gracias," and "¿dónde está…?" can make your trip easier and friendlier. Locals appreciate the effort, and it helps in smaller shops or markets.

Book major attractions early

Popular spots like the Royal Palace, Prado Museum, and Reina Sofía often sell out during busy seasons. Reserve your tickets online a few days ahead so you can skip long lines and choose the best time to visit.

Take a break during siesta hours

Some small stores and restaurants in Madrid close in the afternoon, usually between 2 and 5 PM. Use this time to rest at your hotel, enjoy a quiet walk in El Retiro Park, or grab a snack at places that stay open, like Mercado de San Miguel.

Use the metro to save time and money

The Madrid Metro is fast, cheap, and easy to use. Get a rechargeable transit card (Tarjeta Multi) when you arrive. It helps you move around the city quickly, especially during hot summers or busy weekends

Stay connected with a Spain eSIM

A Spain eSIM from Klook is a simple way to stay online without hunting for WiFi or buying a physical SIM. You can install it before you land, and it makes using maps, translation apps, and tickets super convenient
