Segovia offers 2000 years of history in one compact package. This walled Spanish city 100 kilometres from Madrid has been designated a World Heritage site for its well-preserved heritage, including a Roman aqueduct, a Medieval fortress and a Gothic cathedral.

Take a Segovia private tour and explore this Spanish city with a local guide.

Meet your guide under the Roman viaduct for a history lesson alongside your photos, then explore the narrow streets of La Juderia, home to Segovia's Jewish families until they were expelled in 1492.

Segovia's cathedral is a photographer's dream. Admire the exterior spires from Plaza Major, then duck inside and look up at the vaulted ceiling. Follow the city walls to the Santiago gate, built in the Mudejar style, then head to the Alcazar, situated on a rocky outcrop. Your guide will time the visit to avoid the tourist crush so you can view the Throne Room and Armoury at your own place, and enjoy the panoramic view from the top.

During this tour, we'll get to know the main facts about the Spanish Royal Family. The Prado Museum is their family photo album, and in a very entertaining way, we will get to learn about the main royal dynasties that have ruled the destinies of Spain. Without forgetting the artistic point of view, after all, a great part of the collection was theirs until the 19th century and mirrors their likings and preferences, thus their personality. After that, we will move to the other side of the Old City to get to know in person their last residence, until the year 1931, the royal apartments at the Royal Palace, a fantastic experience which will complete all the knowledge acquired in the Prado Museum. Maximum 7 participants.

Larger parties ask for conditions.

There is only one BUT, as the Royal Palace is not just a Museum but is also used for official events by the Royal Family, its closing is sometimes announced last minute and we need to have a Plan B, in case that happened. . . we'd see

Influential Toledo &amp; Bookish Consuegra, Full Day Tour from Madrid

«In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing» would be the beginning of 'Don Quixote de La Mancha' written by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605, considered the best-selling book in the history of literature.

The place where the story takes place in the book, is just what this tour offers: first Consuegra, with its landscape, its windmills, its panoramic view, its castle and its history. And, indisputably, then Toledo - the first capital of Castile, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive monumental and cultural heritage. Its labyrinthine streets take you back to the time of the Knights Templar; its shop windows with their sabers, swords and knives make you live these feats; not to mention the local sweets, cheeses or hams.

These two places will make you discover the hidden jewels of the most ancient Spain!
