Segovia City of Kings - From Madrid with car - Private Tour

We first used Pepe as a guide 8 years ago and were just as pleased now as we were then. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and as we drove to Segovia he gave us an excellent overview of what we would be seeing. He expertly answered any questions we had - and we had a lot of them! As we walked around the various areas of the ancient city, he pointed out all of the historical sites and provided both factual and anecedotal stories about them. Pepe has a very friendly and interactive way about him, and was always willing to go into more depth, and if we expressed a particular interest in something, he would adjust the tour to let us see it. Since we are also interested in food and wine, he took us to an restaurant frequented by locals, a place he had been going since he was a little boy. It was Sunday afternoon and crowded, but the owner and staff greeted Pepe and gave us excellent service, and food. Pepe is a chef and a wine expert, and ordered our meal for us. It was wonderful. We were also lucky enough to get to see the ceremony of cutting a whole suckling pig using a ceramic plate to show how crisp the skin was and how tender the meat. As they went along, Pepe explained the meaning of each thing to us. When the plate was then smashed on the floor, the whole restaurant exploded with applause. It was a wonderful experience, as was the whole tour to Segovia with Pepe.

Pepe drove us to the city from Madrid and provided interesting information on the way. He is a fountain head of historical knowledge but it is delivered in understandable chunks. If you like European/Spanish history, he is the guide for you. He also knows of some great places to have a lunch and more than a bit about local wines. A great day. My wife has a walking disability and he accommodated that limitation very nicely.

Pepe was amazing and very informative. We felt like we receive special treatment from him and the people he introduced us to.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Pepe. Tremendous insights and history shared. Highly recommend.

This was a fabulous tour to Segovia. Pepe provided the most wondrous historical background and comments about the area the history of not just Segovia but also of Madrid and the whole of Spain, the relationship between the different parts of Spain as well as the religious significance at the time. He also wove in all sorts of details about The inquisition and architecture and a fantastic explanation of the royal family as well as the Romans it was the perfect amount of time and made the city totally come alive Personally he was wonderful in that he met me the next day to deliver my Kindle which I had left behind!!!

Pepe was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful day with him. I would highly recommend.
