This is a poorly planned tour. Most of the time was wasted on river walk instead of city/castle/catedral/foods exploration. This tour is not suitable for older people. The tour guide seems to rush to complete the tour. Not recommended.

Christina was great! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The walk around the river was so peaceful and the views were incredible. We got a great tour of the castle and had a few hours of free time to eat and look at the cathedral.

The Guide mentioned that this was her first tour of this kind. I believe she might’ve been a substitute. We had to run to catch the train in the morning. The guide did not know many facts about this tour. When we were supposed to meet in the afternoon. She was 15 minutes late. Then her boss did not give her the correct date for the tickets. My three daughters had to run to catch the train with only two minutes left. I’m just giving this feedback to help her in her growth. And to not let others have the same experience.

Cristina was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I enjoyed seeing the castle. We had a nice outdoor lunch. The walk along the river was beautiful.

Laura was a great tour guide who knew so much, and was happy to answer any questions. She showed us some great spots along Segovia and even gave us a restaurant recommendation during our break. Great tour!

Cheryl_H

Laura made this tour so much better with her knowledge of Segovia and the Alcazar. We got extremely lucky as this experience only had my partner and myself on this particular day, so we in essence got a private tour from Laura. I highly recommend this particular tour with the high-speed train and the route we took, culminating in the Alcazar visit.

Our family group of 4 adults had a fantastic day trip to Segovia from Madrid. Diego, our guide was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the fast train to Segovia. We saw all the sights and had plenty of free time. We would highly recommend this trip.

It was an amazing personalized experience. Great job touring us around. Comprehensive trip. Enjoyed a lot. Recommended

Excellent tour. Our guide Diego went out of his way to find us since we got disoriented and went to the wrong meeting place. The high speed train ride from Madrid to Segovia took less than half an hour and is the way to go. Diego is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and fluent in English. The Alcazar Castle is worth every penny and the scenery around Segovia is breathtaking. The hike down the river is a little bit challenging and is definitely not recommended for people with mobility issues. Highly recommended!

I can only say great things about this tour. First and foremost, our guide, Laura, was THE BEST. She was VERY knowledgeable and great to talk to, and wonderful to spend the day with. Taking a train to Segovia was a refreshing change from riding on a bus. This tour is also done in a small-group format and provides a lot of intimacy and one on one interaction, which adds greatly to the experience. While there was a fair amount of hiking, Laura took us through a route that only a local could possibly know. It was a very peaceful journey and I feel like I got to experience a part of Segovia that no tourist does. It included a private hike along a small river, an in-depth tour of the Alcazar, up-close visit to the Aqueduct, and some free time in the town. One of the best excursions I've ever had. 100% recommend.
