I recently took a tour from Madrid to Toledo and Segovia, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The tour description promised that we would learn about the history of these incredible cities, but this was largely not the case.

Our guide in Toledo, Carlos, seemed disinterested and didn’t provide much information unless we specifically asked questions. When we arrived in Segovia, we were assigned a new guide who was almost the same—again, minimal guidance, and we were basically left to explore on our own and return at a set time.

The positive reviews I’ve read about this tour left me hopeful, but it seems I may have just had the misfortune of getting two guides who were less engaged than expected. Additionally, you don’t get to see much on this tour, as there is very little structured explanation, which made the experience feel rushed and disorganized.

Honestly, had I known this would be the case, I would have visited Toledo and Segovia independently and spent less while having a more flexible experience.

Save your money and book another tour.
