“Very interesting and entertaining 2 hours with Francisco in Segovia ”
Francisco from the start made us feel like home in Segovia. It was a great intro to the city, its history and its people. We were lucky to meet and spend over 2 hours with him and he was also so kind to provide very useful recommendations on how to plan the rest of the day. Don't waste your time and book a tour with him!

“Amazing private walking tour of Segovia”
Francisco was the perfect tour guide for our day trip to Segovia. He is a local, so he knows all there is to know about Segovia, its history and all the surrounding villages. Everything was perfect, including his communication prior to booking, his tips and directions on how to get to Segovia from Madrid on the train, his excellent recommendations for breakfast and lunch, and help securing reservations for an amazing lunch. The tour itself was just what we wanted… a casual walk through the village, with excellent commentary and background about the rich history of Segovia and the surrounding area. He took as to all the best sites and showed us all the best views, offering inside knowledge along the way. He was very flexible and customized the tour to our needs. In addition, his English is clear and easy to understand, and he was patient to help us with our limited Spanish comprehension. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer and book more tours with Francisco, as there is so much history and culture to see in the surrounding area, and Francisco is the perfect guide to show it to us. We hope to be back, spend more time with Francisco in the future. Thank for, Francisco, for an amazing time in Segovia!
