Where we drive from Madrid.
Every route runs as a private departure on your date and your timing — not a fixed shuttle you have to fit into. Distances and driving times are approximate, door to door from central Madrid.
Toledo
UNESCO old town, cathedral and El Greco. The classic first day trip.
Segovia
Roman aqueduct, the Alcázar and a long roast lunch.
Ávila
Complete medieval walls, often paired with Segovia in one day.
El Escorial
Royal monastery and the Valley of the Fallen, in the Guadarrama.
Aranjuez
Royal palace and riverside gardens — an easy half day.
Chinchón
Wooden-balconied medieval square, a favourite for lunch.
Alcalá de Henares
Cervantes’ birthplace and a UNESCO university city.
Cuenca
Hanging houses over the gorge — a full day, best with a guide.
Salamanca
Golden sandstone university city, a long but rewarding day.
Consuegra windmills
Don Quixote’s windmills on the ridge, combines with Toledo.
Ribera del Duero
Two bodegas, tastings and lunch among the vines.
Madrid city tour
Prefer to stay in town? A guided city tour with hotel pick-up.
Also driven regularly: Puy du Fou España (evening show near Toledo), Sigüenza, La Granja de San Ildefonso and Valencia or Seville as long-distance transfers. Tell us the destination and we plan it.
Leave Madrid in the morning, back by the afternoon.
Each package is transport plus the extras you want: an official guide, skip-the-line tickets, a lunch reservation or a tasting. Timings are a starting point — we build the day around your group.
Toledo classic day
08:30 hotel pick-up · 1 h drive · guided walking tour of the cathedral quarter and Jewish quarter · lunch and free time · back in Madrid around 17:30.
Segovia & the Alcázar
Aqueduct, cathedral and Alcázar with a guide, traditional cochinillo lunch booked for the group, afternoon return over the Guadarrama.
Two cities in one day
Segovia and Ávila, or Toledo and Consuegra — two stops, one vehicle, one driver, planned so nobody spends the day on the road.
El Escorial half day
Royal monastery and the Valley of the Fallen in a morning or an afternoon — ideal either side of a meeting or as an incentive add-on.
Wine day, Ribera del Duero
Two bodegas with tastings and lunch among the vineyards, with a driver who waits so nobody has to count glasses.
Madrid city tour
Prefer to stay in town? A guided city tour of Madrid by vehicle and on foot — Royal Palace, Gran Vía, Retiro — with hotel pick-up and drop-off.
Luxury Sprinters, minibuses and coaches.
Small groups travel in a luxury Mercedes Sprinter with leather seats; larger ones in minibuses and coaches, or several vehicles leaving together on one timetable. For a 200-guest incentive we run a convoy with a lead coordinator, so every vehicle arrives, parks and departs as one movement.
Every departure includes the driver, fuel, tolls, parking and waiting time at the destination — see coach & minibus hire for the fleet in detail.
- Official guidesLicensed guides for Toledo, Segovia, Ávila and Madrid, in English, Spanish, French or German.
- Tickets & lunch bookedCathedral and Alcázar entries, bodega tastings and restaurant tables reserved for the group size.
- Coach-friendly stopsWe know where a 55-seat coach can actually drop off in Toledo and Segovia, and where it cannot.
- Your timing, not a timetableEarly start for a long day, or a late departure after a morning meeting — the vehicle is yours.
- Driving-time rules plannedLong days with an evening show or dinner are planned within EU driver-hour limits.
Private, not a coach tour.
A scheduled bus tour leaves when it leaves and stops where it stops. A private day trip from Madrid belongs to your group: your departure time, your stops, your pace — and the same driver all day.
Hotel or office pick-up
Collected where you are staying in Madrid, including La Moraleja, Pozuelo and airport hotels.
All costs included
Driver, fuel, tolls, parking and waiting time in one fixed price, agreed before you travel.
Flexible return
Back in Madrid for an afternoon meeting, or later for dinner — you decide on the day.
Day trips from Madrid, your questions answered.
What is the best day trip from Madrid?
Toledo is the most popular: an hour away, and a UNESCO old town you can see properly in a day. Segovia is the best alternative for its Roman aqueduct and castle, and the two are often combined with Ávila over two days.
Toledo or Segovia — which is better for a group?
Toledo suits groups who want history and a compact old town close to Madrid. Segovia suits groups who want a dramatic first impression and a long lunch. For 20+ guests we usually recommend Toledo in the morning, when coach access and parking are easiest.
How long does it take to get from Madrid to Toledo?
About an hour by road, door to door from central Madrid, and around 1 h 15 to Segovia. Travelling by private vehicle means no station transfers at either end and no fixed return time.
Can you handle a group of 200 on a day trip?
Yes — as a convoy of coaches and minibuses on one timetable, with a coordinator who manages arrival times, parking and the guides at each stop.
Are guides and lunch included?
They are optional. Tell us what you want and we quote transport with an official guide, entrance tickets and a reserved lunch as one package, or transport only.
Can we do a city tour of Madrid instead?
Yes. A guided Madrid city tour by vehicle and on foot works as a half or full day, and combines well with an afternoon transfer to the airport or a venue.
