Exceeded our expectations

What a wonderful way to explore the city center and surrounding areas. Must ask for Dylan as your guide! Great guy and very knowledgeable. We were provided with enough information as we visited many interesting sites & beautiful parks. We covered approximately 20 km's without breaking a sweat. We ended our tour with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine. E-bikes are very easy to use, with very little effort required.

Phenomenal tour!

What a spectacular day! We went on this tour yesterday and it was absolutely magical. I was a little worried because it was a long day and I went with my 12 yr old and 15 year old. We all loved it. I’m so glad we went to all 3 places. Our guide, Tamar, was fantastic and so knowledgeable. It was in English and Spanish. I know guide books recommend one of these towns more than others but I would not miss one. We would love to go back and visit all 3 and spend more time at them. They all have their unique intrigue. The time between cities gave us all needed rest. The lunch was surprisingly good for a tour and the selections were vast. The glass of cava at the end of the tour was a nice touch. I would do this again in a heartbeat. What a memorable day!

What a unique and amazing experience!

We rode on an open 4WD vehicle throughout the farm admiring beautiful horses, bulls, cattle and bison up close. We then enjoyed a tasty and hearty Spanish farm-to-table breakfast. We then continued the tour to Segovia seeing the Roman aqueduct and visiting the cathedral and the Alcazar Real. Dylan and Tamar were very friendly and knowledgeable guides who made our tour very enjoyable. I would highly recommend it.

A Wonderful day Trip

We went for Segovia day trip along with a farm visit via WE Madrid and it was one of the best day spent as a family . Our almost 3 year old daughter had a blast at the farm seeing all the animals and their homes in real. What made the trip memorable was the warm people who put all of it together . Especially our wonderful guide , Dylan. Thank you so much for such a lovely trip and we look forward to more experience with We Madrid . If you happen to be in Madrid , make sure this trip is on your agenda to experience beautiful Spanish country- side and culturally rich Segovia !

Best Day Trips From Madrid: Highlights

  • Toledo tours from Madrid. Known as ‘the city of three cultures’ (Christian, Muslim, and Jewish), this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts unique architectural gems. During your day trip to Toledo from Madrid, explore, among other landmarks, the city’s medieval castle and the Church of Santo Tomé that holds some of El Greco’s most famous paintings. After the visits, enjoy tasting sessions of local produce.

  • If you are searching for day trips near Madrid, choose Ávila. Located northwest of Madrid, the city is famous for its imposing 2,500-meter walls (Muralla de Ávila) and a museum dedicated to Santa Teresa de Jesus. Also called Teresa de Ávila, the noblewoman was a prominent figure in the Spanish Renaissance and the Catholic Church. Besides, the city offers churches, palaces, and a 13th-century cathedral to discover.

  • For a fairytale-like experience (both in summer and winter), book a Madrid to Segovia day trip. Here, you can find some of Spain’s most spectacular historical relics! Feast your eyes on the UNESCO 1st-century Roman aqueduct, the most exceptional example of Roman engineering in Spain. Or, head to the Alcázar of Segovia, built atop a near-unscalable hill at the confluence of two rivers.

  • Another idea for a one day trip from Madrid is a tour to El Escorial. Discover the magnificent Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo and the Basilica. Afterward, complete your day tours from Madrid with one of the most famous and controversial attractions: the Valley of the Fallen. Located in the Guadarrama mountains, the memorial to the fallen in the Spanish Civil War features the world’s largest stone cross. Also, the site is a former burial place of Spain’s fascist dictator Francisco Franco.
