This was an amazing journey. Three important historical sites in one day. A lot was learned and discovered during the day. Our guide Romero was very organized, knowledgeable and funny. Use of the audio equipment supplied by the agency was very helpful, especially in larger venues. The bus was newer and was pumping the AC full throttle. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience. Our Guide Romero was very knowledgeable about all three sites we visited. It was a full day but worth it. Highly recommend, especially if you’re interested in local Spanish history. Shout out to our driver Jose - Transported us all safely.
The show was exhilarating!!! Dancers gave the best show with their skill and charm . The drama shows on their facial expressions. The dinner was excellent . I had the best paella !! Very good service by the staff. There was some confusion about my reservation but they were able to fix it. I would highly recommend this place for the experience
It was a good day trip but make sure that you book with only the language you select (or inquire first before booking). I thought that was what we selected, and it turned out to be a bilingual tour. It certainly made for a longer day with both languages being spoken by the guide. Because of that, I think that we didn't have enough free time to explore Segovia, which was a bit rushed at the end. I think if only one language was provided, it would have been a better experience for everyone. I would still recommend this tour if only one language is spoken.
Very interesting historic tour with our brilliant guide Ramiro, who is an expert in Spanish history!
Great experience and beautiful places to meet. Our guide Ramiro was fantastic!
Romiro was a fantastic guide, knowledgable and attentive. He made all the places we visited interesting
The ac did not work and news was reporting a heat wave. Very unprofessional. Stated it would stop every 30 minutes and it did not. Other bus companies stopped every 20. They did not stop in every location. They skipped some if they didn’t “see anyone” requesting a bus ride.
It was a great experience will and Alejandro were a great experience with the yellow tours
Ramiro gave a terrific tour! He is fun and knowledgable. His speaks clearly and loudly with or without the device. He wants us to learn about El Escorial and Segovia. They are beautiful, historical sites and he describes the history and nuances in depth. We highly recommend the tour, and requesting him for your guide.
good trip, enough time spent in each location with detailed explanations!
Great trip. Nicely paced, informative and great value. Really enjoyed the day with Tamara as our guide. She switched fluently from Spanish to English, back to Spanish. She worked very hard and was clear and was a wonderful guide.
You get to see sites not as common on other tours: El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen, in addition to visiting Segovia. Our tour, unfortunately, started a half hour late and then was rushed, resulting in no bathroom breaks, even after 3.5 hours of traveling/touring. We booked an English speaking tour, but everyone else was Spanish speaking, so a lot of the tour was in Spanish. Despite booking a smaller tour, we were merged with a large group on the way back. Our guide seemed pretty indifferent. Overall, the sites were great, but the delivery left a lot to be desired.
It’s an informative and memorable experience, I gain much historical knowledge of these two areas. The tour guide is very nice. 這是一趟充滿知識性的旅程,從中我獲取了豐富的兩地歷史背景知識。導遊也十分友善,對團友照顧細心。
Good journey with Félix and Alexandro. Good Time in familly
Very extended tour at Escorial, Valley and Segovia. Really professional Alejandro the guide was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He poured knowledge the whole time translating in both English and Spanish for me it was helpful his English was extremely clear. He even offered us portable chargers on the bus! Would absolutely recommend not only the big bus tour but especially one with Alejandro Thank you so so much for the beautiful and fun day on my next trip to Spain you’ll definitely see me again!
What a wonderful bus trip with Alejandro the guide! He was sympathetic, kind and enthusiastic! What a great variety of places we were taken to and again this guide made sure to take such wonderful care of us 💕🤗
A very intensity day by Yellow Tours, with the guide Alejandro with a plenty of monuments! It was a great excursion 👍
We spent the whole day going to El Escorial and Segovia. Our guide Alejandro and the bus driver was Lely. Each stop having its own beauty! Highly recommend! Enjoy the pictures.
Nice bus driver Lely 👍 We had a good 👍 design of a variety of historical places Alejandro was helpful! We already have enjoyed, and definitely we will came back to Segovia!
Great day into historical places! With a plenty of different styles and periods! Guide Alejandro make a strong effort! Nice trip!
It was a great day into a great guide. Alejandro guide shows to everyone with knowledge and enthusiastic the all details of History.
It was an excellent trip and great value for money as well as saving us a lot of hassle in working out how to do a 3-site day. We were also lucky to get the wonderful Jorge as our guide, who's not only extremely knowledgeable and a lovely guy but also able to joke in multiple languages. Strongly recommended.
Amex omg place! Alejandro guide shows information and great enthusiasm! We have learnt a lot! I strongly recommend to everyone! Really amezing
Great tour, very good service! Guia is a wonderful guide telling stories of the city and we discovered lots of interesting spots in the city.
Great day trip with diverse stops and excellent guide. Thanks Alejandro for the fun and knowledgeable information during the different stops. Also amazing preparation, Alejandro even brought several power banks.
Great tour Our guide was Cristina and it was excellent, very patient and knowledgeable. She was very good handling certain inconveniences that came along and handle the group very well
First of all the tour I bought stated it was a 11hr. Day trip, we started 1 hr. Later and our driver got lost a couple of times, so we lost a bit with those issues. We end up changing buses in our way back so we had to adjust our schedule to the other group and end up coming back way earlier than expected. I purposely bought a day trip to be able to enjoy without rushing but I had a speeding experience instead. The tour guide guy Nacho was very knowledgeable and kind but the company in charge lack of organization and costumer service made this experience a 3/10.
It was terrible, they theoretically offered me a discount for being a group of 6 people and I purchased them at 28 euros instead of 33, and when I was waiting in line, a person came to ask the price and they offered them the same tour for 21 dollars; when I mentioned it to him, he told me that it all depended on who you bought them from and that it was too bad, the salesperson on the street of Gran Vía, when I requested his name he lied to me about his name, for everything he said, I advise you not to use Big Bus, they are scammers.
Wonderful tour, guide and drivers. The guide Alejandro was very professional and some wonderful places!
The guide Alejandro was excellent, concerned that we all learned, were well hydrated, and everything turned out perfect. Thanks to the excellent guide and the very complete tour.
The experience with the guide Rito was excellent. However, this comment is so that you do not offer 3 tours in one day, since some of us wish to learn more, not just visit places in and out.
Very good note ten congratulations for all work
Laura driver Alejandro guide excellent incredible experience
The tour is very fascinating. Wonderful guide Alejandro. Very good driver Laura. Excellent!
Angie is the best in the whole world. Super kind and very attentive, I loved it so much
The Alejandro tour is excellent to know the three places in one day. In addition, he is highly skilled, speaking both in English and Spanish.
Amazing places and experience. It was fantastic guide Alejandro! To repeat it next year!
Very complete tour. Enjoy the day 😉 a lot! Excellent driver and guide Alejandro 👍 very professional!
It was very good the tour I loved my favorite segovia. The excellent Alexandrian guide.
The tour with guide Alejandro and driver Lely, was more than satisfactory. Not only have both been super professional and warm, Alejandro ready to accompany, guide, even in free time, but all three tour visits went from normal; we had tour time and photos, rest and stop at the most attractive points depending on taste. Thank you Ale!!!!!!!!
We have enjoyed a very intense day / we are leaving 💪 with a pleasant memories of these wonders, you could headline, , ; [from the Roman construction, with the Aqueduct, passing to the reflection of the 16th century, with the Monastery Palace, considered the eighth constructive wonder of the world, and the emblematic of the 20th century in the place of the Valley on the high overlooking the mountains of Guadareama, (construction of the 20th century). The guide Alejandro, from the company Yellow Tours, was exceptionally fantastic! All amazing!
The tour and guide Alejandro have been fantastic. Both the historical explanation and the gentleness and recommendations have been excellent. Highly recommended.

I was surprised by this tour for magnificent! of monuments and history!Very good Yellow Tours guide, Alejandro!
Segovia requires one more day there is a lot to see when arriving to take the bus they asked us to pay extra the tickets we had no inconvenience but when we arrived at the Alcazar de Segovia they told us that this ticket was not covered for us for the rest of the tour if what we were strange they should have informed us to cover the line was huge so it was impossible to enter
Wonderful experience that of Escorial, Valle Caídos, and Segovia! Valiolisimos places! Guide Alejandro very good, we left happy!
