The Cathedral of Santa Maria, also called primate cathedral of Spain, is a Catholic temple of Gothic architecture in Toledo. Its construction began in 1226 under the reign of Ferdinand III the Saint and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when in 1493 the vaults at the foot of the central nave were closed, during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.
The protected area comprises the old city center, enclosed by the city wall and the meander formed by the Tagus River. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. The city also has the status of Asset of Cultural Interest, having been declared a historic-artistic monument on March 9, 1940.
It is the Jewish community of Toledo which became, in the 12th and 13th centuries, the most populous and rich of the Kingdom of Castile. Coexists for centuries, more or less peacefully, with Muslims and Christians, in which it would be called the city of the three cultures.
The Aqueduct of Segovia is a Roman aqueduct that carried water to the Spanish city of Segovia until 1973.1 Its construction dates from the early second century AD. The most visible, and therefore famous, part of the aqueduct is the arcade that crosses the Azoguejo square.
The Alcázar of Segovia, dating from the early 13th century, is one of the most famous medieval castles in the world and one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Twenty-two kings have passed through its rooms, as well as some of the most prominent figures in history.

There cancelled the second city which is huge disappointment. We selected this all because it visit two cities. If it is only Toledo, we could take a bus or train to do it ourselves, no need to wake up early and go to the meeting point. Regarding the first city tour. It is not great either. First they take you to a swords factory and try to sell you things. They said there is no public washroom in the town, this is the only place. But if you visit any attractions or restaurants or.. you will have washroom access. The tour is very boring, lucky it is very short (cheap? Useless). They don't even tell you others attractions, views points.. So use your Google maps is better and useful than the guide.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment. To better understand what happened and review the specific circumstances of your tour, could you please let us know the date on which the tour took place?
Tour was good, driver was cautious. Only thing out tour guide did not tell us castle in Segovia last entrance is 5:30 pm and cathedral last entrance is 6:00 pm. We missed both 😔
Trip to Toledo was okay, guide though he tried to speak both English and Spanish he had a terrible time doing so Not very professional and not so informative. Plus he left us alone to be picked up at the end of the tour with instructions to look out for his partner with a red umbrella. Not what I was expecting. However on the trip to Segovia was a different story. Guide very professional, very informative stayed with us the entire time from start to finish, thus the reason I gave him a good tip
Hi Pecaface239, Thanks for your review. We will do all our best to improve the experience in Toledo and we will share your words to our guide in Segovia. Thanks for your comments and we hope to see you soon in Madrid again. Regards
Very well organized tour. In one day we were able to cover two beautiful cities, Toledo and Segovia. Tour guides were good. They explained to us in English and also in Spanish. At Segovia they gave us head sets, so that when tour guide spoke, we were able to hear what he was saying. The group was large, 20 to 30. But head phones were very useful. Buses were luxury buses. We were lucky as there was no rain. But it was chilly, so bundle up. Overall rating of the tour is EXCELLENT.
