While it is possible to visit both cities in one day, we wouldn't recommend it. Organizing this kind of trip in a single day is quite challenging and requires careful planning.

A wonderful day!
Perfectly planned trip, visiting Segovia was definitely best decision. The tour guide (sorry I can’t remember his name ) was informative and very friendly, and our driver was lovely too. We had some free time to wander around this amazing place which added even more value to this trip. The lunch option was also beautiful and very tasty with friendly service and gorgeous food.

We really enjoyed our tour and learned so much about the historic cities of Avila & Segovia. Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed the towns immensely.

A really nice day out and the bus was very comfortable, air-conditioned & relaxing.
