Castles · SEGOVIA CASTLE TOURS
The good segovia castle tours sell their morning slots weeks ahead. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes, and where they differ.
Start at Segovia’s Roman Aqueduct and walk through Casa de los Picos, San Martín, the Jewish quarter, Plaza Mayor, and the Cathedral before entering the Alcázar. A Spanish-speaking guide, headsets, and both major entry tickets are included. Guides such as Eva are noted for lively, detailed storytelling.
“Excelente! Visita muy completa y amena. La guía un encanto.”
Travel from Madrid to Segovia by air-conditioned coach, then walk from the 2,000-year-old aqueduct through historic plazas to the cathedral and Alcázar. Choose free time or guided cathedral and castle visits. Guides such as Irene, José Luis, and Rocío lead in English and Spanish, with small-group options available.
“we got to see a lot in a couple of hours. would have liked 30 extra min in Segovia on our own though.”
Start at Segovia’s Roman Aqueduct and walk through the old center with a Spanish-speaking guide, seeing Casa de los Picos, San Martín, Plaza Mayor, and the Cathedral exterior. Finish inside the Alcázar, where guides such as Eva explain its royal rooms and changing roles. The two-hour tour costs $25 and includes Alcázar admission.
“Great way to learn the basics of Segovia. Eva was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insightful historical information which made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended for a first visit to Segovia.”
Join an official Spanish-speaking guide for a 2.5-hour visit to Segovia’s fairy-tale Alcázar and Gothic Cathedral. You’ll see royal rooms, the Hall of Kings, cathedral art, the cloister, Jewish Quarter, Calle Real, and the Roman Aqueduct. Carmen and Roberto have led highly praised tours, though the audio app can be unreliable.
“C’était très intéressant, le guide était très instruit, très professionnel et très à l’écoute. Alors que la visite devait se faire en espagnol, il n’a pas hésité à parler en français dès qu’il a su que nous étions français. Grâce au guide nous avons appris beaucoup de choses et nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Il est passionné par son travail et cela est communicatif. Bravo Roberto !”
By the kind of castle day, rather than the country.
