As we walk around Toledo Cathedral we will learn about the legends and stories associated with the city of the three cultures: Christians, Arabs and Jews lived together in a city with many secrets to discover. We will also learn about the history of the Visigoths and muslims who once occupied the grounds of the current Cathedral which dates back to the 13th century.

This tour was such a delight for our family of four with two teenagers. Toledo, in general, far exceeded our expectations. This tour was a wonderful way to learn about the city and see hidden gems. The guide was very knowledgeable and kept us in the shade most of the time. Even with the very hot weather, it was enjoyable.

We toured with Juan and he was an excellent guide! We appreciated the insight of a local to share history and his personal recommendations on what to do in Toledo. He is lighthearted and welcoming, and answered all of our group's questions. We walked through the different parts of town and it was perfect for sightseeing during a day trip to Toledo! Group size was about 12 people.

Overall, it was interesting, although I would have liked to be closer to very emblematic buildings in the city, such as the synagogues and the house of El Greco.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo para dejarnos una reseña. Valoramos mucho la opinión de nuestros clientes. Le recomendamos que en la próxima ocasión elijas el tour sefardí o un tour privado que se adapte a tus expectativas. De nuevo, gracias por la valoración.
Juan was entertaining. However, his English was not as clear as I would have expected for an English language tour. It did not help that the quality of the audio equipment sound was poor

Toledo is rich with history and it’s also extremely noisy with buses, cars and people all jockeying for the same space - so we were very happy to be given small speakers that looped over one ear so that we could hear our guide as she regaled us with her stories of creation, life, destruction and rebirth. A great plan to experience all that Toledo has to offer is to start with this tour, and then plan the rest of your time based on what you learn in 90 minutes.
A very satisfying and recommended experience. We were a group of friends; the girl who accompanied us (I don't remember her name, but I do remember she was from Granada) seemed very nice and explained everything very well, and she was attentive at all times to ensure we did not suffer any falls or accidents. I would do it again.
