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.

Salamanca
San Lorenzo de El Escorial

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.
Could be improved. The route is beautiful, but the explanations of the historical background of the points we visited couldve been better.
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.
I went by myself, and it wouldnt have been the same if I hadnt gone on a tour. The guide gave us tons of information on the history of Avila and Segovia, the latter was my favorite.
Spectacular. These two beautiful medieval cities were definitely worth knowing. My partner and I loved it. The guide was very friendly.
Visiting both cities was amazing. We were able to appreciate every highlight and both cities history thanks to our guide.
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.
Worth it. This city is pure history. The most interesting sites were the cathedral and the synagogue.
It was worth it. We were satisfied both with the guide and the tour’s organization. For those who weren’t used to walking, the steep streets were a bit harsh, but that’s also part of Toledo’s charm
Very complete. Starting with a panoramic view of the city form the viewpoint was great, to then visit the most emblematic places.
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.
Our guide was great and Toledo is a true gem of a city. Next time we’ll stay there during our holiday.
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.
A guided tour from Toledo to Madrid at a good price. The visit to the city is very complete and the service offered is good, I think it’s the best option to visit the city.
Very good and recommended experience.
Toledo is, in a word, majestic
Very complete. The tour is very good. If we had to say something bad, we would’ve liked to go into the Segovia cathedral.
We loved it. Being able to visit both cities in a single day was amazing.
Awesome. Visiting both cities in a single day was wonderful and the guide was great.
Fantastic monuments. The Alcazar, the cathedrals, the aqueduct, the palaces, everything was spectacular.
100% recommended. The history, the monuments, the tour, the guide, everything was awesome.
Worth it. The information provided by the guide Estefania was very good and the places we visited were incredible.
Fantastic tour. It gave us enough time to see both cities which are so full of history and art.
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.
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.
Great. Good organization and several places to visit in a single day.
An essential visit. I took my family and everyone loved both places, although it was a shame that we weren’t allowed to take pictures inside.
The visit to the Valley was very short and we returned to Madrid a half hour earlier than I thought.
Small group and everything was well organized. Both the monastery and the Valley of the Fallen were fabulous thanks to the history behind them.
Excellent in regard to the transportation and the information received.
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.
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.”
