I have very bad experience as the instructions email direct me to wrong pick up location and nobody pick me up at meeting point. Before 10min expired I use the chat contact Headout email but no body help and I called IBE tour and they said the tour bus already gone as I went to wrong pick up point. I have send all proved photos and chat screenshots to proved I arrived meeting point at 8 am followed by email. It was spoiled my day and I am still not received the refund.

Excellent service. The only thing I think is that they should redistribute the time in each city. 30 minutes more to Segovia and if they want to return the same at 5:45pm, then 30 minutes less to Toledo. It would be perfect!

When I arrved at the meeting point in the morning, there was no one in your team. After a while your guide and bus called us to come over the road. During the tour, this cases happen very often. of all, this tour was very time consuming. and it is so hard to contact your team

The attention and compliance with schedules is important. Very attentive to the group and that it was always full. I only suggested to dedicate some time to do some local shopping and that lunch should be in Toledo. Arriving in Segovia at lunchtime makes it very difficult to find an available restaurant and you lose time and still have a good experience.

4/5

The town of Segovia itself... The guide from Madrid to Segovia was inaudible in the coach, and I didn't hear a word he said. The city tour was more interesting with this guide, thanks to the headphones he gave us, and he was not at all friendly and introduced himself in a neutral and banal way, obviously not happy to be there that day... I only took a brief tour of part of the city with him: no meal, no Alcazar and no Cathedral. On the other hand, on the return journey from Segovia to Madrid, the guide was much friendlier, greeted us with a smile and apologized for the bus being late due to a passenger's accident, and gave us some interesting information before arriving in Madrid: the history of the four skyscrapers, the Picasso tower and its owner, the "boss" of Zara, etc. .... The personality of a guide, in addition to his professional skills, seems to me to be indispensable...a smile, a little joke and everyone is in a good mood.... But that's rare these days...only the pay slip counts for some...

Best time to visit Segovia

Timing your trip right can make all the difference. Whether you love lively crowds or quiet charm, here’s what to expect in each season.

Peak season (April-September): If you love warm weather, bustling plazas, and long daylight hours, this is your time. Spring brings mild temperatures, blooming flowers, and a livelier atmosphere without the full summer rush. By June, the city is buzzing with tourists, and outdoor cafés are in full swing. Expect sunny days, little rain, and peak crowds at major attractions. The dry heat in July and August can be intense, so early morning and late afternoon strolls are your best bet.

Low season (October to March): If you prefer crisp air, fewer tourists, and a more relaxed pace, Segovia in the low season is a dream. Fall colors in October and November make for picture-perfect views, while winter brings a medieval charm with misty mornings and a chance of snow dusting the Alcázar. Temperatures can get chilly, especially in January and February, but that just makes the cochinillo (roast suckling pig) taste even better. Visit during these months to enjoy quiet streets, lower prices, and an excuse to cozy up in a historic café.

Tips to make the most of your Segovia trip

  • Spain uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always handy to have some cash on hand for smaller purchases or taxis.
  • Segovia's specialty is ‘Judiones de la Granja'. You must try this comforting and flavorful dish made of white beans cooked with traditional ingredients like chorizo.
  • Segovia is compact, but its charming cobbled streets have some slopes. Comfortable walking shoes are a must!
  • Need a break from walking? Taxis are easy to find if your legs need a rest.
  • Siestas (afternoon naps) are a common practice in Spain. Many shops and attractions close between 2pm and 5pm, so plan meals and shopping accordingly.
  • The ‘San Marcos viewpoint’ in Segovia is the best spot to take photos! You get a perfect vantage point to click the medieval buildings of the city.
  • For some day trips, guests can choose a preferred language, but tours may be bilingual based on group size. If the bus isn’t full, one guide will likely lead in both English and Spanish. Either way, you won’t miss a thing—the bilingual guides ensure a smooth and informative experience for everyone!
  • Even though you’ll be accompanied by a bilingual tour guide, we recommend downloading a translation app!
  • Bring only essentials in a small bag or backpack to keep your load light and your hands-free for exploration.
  • Segovia can be chilly in the morning and warm by midday, layers are your best friends. Keep a jacket or shawl handy, even if it feels like a hot day.

Excellent service. The only thing I think is that they should redistribute the time in each city. 30 minutes more to Segovia and if they want to return the same at 5:45pm, then 30 minutes less to Toledo. It would be perfect!
