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.

Tour Reviews
Spectacular. These two beautiful medieval cities were definitely worth knowing. My partner and I loved it. The guide was very friendly.
A must. If youre in Madrid, visiting Segovia and Ávila is definitely worth it. They are a World Heritage Site after all. Highly recommended.
Good organization. We left Madrid on time. The guides explanations were good, very educational. I only wished wed had more time to visit Avila on our own.
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.
Awesome. The guides explanations were very pleasant. We saw spectacular monuments in both cities.
We were delighted. I went with my wife and we were both very satisfied with the tour.
Good tour. We loved strolling the streets, the panoramic view of the city, the different temples we saw and the cathedral’s facade
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.
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.
A charming city. Thanks to the guide we were able to discover Toledo as it was when it was the capital of the kingdom in the 16th century. Fantastic.
A must in Spain. The The panoramic view of the city is spectacular and the visits to the different temples and walking through its streets was incredible.
Good visit. The tour was very good but I think we could’ve used the time we spent in the damascening workshop to go into the cathedral.
Toledo is, in a word, majestic
Incredible. Walking through the streets of Toledo is to go back to the sixteenth century, where we saw how Jews, Muslims and Christians lived together in harmony.
Not suitable for people with low mobility. My parents are over 80 years old and they had a hard time walking around some parts of the route. I understand that if it hadn’t been for that, the tour would have been good.
100% recommended. The history, the monuments, the tour, the guide, everything was awesome.
Very good tour. The organization, the tour and the guide were very good which allowed us to visit and admire two amazing cities.
Great tour. We loved seeing both cities, which are so full of monuments and history, all in a single day.
Amazing. I went with my husband and my older daughters and we enjoyed every moment of the tour and of all the monuments and places of interest.
Highly recommend. It gave us enough time to visit Toledo and Segovia’s main attractions. Good guide.
I loved it. I thought about visiting Salamanca and Avila on my own and over several days but with this tour I was able to enjoy both cities in a single day and value their highlights due to our guide, Estefani’s, indication.
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.
Great. Good organization and several places to visit in a single day.
Gorgeous. Seeing both cities in a single day is worth it, visiting the old town of Salamanca and Avila’s wall and cathedral.
Fantastic tour. It gave us enough time to see both cities which are so full of history and art.
A very thorough guide with all kinds of information about the Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen, although perhaps more time should have been dedicated to the trip.
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.
Everything was well-organized, without delays and highlighting the Valley of the Fallen with its beautiful scenery and snowy mountains.
Well put together by Julia and the team. In just a few hours they were able to share the essence and historical importance of the area.
The Escorial Monastery is truly delightful. My friends and I enjoyed it and had a great time. A shame part of the Valle was closed and we couldn’t go in.
