Toledo's Cultural History
Toledo is your first stop, and it’s a city with long-standing Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions to explore, which is why it’s often known as the city of three cultures. Your guide will take you to key places in the city that represent all three religious cultures, along with some hidden nooks that only locals frequent.
You’ll also enjoy a stop at Spain’s second-largest cathedral: the Gothic Primada Cathedral of Toledo. And as you leave the city, your guide will make sure you stop at a perfect viewing point for a gorgeous panoramic photo of Toledo.
Ancient Walls of Ávila
Your time in Ávila will satisfy your desire to be wowed by ancient technology blended with modern life. The 11th-century walls built to protect from Moorish invasions still surround the city with an imposing presence and will impress you with how remarkably preserved they are. Listen to your guide share stories about how important these walls were and are to this UNESCO World Heritage city.
After exploring the walls, you'll follow your guide on a walking tour of a few historic areas of the city before heading to a favorite restaurant for lunch. Located in the old town of Avila, this restaurant is the perfect place to taste jamón ibérico or Iberian ham, which is what these regions of Spain are known for.
Segovia's Alcazar and Aqueduct
After lunch, you'll hop back in your vehicle and head to Segovia—your last stop on this Madrid day trip. Enjoy stretching your legs with a stroll through the Plaza Mayor and follow your guide to the famous Roman aqueduct that still mesmerizes visitors (and engineers) today.
And a tour of Segovia wouldn't be complete without stopping at the majestic Alcazar, which is the royal palace and fortress of this historic city. You'll have free time to explore this area before regrouping for the drive back to Madrid.

Ross Hudson
Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. He provided all the information we ended to get the .ost out of the tour without overloading us with non-importantfa T's. Only problem was the lunch. We and several others did not appreciate iate the 3 course lunch which wS far from being typically Spanish. A much lighter, typically Spanishunch would have been more appreciated.
