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
Toledo
Valley of the Fallen

Tour Reviews
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.
Very good, punctual, and a modern bus with AC. The guide was very professional, attentive and friendly.
Could be improved. The route is beautiful, but the explanations of the historical background of the points we visited couldve been better.
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…
Great. The city is beautiful, worth the visit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Friendly and efficient guide. Although the lunch was not to my taste, the trip totally made up for it.
Good tour. It went by quickly as we saw all of the city highlights and got to walk around the old town. Personally, I liked the cathedral the most, as well as the panoramic view of the city and the Tagus river.
Excellent trip. Cities like Toledo are few and far between.
We loved it. I think that if you travel to Madrid you need to see Toledo, and if you have a bit of time as we did, with a tour like this, as you can see the highlights in a single morning, comfortably, and with a guide explaining everything.
Our guide was great and Toledo is a true gem of a city. Next time we’ll stay there during our holiday.
It was worth it. Visiting both cities with an official guide was very comfortable, and he instructed us on the history of these two beautiful cities throughout the entire tour.
Great tour. It gives you enough time to visit both cities’ landmarks in a single day and the guide’s information was great.
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.
2 stunning cities. We always wanted to see Toledo and Segovia but by visiting them with an expert guide we got to admire every place we went to.
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.
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.
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.
Worth it. We loved being able to visit the most interesting places of Salamanca and Avila in a single day departing from Madrid. Estefania, the guide, was very attentive and gave us very good explanations of the places we visited.
It was worth it. Instead of seeing both cities on our own, which was the initial plan my wife and I had, we opted for this day trip. We got to see more places and better than if we’d done it on our own and the price was very reasonable.
Great. Good organization and several places to visit in a single day.
A must if you’re in Madrid. El Escorial is certainly spectacular, unique, and the guide offered us very food information to value those moments even more.
The tour in general is wonderful but I was not happy to have to wait all the time for the explanations to be translated into one or two or more languages.
If you’re interested in the history of Spain, this is the trip for you. Also, the views and the monastery are one of a kind.
You’ll soak up a ton of Spanish history. I loved it but I have to say that the guide could have been friendlier and was too dry for my taste.
Better than I expected. I was impressed by both places, even though I wasn’t expecting much from the Valley of the Fallen, this was almost what impressed me the most.
