What you'll see and do
Avila
Avila is the highest provincial capital in Spain (1,131 metres altitude), and is around 100 Km from Madrid, to the northwest. The old city retains the typical layout of Roman cities; however the undisputed symbol of the city is the medieval wall. This open and walled city is a World Heritage site, and its cultural and historical richness makes it a special place to enjoy its streets and squares.

Segovia
Not too far from Avila, around 80 Km to the northwest, we arrive in Segovia. The old city of Segovia and its Aqueduct are also World Heritage sites. In the old city there are many historic civil and military buildings, of both Christian and Jewish construction. And outside the old city is a delightful castle, almost a fairy tale palace, on top of a rock: the Alcázar. Something to be tried and remembered is the Segovian cuisine, which is very well-known outside its boundaries, not only in Spain but also internationally. Dishes such as ‘judiones’ (broad-beans), roast pork and roast lamb are its famous specialities. With regard to good restaurants, two of the ones recommended by the Michelin Guide are the ‘Mesón de Cándido’ and the ‘Duque Restaurant’.

Great private tour with very flexible accommodations
Must see historical cities in Spain and a private tour provides great flexibility. Our guide was very knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations of the sites and the history. She was flexible to accommodate our pace (my partner requires a cane for mobility) and the tour operator even agreed to drop us off near Segovia for our next adventure instead of requiring us to return to Madrid. Really great and I highly recommend this if you want to avoid the crowds of tours or need customization.

Excellent walk through Avila and Segovia
We visit Avila and Segovia in the day on a private driveme.tours tour. We enjoyed it so much! Super recommended the service offered! We highlight the warmth and professionalism of both Carmen, our guide, and Zdenka, our driver. We moved in a very comfortable and impeccable van where we felt very safe. We toured the highlights and emblematic places of Avila and Segovia listening to Carmen’s interesting stories and explanations. It was a 100% worthwhile excursion. Thank you so much!

Amazing tour!
This is an absolutely fantastic tour! A 10 out of 10! Our guide was amazing! Both cities are a must see! Our guide was knowledgable about both cities and the Church of St Teresa of Avila is a must. The Roman aqueduct in Segovia is amazing and not to be missed. Truly an amazing day! Highly recommend.

Wonderful day in Avila and Segovia
A wonderful private tour to Avila and Segovia! Our driver, Pavlo, was early and waiting for us, which was so refreshing (our other tours we had to call once the guides were late) Our tour guide, Mati, was so friendly and knowledgeable and on time as well :) She was always taking our pictures of us enjoying our time. In Segovia, we ate at a wonderful restaurant right next to the aqueduct where she knew the owner. We got wonderful service and even a little gift. It was a wonderful day!!

Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid cost?
+
Prices start at $1,631 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Avila and Segovia from Madrid start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
