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.
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.
Tour Reviews
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.
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.
I highly recommend it. The guides information was amazing, and the tour around Avila and Segovia was gorgeous. We mostly visited the Avila walls and the Segovia aqueduct, but we also loved the cathedral and the Alcazar…
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.
Worth it. Both cities architecture and history is amazing. The best thing was that we got to visit both in a single day.
The alcazar, the aqueduct, the walls and several other highlights… Visiting both cities in a single day is definitely worth it.
Good tour and good organization. We were able to enjoy some of Toledo’s highlights, although we would’ve liked to visit the inside of the cathedral instead of going to the damascening store.
Better than expected. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and the city tour. We loved the Alcazar and the Cathedral.
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.
We loved it. For a moment it felt like time had stopped in the sixteenth century. We had enough time to see the city highlights and visit the Muslim, Catholic and Jewish temples and districts.
The best way to see Toledo. Once we were done with the guided tour, the price seemed cheap to the service and the tour. I can’t say I liked any place better as they were all magnificent
The good quality offered via the advertisement and information shown by Julia through Shortplans was as advertised.
Excellent guide. Worth repeating.
Very complete. We saw the most important places of the city, and visited sites that were full of history and art accompanied by a guide who made us appreciate, understand and admire all the sites we visited.
Toledo is, in a word, majestic
Good for older people and bad for small children. The tour through Toledo’s streets is a bit difficult if you have babies. Otherwise, good tour.
Fantastic monuments. The Alcazar, the cathedrals, the aqueduct, the palaces, everything was spectacular.
Great tour. It gives you enough time to visit both cities’ landmarks in a single day and the guide’s information was great.
Good tour. We were able to visit and see both cities’ main attractions in a single day. Good organization.
Highly recommend. It gave us enough time to visit Toledo and Segovia’s main attractions. Good guide.
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
Fantastic tour. It gave us enough time to see both cities which are so full of history and art.
Great. Good organization and several places to visit in a single day.
We loved Salamanca. The Main Plaza, the university, the cathedral, the entire historical complex were all amazing. From Avila we really only got to see the wall.
Lovely. The tour allowed us to visit the points described in this page. Highly recommend.
Good tour and regular guide. Although the visits to El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen by themselves were worth it on their own, the guide could’ve provided more information.
Awesome. A historical excursion through two of Spain’s most important monuments, true architectural jewels.
Excellent in regard to the transportation and the information received.
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.
The visit to the Valley was very short and we returned to Madrid a half hour earlier than I thought.
The history, the architecture, and the amazing views—this tour had it all!
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.”
