Excursions to monuments and cities near the capital of Spain

Signing up for day trips from Madrid through the suburbs of the Spanish capital is an excellent option for making the most of your holiday in the city. We offer you the possibility to go on our trips, which include guided tours to places near the capital, treasures like Toledo, Aranjuez, Avila, Segovia, El Escorial or the Valley of the Fallen. All of these destinations are quite interesting. Find out for yourself!

Get the prices of each one of these guided tours, which are always done in comfortable buses for short journeys on the road. We will clearly show you the schedule of each of our itineraries and of the places to which we’ll have to take the bus. From there, we will enjoy a day discovering the charms of Madrid’s suburbs, thanks to the presence of our guide, who will accompany you both at the destination of each trip and on the journey there.

Why should you embark on any of our trips to the outskirts of Madrid? It’s very simple: there’s much to see and our tours will definitely surprise you.

Tours from Madrid that families will enjoy

All of our trips from Madrid take place during one day. Throughout the day, sufficient time is available to tour places quite different from the capital, like Avila or Segovia. The first is famous for its long medieval walls and the Santa Teresa de Jesus. And the second is world-famous for its Roman aqueduct and the spectacular Alcazar.

Another interesting destination for a trip from Madrid is the city of Toledo. This city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s worth going on the peaceful guided tour that we offer you through its streets and to its monuments. It’s the best way to discover the City of Three Cultures.

The attractive places to see on a day trip from Madrid don’t stop there. It’s also possible to go to two quite distinct places that embody the far-off and more recent histories of Spain. Trips and guided tours to Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial and to the Valley of the Fallen are also available.

And equally interesting is to go on a trip to Aranjuez in order to see the palaces, museum and gardens in the beautiful Comunidad de Madrid, located very close to the capital and thus easy to go to on a day trip from Madrid.

That’s to say, we offer various destinations for these trips, which always include a guided tour to the most attractive and unforgettable places to see during your holiday in Madrid.

Quite comfortable bus, brilliant restaurant in Segovia and very beautiful places. The downside is that there’s very little time to stop and appreciate everything in detail, especially the aqueduct and the unvisited cathedral.

Avila and Segovia are to be visited time and time again. I will never tire of walking through their streets and I have already thought about returning with my parents through this company.

History and art. Between both cities, there are at least 4 essential monuments to see in Spain, as well as many other interesting but not so famous ones.

Charlotte G.

Spectacular places. The Alcázar, the Cathedral and the aqueduct of Segovia along with the walls of Avila are impressive, worth seeing if you’re in Madrid

I loved the tour with this agency. The guide was very well prepared but sometimes gave the same explanations in English and Spanish, which took some time.

A pleasant tour. We saw Segovia and Ávilas highlights. Although I wouldnt recommend it for people who cant walk long distances or who have small children.

Most of the group were older people and the tour was very fast-paced. Even so the cities are beautiful and my husband and I were amazed by the aqueduct.

I went by myself, and it wouldnt have been the same if I hadnt gone on a tour. The guide gave us tons of information on the history of Avila and Segovia, the latter was my favorite.

Catherine H.

The tour was very good. I liked Segovia more than Avila, but both places had great monuments and highlights. It was definitely worth it!!

Well organized, it was on time, although it wouldve been nice to leave a little earlier and have a bit more free time to visit the towns on our own.

Jon E.
November 2025

Very interesting. We were able to see the highlights and got an idea of how this three cultures city was like in the sixteenth century.

A great way to see Toledo. The bus is comfortable, the tour around the city is very complete and the guide’s information was very interesting.

Theodore G.

Good tour. We loved strolling the streets, the panoramic view of the city, the different temples we saw and the cathedral’s facade

Excellent. Congratulations on the organization, our evening experience in Toledo was perfect.

Perfect to get to see Toledo. The street tour and visiting the city highlights was very interesting and broad enough to get an idea of the city and how it was during the time of its maximum splendor in the sixteenth century.

Ted B.

Highly recommend. The tour is as good as the information that was given by the guide and the visits to the temples.

Friendly and efficient guide. Although the lunch was not to my taste, the trip totally made up for it.

Dylan H.

I had the same guide here in Toledo as in Avila and Segovia. I’m quite pleased because he’s a very professional guide and friendly with the tourists.

Excellent guide. Worth repeating.

Nathan S.
November 2025

Half a day is honestly too little time to see Toledo, but we went to see the main sights in the city. The guide was very friendly.

Peggy W.
November 2025

Great tour. Definitely worth visiting both cities, it’s a shame that we couldn’t go into the cathedrals.

Roger C.
November 2025

Highly recommended. It gave us time to see almost everything that Segovia and Toledo have to offer, and the guide gave us very complete information.

Randall C.
November 2025

Very complete. We visited the most emblematic places of both cities and had time to visit the ones we found most interesting.

Ann L.
November 2025

Great tour. We loved seeing both cities, which are so full of monuments and history, all in a single day.

Debra C.
November 2025

Not recommended if you can’t walk much. You have a to walk a lot, and Toledo has very steep slopes, which made the tour very difficult for my husband and me.

Alfred H.
November 2025

Magnificent. We visited the most emblematic places of each of the two cities and the guide knew how to give us detailed information of every point we visited.

Stanley R.
November 2025

An essential visit in Spain. If you go to Madrid I think this is a must due to the tour’s historical and cultural value. Also, value for money is very good

Thomas G.
November 2025

Lovely tour. There were tons of very interesting places that were worth the visit, both in Salamanca and Avila: the walls, cathedrals, streets, nobility palaces, etc.

Peter G.
November 2025

Good. The overall tour was very good, but I think the guide could’ve shown us more things in Avila.

Michelle S.
November 2025

Pure history. We saw vestiges of Roman times in both cities, but what I liked the most was Avila’s wall and the entire old town of Salamanca.

Owen B.
November 2025

It’s amazing. The cross of the Valley can be seen from far away and the Monastery is spectacular, where the Catholic royals are buried. A great trip, I recommend it 100%.

Samuel J.
November 2025

Spectacular tour. My partner loves historical sites, and I usually get bored, but I have to say that this tour exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely recommend it

Abbie H.

Everything was very well coordinated although the tours went by too fast for my liking.

Paige D.

The guide and Julia Travel are excellent at their jobs. Many thanks

Joe C.

The Escorial is a monastery that’s definitely worth visiting. The best thing is that it gives you time to do other things in the afternoon in Madrid or anywhere you want.

The history, the architecture, and the amazing views—this tour had it all!

Amanda B.

We learned so much about Toledo’s history. It was a great mix of guided tours and free time to wander.

The excursion was nice, but the tapas were disappointing. I expected something more authentic and tasty

From the Alcázar to the Jewish Quarter, everything was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and friendly.

Toledo is an absolute gem! This tour covered all the highlights, and we even had time to relax and shop.”
