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.
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.
Worth it. Both cities architecture and history is amazing. The best thing was that we got to visit both in a single day.
Could be improved. The route is beautiful, but the explanations of the historical background of the points we visited couldve been better.
The alcazar, the aqueduct, the walls and several other highlights… Visiting both cities in a single day is definitely worth it.
Very good, punctual, and a modern bus with AC. The guide was very professional, attentive and friendly.
Worth it. This city is pure history. The most interesting sites were the cathedral and the synagogue.
Art and history. I think that if you go to Madrid you have to visit Toledo, as it was the old Spanish capital and has a lot of very impressive places such as the cathedral, the alcazar and the Jewish quarter.
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.
Good organization and beautiful tour. In a single afternoon we were able to see the city and it’s most emblematic places. The guide gave us precise information and facts to help us understand and appreciate how the old Spanish capital was in the fifteenth century.
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
The weather wasn’t on our side but it was honestly worth it to go on this tour. The souvenir shop that they took us to was a little expensive.
The good quality offered via the advertisement and information shown by Julia through Shortplans was as advertised.
Impeccable. The tour was very well organized and we enjoyed seeing the city highlights. We were even able to purchase a sword to remember the visit.
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.
Worth it. In a single morning we toured the city and visited its most important places.
Good tour. We were able to visit and see both cities’ main attractions in a single day. Good organization.
Great tour. We loved seeing both cities, which are so full of monuments and history, all in a single day.
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.
Very complete. The tour is very good. If we had to say something bad, we would’ve liked to go into the Segovia cathedral.
Highly recommended. It gave us time to see almost everything that Segovia and Toledo have to offer, and the guide gave us very complete information.
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.
Completely recommended. I think we saw the highlights of both cities.
Pure history. We saw vestiges of Roman times in both cities, but what I liked the most was Avila’s wall and the entire old town of Salamanca.
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.
Gorgeous. Seeing both cities in a single day is worth it, visiting the old town of Salamanca and Avila’s wall and cathedral.
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 Monastery and the Valley was as expected, a delight. The guide was attentive to the group at all times and translated to English for some of the group. I recommend it.
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.
Good organization. We were able to value how spectacular these two wonders of Spain’s art and history are even more due to the guide’s explanations
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.
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.”
