Private Tour to Avila and Segovia from Madrid

About this experience

The Private Tour to Ávila and Segovia from Madrid is an exclusive and personalised full-day private exploration of two of Old Castile's most historically significant and architecturally extraordinary medieval cities — experienced with a dedicated expert Amigo Tours guide for your group alone in a completely flexible itinerary. Ávila's UNESCO-listed medieval walls — 11th-century military engineering preserved in virtually complete condition across a circuit of over two and a half kilometres with 88 towers and nine monumental gates encircling the historic city in one of the most impressive surviving examples of medieval defensive architecture in the world — provide an opening encounter of immediate and powerful atmospheric impact.

Segovia provides a beautifully complementary second chapter of equal historical richness — the Roman aqueduct's 166 perfectly preserved granite arches spanning the city's historic centre in silent testimony to two millennia of engineering endurance, the cathedral's Gothic spires rising above the old city's warm stone buildings, and the Alcázar's romantic fairy-tale silhouette above the confluence of two rivers creating three of Spain's most immediately breathtaking and individually memorable architectural experiences within a single compact medieval city that the private format allows to be explored with the depth and unhurried engagement it fully deserves.
