The Segovia: City and Alcázar Guided Tour is a two-hour Spanish-language walking tour of Segovia, a city designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Starting at Plaza Azoguejo 1, the tour opens at the Roman aqueduct, one of the best-preserved Roman structures in Spain, built without mortar and standing over 28 metres at its highest point. From there, the route passes through Romanesque churches and historic neighbourhoods before arriving at the Alcázar, the medieval royal palace that sits on a rocky promontory above the confluence of two rivers and served as one of the primary residences of the monarchs of Castile.

Inside the Alcázar, the guide covers the palace rooms and the onsite museum, tracing the building's history from medieval fortress to royal court to state prison and military academy. Note that the Tower of the Alcázar is not included in the standard entry covered by this tour. The tour is conducted in Spanish and is wheelchair accessible throughout. Tickets cover the guided city walk and Alcázar entrance, with free cancellation available before the selected timeslot. For visitors combining this with a wider trip, Madrid attractions are around 90 kilometres south and pair well with a day excursion to Segovia.
