The entire tour was amazing! Jesus, our tour guide, did a remarkable job showing us the sites with excitement and passion, not to mention his English was perfect. I honestly wish that we had two days in Toledo because it’s that interesting. Know before you go: it’s best to train in, the parking situation is horrible. The wristbands they provide you give you all-day repeat access. The courtyard outside the cathedral is where you’ll meet the guide, just look for a white umbrella. Also, if you did drive in, go to Mirador. It’s the perfect picturesque location to see all of Toledo.

We had a great day in Toledo with our guide and group. Our guide, Arantxa, was an energetic bundle of joy and information. We learned quite a bit, and laughed a lot also! Loved the detailed tour of the Cathedral, truly a jewel!

Our tour guide, Rafael was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the sites in both languages Spanish and English. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend visiting Toledo as part of travel planning to Madrid.

Very knowledgeable and pleasant guide who was able to give a good tour, in spite of many places being closed for the holidays.

The guide was well-prepared and gave an enjoyable guide through the town.
