Avila and Segovia Full Day Private Tour from Madrid

Discover two of the most beautiful and unique historic towns in Spain, both declared UNESCO heritage sites since 1985. Travel to Avila and Segovia is an easy 75 min drive from Madrid to explore a completely different environment and to learn a bit from the Castilian history, tracing back the steps to the Ancient Roman time, and continuing to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Also known for their unmissable landmarks: in Avila you could admire the very well preserved ancient walls from the Middle Ages; while in Segovia you will be surprised with the magnificent Roman Aqueduct with almost 2000 years history and its fairy-tale castle known as the 'Alcazar'. Be prepared to walk along the cobbled stone streets, to see old palaces, churches, convents, to contemplate the slow pace of the locals, AND, the best part: to try the local food! As a very proud daughter of a family who comes originally from Avila, come and join me to unveil the secrets of these two cities!
