This full-day bus tour from Madrid visits the historic cities of Ávila and Segovia, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The tour begins with a stop at the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, which lies between the Sierra de Gredos and Sierra de Ayllón. In Ávila, the group crosses the city’s well-preserved 11th-century walls and visits the exterior of the Cathedral of Ávila, a Romanesque-Gothic church designed as a fortress. The tour continues with a visit to the Basilica of San Vicente, a notable example of Romanesque architecture, and then to the Iglesia-convento de Santa Teresa, built in the 17th century on the birthplace site of Saint Teresa of Ávila. A one-hour guided walking tour of Ávila is included, along with a drink and snack. There is no lunch provided, but free time is available. The second half of the day is spent in Segovia, where the tour features a one-hour guided walking tour. Visitors see the city’s Roman aqueduct, one of the best-preserved elevated Roman aqueducts in Europe and a symbol of Segovia. The exterior of Segovia Cathedral, a Gothic-style church built in the mid-16th century and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is also visited. The tour finishes with a visit to the Alcázar of Segovia, a medieval castle-palace located on a rocky crag above two rivers near the Guadarrama mountains, known for its distinctive ship-bow shape. The entire trip lasts about nine hours and includes a luxury air-conditioned bus with Wi-Fi, a bilingual official guide, and radio guides with headphones.
