From Madrid to history’s greatest hits in just one day! Ride a comfy AC bus while your guide leads you through Spain’s past, royal, medieval, and wartime.

Breeze past the crowds and into history! Explore El Escorial’s royal tombs, then soak in the solemn beauty of the Valley of the Fallen’s basilica.

Hear tales of Segovia’s Renaissance glory while standing in awe of a Roman aqueduct so sturdy that has survived 2,000 years without mortar.

Fun fact: The Valley of the Fallen’s cross is so massive (500 ft tall) that on a clear day, you can spot it from 30 km away.
