My family had a wonderful tour to Segovia and Avila. The Alcazar and Aqueduct in Segovia and the city walls of Avila are breathtaking views. This day trip is a must do if you visit Madrid, just like the day trip to Toledo. Our guide Jose was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. He provided almost non-stop bilingual commentary of the history, culture and religious background of the attractions during the entire tour. As part of the tour, we also chose to have lunch at Bernardino in Segovia, which was very pleasant. The roasted suckling pig was delicious, and the waiter cut it with a plate just to show how tender the meat was.
One recommendation is for the travel agency to offer an English only tour. Half the time we were listening to Jose speaking Spanish, which we didn’t understand.
