Depart from Madrid

Your adventure begins bright and early, at the centrally located Plaza Las Ventas. Here, in the shadow of Madrid's famous bullring, you'll meet your guide and fellow travel companions for the day. Take a moment to soak up your surroundings, filled with statues of famous matadors and impressive Moorish architecture, before boarding the comfortable bus and settling in for the picturesque drive to Toledo. Thanks to the early morning quiet streets, Madrid’s sprawling city will quickly be replaced with expansive views of olive groves and rolling fields.

Explore Toledo

After about an hour on the road, you’ll arrive in the enchanting city of Toledo. Hop off the bus for a guided tour, which includes the majestic Cathedral of Toledo and expansive views from Mirador del Valle. That’s not all, though. You’ll also visit the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes and stroll across the picturesque Bridge of San Martin. Along the way, enjoy expert commentary from your guide, who’ll bring this storied city to life.

Visit Segovia

Back on the bus, your next destination is the captivating city of Segovia. Settle in for a two-hour drive, which promises superb views of the Castilian Plateau and quintessential Spanish villages. Then, once the rugged peaks of the Guadarrama mountains come into view, you know you’re getting close. Soon, you’ll be off the bus and embarking on another insightful city tour.

Starting at the imposing Aqueduct, you’ll learn about this ancient engineering marvel dating back to the Roman era in Spain. Spanning 9 miles (15 km) and featuring an astonishing 167 arches, it’s undoubtedly a sight to see. Next, follow your guide to the awe-inspiring Cathedral of Segovia, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture towering over the Plaza de Díaz Sanz.

You’ll also wander through the bustling Azoguejo Square, the vibrant heart of the city, before concluding your tour with a visit to the Alcázar, perched majestically on a cliff with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Return to Madrid

After a day filled with historical discoveries and architectural marvels, enjoy a relaxed transfer back to Madrid. You can look forward to arriving back in time to take advantage of the city’s vibrant nightlife or tuck into a delicious Spanish dinner.

Either way, your return to Plaza Las Ventas marks the end of a journey, but you’ll no doubt have a camera full of bucket-list-worthy moments to look back on. From exploring the historic grandeur of Toledo's ancient streets to marveling at Segovia's Roman Aqueduct and fairy-tale Alcázar, your day has been nothing short of remarkable!
