Join us on a scenic private walking tour through the beautiful Castile and León region, immersing yourself in the enchanting city of Segovia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Segovia is just a 30-minute high-speed train ride from Madrid, and it's more than worth a visit. Our English-speaking guide will pick you up right in front of the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia. At this spot is where our walking tour in Segovia will begin. What a perfect location! You'll be amazed by its height and functionality.
You'll stroll through its medieval streets, crossing ancient gates of the wall, stopping at beautiful squares where you can discover uniquely decorated facades. Along the way, you'll see old Romanesque churches, and at a certain point, you'll find yourself inside the main square, where the beautiful Segovia Cathedral rises into the sky with its Gothic spires. We'll then proceed to reach the Alcazar of Segovia, an ancient fortress of Castilian kings overseeing the city's main entrances.
At the end of the guided tour, don't hesitate to ask the guide about the best restaurants in the city. Segovia is famous for its rich cuisine specializing in roasted lamb and suckling pig.
Segovia is a small fairytale city that leaves no one indifferent!
