The Private Tour to Segovia and La Granja is an exclusive and beautifully paired private exploration of two of Castile's most distinctive and rewarding destinations — the medieval Roman city of Segovia with its extraordinary aqueduct and fairy-tale Alcázar, and the magnificent Royal Palace and gardens of La Granja de San Ildefonso, the Spanish Bourbon monarchy's answer to Versailles set in the forested foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama — experienced with a dedicated expert Amigo Tours guide for your group alone. The two destinations provide a beautifully complementary pairing of ancient Roman engineering and 18th-century royal French-inspired grandeur within a single private day of exceptional variety and beauty.
Segovia's Roman aqueduct — 166 perfectly preserved granite arches spanning the city without a drop of mortar in one of the most astonishing feats of ancient engineering surviving anywhere in Europe — and the Alcázar de Segovia — its prow-shaped silhouette and romantic tower profile rising above the confluence of two rivers in a composition of fairy-tale picturesque beauty — receive the guide's most detailed historical and architectural attention before the tour continues to La Granja. The Royal Palace's sumptuously decorated interiors and the spectacular baroque fountain gardens — whose elaborate sculptural water displays when activated create one of Europe's most extraordinary baroque landscape spectacles — provide a magnificent royal finale.
