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.
Avila
Salamanca
San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Segovia

Tour Reviews
A must. If youre in Madrid, visiting Segovia and Ávila is definitely worth it. They are a World Heritage Site after all. Highly recommended.
Visiting both cities was amazing. We were able to appreciate every highlight and both cities history thanks to our guide.
Great visit. We had enough time to see the most emblematic monuments of both cities as well as many other places, like palaces, which arent as popular.
Spectacular. These two beautiful medieval cities were definitely worth knowing. My partner and I loved it. The guide was very friendly.
Could be improved. The route is beautiful, but the explanations of the historical background of the points we visited couldve been better.
Great. The city is beautiful, worth the visit.
I’d recommend this tour. We had enough time to see the city highlights and walk around the old town streets. Be careful if you have mobility problems because a person who did the tour with us had a bad time.
Impeccable. The guide gave us very complete information about the city and all its monuments. We bought a sword and a small armor as souvenirs.
Good tour. We’re an older couple and although we knew that some streets were very steep we had no problems touring the city and enjoying Toledo’s history and monuments.
We were delighted. I went with my wife and we were both very satisfied with the tour.
This was my second visit and this time I brought my mother. Toledo is a gorgeous city in every way and I love it because you can walk easily through its streets.
It was worth it. Getting to enjoy this city’s history and art was fantastic. The guide gave us very good explanations and the tour was great. What we liked most was the picture of the Greco and the cathedral.
The morning in Toledo and in the afternoon there’s time to get to know Madrid. Anyway, I had the feeling that I missed seeing some things in Toledo, so perhaps it would be better to have done a full day.
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.
A very fast pace on the part of the guide, who was young. There were older people in the group and there were many ascents in the city that they needed to take at their own pace, and so they ended up missing part of the guide’s explanations. A shame on that part.
Great tour. It gives you enough time to visit both cities’ landmarks in a single day and the guide’s information was great.
Pure history. We liked Toledo in general and were impressed by the Alcazar and the Segovia Aqueduct.
Awesome. Visiting both cities in a single day was wonderful and the guide was great.
Spectacular. Nice tour through Toledo and Segovia and Alfonso was a fantastic guide as well as his explanations.
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.
The best of Salamanca and Avila. We were able to see the most interesting places of these two cities in this one-day tour: the wall, the cathedrals, the palaces and the impressive Salamanca Main Plaza, which I believe, along with Plaza de España in Seville, are the two most beautiful in Spain.
Fantastic tour. It gave us enough time to see both cities which are so full of history and art.
Good value for money. Getting to see these two human heritage cities with a guide explaining everything we were seeing was almost cheaper than doing the route by ourselves.
Great. Good organization and several places to visit in a single day.
Completely recommended. I think we saw the highlights of both cities.
Everything was very well coordinated although the tours went by too fast for my liking.
Incomplete. We would’ve liked to have some time to visit the library. In spite of that we liked the visit in general and visited many other interesting sites.
The guide behaved very well with us at all times, very friendly. Sometimes he gave too much information, but he also told us some interesting trivia.
Incredible. Fantastic visit to two monuments that represent such a great part of Spain’s history and art
Pure history and art. Both monuments were great. I can’t believe there’s so much accumulated history there.
