Day Trip to Toledo and Segovia

Our guide Melissa was in a very good mood and provided an interactive and entertaining tour. I was pleasantly surprised!

Good day tour for travellers with a few time to knowing two cities in a day. We check in at 8.25 am and a person from the bus company accompanied to the bus stop. Departure at 9 am. We chose the option to be at our own pace and refuse to buy the guide walking tour on the bus. Congratulations to Ester and her high sense of humor. She made our trip enjoyable with histories and recommendations of the places to visit. Thanks.

In general, it was a good trip besides the fact that the bus was about 40-45 min late to leave Madrid! It was early and super cold, so that was not cool, especially if you go with kids. Also, this trip is advertised as cheaper than others because what you pay is just to take you to the cities, but the tour guide is not included and has to be paid additionally. We got it as a courtesy just for Toledo for the bus being late.

What a wonderfully cultural and educational experience. Loved the opportunity to discover the region.

We spent more time in trafick jums then in city atractions. and the worest thing is that the explanations were not synchronize with the sites that we passed thrugh.

A little bit tire after 11 hours of tour but it is worth. Angie in Toledo and Alfredo in Segovia were the best guides I never know wit a great knowledge in history and sense of humor.

Both places were fascinating. We did not take a tour so I can’t write about that part.... but the original bus out of Madrid came 1/2 hour late so our time was cut short in Toledo. Bus arrival communication was difficult and we had to find them amongst all the other buses and loads of people doing the same thing. The bus that arrived wasn’t the same as the original bus. It all seemed crazy and disorganized.

Trips to Toledo and Segovia were good. It was a long and exhausting day but the 2 towns where’s absolutely beautiful! Segovia is larger than we expected and its too hard to walk back and forth to the castle in such short time (tour bus should’ve made a stop/drop off there). We decided to do the Madrid City tour the following day but getting the “free” tour was a nightmare!!! We purchased 8 tickets and were told that the tour was 1 free city tour PER order and we would have to pay 14€ for the other 7 members of our group! After 30 minutes of arguing we got our tickets but missed the bus and had to wait 1.5 hours for the next bus. Also, found out that there was a bus stop next to Plaza Major (which is were we were staying). Had we been given our City tour tickets (and a map showing the stops) the day before when we checked in for the Toledo/Segovia trip we could’ve saved ourselves a 1 mile walk and 1.5 hour wait.

This tour was great . The tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The provided us enough time for the tour and also to walk around on our own. They also provided us opportunities to upgrade our tour package to include a lunch.

This tour was advertised as an English speaking tour, however, it was merged with additional tours and became a Spanish/English tour with over 60 people. It was confused from the very start as staff couldn't distinguish members from each group and wasted 30 minutes sorting through various colored wristbands. Once the tour started, the percentage of Spanish conversation versus English conversation was about 70/30. The guide made an effort to satisfy the English speaking members of the tour but the size of the group made it impossible to get the personal attention that was promised.
