I was a little suspicious at first because the first stop in Toledo was a gift shop disguised as a tour. However, we soon arrived in the center where our guide walked us through the historic and beautiful streets of Toledo. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and spoke both english and spanish. After the tour, we had roughly 2 hours to sightsee the city ourselves. We chose to get lunch and hit as many of the sights on the map as possible. But, we found ourselves rushing and deciding between the sights, which our bracelets granted us access to, and shops. unfortunately we quickly ran out of time and missed many things; good thing we didn't opt in for the cathedral option. Ultimately, it was a great guided tour but 2 hours is simply not enough time to enjoy your visit; you will be rushing.

I appreciated Almudena’s patience and professionalism. The bus was very clean and comfortable. The driver was careful, and the trip was smooth both ways. The tour instructions were very good and easy to understand. We were able to find our way around and enjoy several places. I didn’t like the first stop (gold crafts) because it took up a lot of time that I would have liked to spend in the city. I didn’t get to go inside the Toledo Cathedral due to lack of time.

The tour of the Cathedral was insightful and eye opening. Walking through the up and down stone-paved narrow neighborhood streets was a wonderful and delightful which we wanted more before we ran out of time. The visit to the 6 other chapels is one activity I highly recommend if possible. Overall, a historic city that will completely charm you for a long afternoon.

The tour guide was very friendly and patient. Toledo is very beautiful; it's not a very big place, full of churches and monasteries, and I was surprised by the marzipan. However, after the quick tour of the main sights, we were given about three hours of free time, but with an unhelpful map and no internet, it's difficult to get around there. I had problems with my cell phone network and got lost, which made me late getting back to the meeting point.

Take a full-day tour of Toledo and learn about the history of this fortress city as you walk beside a knowledgeable guide.

Don't stress over planning, just book this trip! You'll get AC transfers from Madrid and an expert-led itinerary that covers all Toledo highlights.

Follow your guide to key landmarks like Santa María la Blanca, a stunning synagogue-turned-church, and Santo Tomé, the house of El Greco’s masterpiece.

A simple upgrade will get you access to a guided tour with tickets to Toledo Cathedral, the seat of the Archbishop of Toledo. The basic walking tour of Toledo is a great option for budget travelers.

Fun fact: Toledo was the capital of Spain from the 6th to the 16th century, a walk along its streets will uncover a millennium of history!

I liked the free time to roam through the old city of Toledo. We were able to visit all 7 sacred places we had tickets for, and they were amazing.
