Buses were full and we had to wait for the next bus which was over 30 minutes late. The same thing happened on the way back with no explanations or apologies. Once we got to Toledo the tour itself was great!

Our tour guide Inma was excellent and made the tour so enjoyable! She was very detailed and made sure we understood her. One thing we found was the bus service to pick us up at Plaza España was late half an hour and apparently they had to use a replacement bus with no air conditioning. Aside from that, the visit at Toledo was everything we expected. We took the full tour and the food was excellent. The attention we received from our tour guide Inma was top notch and she was extremely responsible paying special attention to kids and seniors. I recommend.

"The city deserves a full day visit. We started with a very foggy, cold morning, that turned into a beautiful, sunny day by noon time. Our guide Benny, made our tour very educational, motivating and fun. His knowledge and friendly demeanor put us at ease immediately. I loved the tour of the Cathedral. I saw other tours only included the outside of it, but going in and listening to Benny explanation of the different things, made me appreciated the place even more. The Greco painting was amazing. The trip was on time, with no interruptions. We elected to have lunch on our own and followed Benny's recommendation on the restaurant. There are many choices and in my experience, food is great everywhere I went."
Toledo’s medieval era was punctuated by freedom of cultural expression and religious harmony. The Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca is one of the best examples of the religious diversity that was prevalent during the 11th and 12th centuries. It was designed by Islamic architects for Jewish use, and it was built during the reign of a Christian king. The typical Mudejar construction style is almost immediately recognizable. The Iglesia de Santo Tome is another cross-cultural monument. The tower is inlaid with glazed ceramic and built in Mudejar style, although it is used as a Christian church. It is well-known for housing El Greco’s legendary painting: The Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The Monastery of San Juan de Los Reyes was built by King Ferdinand II and Isabella I of Castille to celebrate the birth of Prince John. It is a prime example of Isabelline Style Spanish architecture, which incorporates both Gothic and Islamic styles. The entire city is filled with innumerable monuments from the medieval period.
