About this tour
This is a short planning call about linking Segovia's two biggest landmarks into one sensible route rather than a live walk between them. I talk through timing and order based on the light and the crowds at each spot. You leave with a route built around your own schedule.
We start with when you plan to visit and what else you want to see nearby, then I map the route from there. I answer questions about either landmark as they come up, since I know both well. At the end I send over notes on timing and the best angles for photos.
This suits anyone planning their own visit who wants a local's sense of timing and order. It also suits viewers who cannot visit but want the history explained properly.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned

Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Segovia, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Two thousand years, one walk 17 min
I talk through how to link the aqueduct and the cathedral into one sensible route, what order works best depending on the light and the time of day. You tell me when you plan to go and I build the route around that.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Madrid time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Segovia: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to know the history already?
No background needed. The guide explains everything as it comes up.
