“The trip was absolutely Amazing. The guide Elena and the driver Ricardo were extremely helpful and kind. The trip was very organized, well informed every step and very joyful. When we arrived to Toledo, we have visited the more iconic places and Elena explained everything very professional and talented. After Toledo’s trip, we moved to Segovia when we have had the opportunity to enjoy a lunch there and after this, we started waking through all iconic places. In general, I had an amazing day trip to Segovia, a charming city full of history and stunning architecture. Walking through the narrow, cobbled streets of the old town felt like traveling back…”

“Chose the basic full-day tour. Poorly organized on the ground on Madrid. Construction has been going on at the pick up point for many months yet company couldn’t provide better guidance-address wasn’t accurate. Overall-worth it for round trip bus transportation. Glad the one hour walking tour stopped when it did.”

Review of Toledo’s Cathedral and monuments day trip from Madrid, with transport, guided walks, upgrade details, free time, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a great tour. Our guide Majez was superb. He provided more interesting incite into the history of the city and the sites we visited vs. vanilla textbook descriptions. The one negative about the tour was the strenuous walking conditions. For 60+ people with limited physical activity, this can overwhelm them. Definitely it is not for those with mobility, breathing or heart conditions. I ignored the discomfort and am really glad I took this tour.”

“The tour guide was very knowledgeable and well prepared. However, we spent more time traveling on the bus than at the sites. My suggestion would be to separate the towns. Just do one town so the customers can really enjoy the sites in that particular town, be able to eat patiently and shop without rushing. I felt everything was rushed!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 218 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $315

Review of Toledo from Madrid by high-speed train, with a private guide, Gothic Cathedral visit, old-town walk, free time, and practical tips.

“The train between Madrid and Toledo was convenient and quick. However, the tour is too short - by the time we got through walking to the cathedral and a brief guided tour of the cathedral, we had less than two hours to finish exploring the huge cathedral on our own and visiting the three sights recommended by our guide. We were nearly running to get to all three and only spent about 10 minutes per sight when we otherwise would have spent at least 20-30 minutes at each. Our guide (Ari) provided good info but given the tight schedule, it would have been better for her to talk through a…”
