A self-guided audio walking tour of Segovia that climbs from the Roman aqueduct through the walled old town to the Alcázar at its far end, on sloping streets. The aqueduct's double arcade stands over the Plaza del Azoguejo, built of more than 24,000 granite blocks laid without mortar. Inside the walls the walk passes the diamond-pointed Casa de los Picos, the Torreón de Lozoya and San Martín to the statue of Juan Bravo, a leader of the revolt of the Castilian cities in 1520 and 1521, then enters the Judería at Corpus Christi, built around 1300 as the main synagogue, and the house of Abraham Seneor, the last court rabbi of Castile. At the Plaza Mayor, San Miguel recalls the proclamation of Isabella as Queen of Castile on 13 December 1474, and the cathedral stands at the highest point of the city, with a cloister moved stone by stone from the old cathedral. The last part runs past the house where Antonio Machado lodged, San Esteban and its tower and the canons' quarter to the Torre de Juan II and the Alcázar, on the western end of the rock.

Every claim in this tour traces back to a named source — excavation records, the heritage authority for the site, and the primary texts themselves. Nothing is copied from other guidebooks, and anything we can't source doesn't make the recording.
Each stop is built from OpenStreetMap · 275 features in this old town (the field-surveyed mapping database behind Apple Maps), Wikidata · 49 cross-referenced entries (peer-reviewed structured records), the heritage authority below, and the primary historical texts where they exist.
Cross-referenced against Modern excavation publications · academic peer-review.
Every sentence is checked against those sources before it is recorded. If a claim can't be traced, it doesn't make the audio.
Every tour is reviewed by a person before it goes on sale. Stop selection, the route and anything ambiguous come back to the editor for a decision, and those questions routinely send a stop back for another accuracy pass. Nothing publishes on a machine’s say-so.

Follow the suggested route or explore freely. GPS tracks your position. Reach a site and the narration plays automatically.

Premium narration that sounds like a documentary. Warm and knowledgeable, not a textbook reading.
Every narration is drafted, cross-checked against primary sources, then passed through a second editorial pass that strips unsupported claims. Dates, names, and citations verified.

Spend an hour or a full day. Skip sites, revisit favourites, take breaks. The tour adapts to you.
24 narration points, including Acueducto de Segovia, Iglesia de San Millán, Casa de los Picos, Iglesia de San Martín and La Judería. That is about 42 minutes of narration in all, and you walk between the stops at your own pace.
Yes. It plays in your phone’s browser as you walk: no guide, no group, no app to install and no fixed start time.
Three ways, all built in:
The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.
No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.
Add the icon first, then download from the icon. On iPhone a guide downloaded in Safari cannot be seen by the home screen icon, so downloading first means downloading the whole thing twice.
Putting it on your home screen — iPhone or iPad (Safari):
On Android (Chrome): tap the three-dot menu at the top right, tap Add to Home screen (some phones say Install app), then confirm. On Android either order works.
If you opened this link from inside Instagram, Facebook or Gmail, you are in that app’s built-in browser. It cannot add anything to your home screen, and a guide downloaded there is thrown away when the app closes. Open the link in Safari or Chrome first.
Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.
The audio runs ~1–2 hours total, but you walk at your own pace. 24 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Once you buy it, it’s yours — there’s no expiry and no subscription. Come back next year if you like; the link in your receipt always works.
One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.
Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
