The place is very pretty, only thing going downhill walking is kind of strenuous so we should put something on the description and people will know as so many can't walk or have some disabilities. Other than that is a worth experience”

“One of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. So glad we booked this tour. Nice experience to get outside of crazy, but engaging and fun Barcelona. Our tour guide was David who did an awesome job guiding us during our exhilarating Pyrenees hike from and back to a small oldest town called Rupit. The sights were first-rate. It is not for people who are afraid of heights. It was semi-serious hiking! Make sure you're wearing comfy hiking/walking shoes. Breakfast and lunch were good! The lunch feast was actually amazing. Wonderful and gracious restaurant staff. For dessert, don't miss the ice cream drizzled with their local Ratafia - I still…”

7.Segovia Private Guided Visit & Alcazar with High Speed Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 11 reviews · 6.5 hours · from $353

Travel from Madrid to Segovia by high-speed train, then explore the Roman Aqueduct, Alcazar, Old Town, Jewish Quarter, and Plaza Mayor with a private guide. The outing includes a short countryside walk, castle entry, and free time for lunch or suckling pig. Guides speak English or Spanish.

“Our guide turned up late, which wasn't a good start. The experience itself was incredibly expensive for what it was and for the amount of information we were given by the guide, we could have done the trip ourselves for a tenth of the price. We felt the guide didn't tell us all that much. The 'hike' was a very boring walk by the river, obviously aimed in order to pad out the time in Segovia. We would have much preferred to spend more time in the city and visit other monuments/buildings of interest. The cathedral should definitely have been a part of the trip. Bit of a rip off,…”
