“This trip offers a couple of options; for us the round trip and the basic tour with a terrific local guide was perfect. We had plenty of time to poke around on our own after the walk (about 1-1.5 hrs) and with more helpful tips from our guide. Others on our bus did the cathedral tour, one did the wine tasting too. Bus was clean and quiet, drive/driver was smooth and relaxing.”

“Group consisted of two tours 🙈 Once in Toledo we were split in two groups. Within those groups were people like myself who purchased the Toledo Experience and some going on to Segovia. Our local guide was very sweet. It was difficult to hear her unless you were up real close. We were left 1/2 way into the tour to explore the city on our own. Mind you the streets are like a corn maze, difficult to navigate. We found a restaurant and ate to kill time and afraid to wander too far for fear of getting lost. Finally time to meet the bus back to Madrid. No guide in…”
