Beautiful views, rich history-toured with convenience - Bus left at 3:05pm and reached back around 7:45pm, so not bad in terms of punctuality. But if I hadn’t followed the people who were leaving I would have missed the tour, the reception guy didn’t tell me the guide was here & I’d still be waiting
The Bus ride was very comfortable, Silvia was very knowledgeable and gave useful details of the history and architecture etc all along the way. The tour is mainly of the alcazar castle and the Roman aqueduct (you can go on your own, in the 45 minutes remaining and shop if you like before heading back to the bus which left on time at 6:35pm)
While walking from the castle to the aqueduct we saw the gothic cathedral from the outside and stopped a minute for pictures and walked through it the Jewish quarter
Perfect for those who want a quick tour. If you want to tour in detail taking ur own take to see everything it is better to take the longer tour or tour by yourself. Very much worth the money!

Great option for half day tour from Madrid - Great tour providing just the right amount of information about the local sights. Very time efficient with sights so not a lot of time to spend wandering around the time at the end of the guided tour but that suited us. Tour guide was friendly and super helpful.

False advertising - I chose this trip specifically because it included entrance to the Alcázar in Segovia. We got there when it closed. Beatriz spent our time in Segovia in the Cathedral looking and explaining at everything. We were late getting to Segovia because of rush hour traffic. She could easily have shortened the Cathedral tour. She did not apologize for arriving late to the Alcázar and blamed it on traffic.
The bus did not take the tour to see the Alcázar from the famous views from outside below. She did not explain that this was the original Walt Disney castle that many know.

Unsatisfactory tour - The guide knew a lot about the place, it's a shame that the little device they gave us to listen to what the guide was saying didn't have good sound, you could hardly hear it and the range of that device was almost zero, if you weren't close to the guide you couldn't hear it. . Furthermore, the tour was too fast, we did it almost running and they didn't leave us free time to even buy something to drink or even think about a souvenir.

Worst tour we have ever had in Europe - Left 30 min late, broken seats on. Bus, radios did not work to hear tour guide, Never took any walking ir bathroom breaks, walked too fast , did not keep track of all participantnts , no care of older people in tour , never given her name or phone number for contact if needed. Tour should have a map of where tour was starting and ending : was to be English, only half was : no control of those on tour

DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY - DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY. I wish I had read the reviews before I signed up. There was no guide on the bus for the 1 hour journey. When we got there, we were told there was no toilet and to buy something to use the facilities - we had 5 minutes. We proceeded to walk the entire city with a guide who made no extra effort at all. Dumped half the group at the castle (they had no idea what was happening) and said we had paid for the cathedral (I had no idea what was happening). Rushed through the cathedral and was told we had 15 minutes to walk back across the city and the bus. I begged to stop at the bathroom and they waited for us. No time for shopping or a bottle of water let alone a cup of coffee. I asked the guide why they were so late and they said it was always like this. Waste of money, had literally 2 hours to walk across the city (left at 3pm for 1.5 hour drive, tour of 2 hrs, 1.5 hour drive back). That's it. If the train station weren't so far from the downtown I would have taken an uber, rented a car, or gone guideless with a tour book.

Very bad experience in our planned vacations... - We had a terrible experience with Viator and Madrid VPT tours specifically with the tour guide Cristina. We started taking a bus in Madrid that had already passengers coming from Toledo for a two city tour. In the bus Cristina, the tour guide, mention that some of those passengers tickets didn't include the Castle, Alcazar, visit. Her bad organization cause that 6 of the passengers weren't able to go inside the Alcazar even though we paid in advance. That means that 6 other passengers without having the right to get into the castle got in. She didn't validate the names and tickets with her list. The worst part was that Cristina had no 2nd plan. She didn't offer help nor walked to the ticket office for new ones. We told her about writing a bad review and She answered that She didn't care. The bottom line is that we came from another country and spent a lot of money to go to Segovia. Viator only and wrongfully gave us a reimbursement of 36 dollars instead of give all the cost of the activity.
