The Alcázar of Toledo is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Charles I (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor) and his son Philip II of Spain in the 1540s. In 1521, Hernán Cortés was received by Charles I at the Alcázar, following Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs. Most of the alcázar was rebuilt, or restored, between 1939 and 1957 after the Siege of the Alcázar of the Spanish Civil War.

Our guide was Ramiro. Excellent tour! Very good explanations and very enjoyable. Ramiro did an excellent job, and I would definitely love for him to be the guide next time I visit; great job!
Great guide Ramiro. We took the 9:30 AM tour in Spanish. Highly recommended
It was a great way to see two cities in one day
Rachel es preciosa! A lot of interesting informations of the city!!! 🤗🔝
Well organized and good guides.
We had a wonderful day with Ramiro as our guide, as well as Alejandro. Ramiro was very knowledgeable about the city culture and history. It was very hot, but many places to stop and get a drink. We would highly recommend this tour.
We enjoyed our trip to Toledo with Romero and Tamara . It was obvious that they loved the city of Toledo and were proud to explain the history to us
Easy and fun all day trip. Can’t wait to be back
We were having trouble booking train tickets to Toledo, so we decided to go with a tour that gave us time to explore on our own. I'm glad we did; we had a great time. The bus on the way down was fine, not the best, but fine. The speakers were very crackly so it was hard to hear the information from the guide. We stopped at a sword/jewelry factory on our way in and had a few minutes to shop there after the short demonstrations. The prices were reasonable, about the same as the shops in the city, and they did have some jewelry designs I didn't see anywhere else. Then we went up the escalators and did the walking tour with Elias (I think that was his name). He led the English tour, and there was also a separate Spanish tour. He did a good job telling us about the city and making it entertaining. We've been to Toledo several times before on our own, but we learned some things from the tour. And then we had about four hours on our own to explore the city. You can't see everything in four hours, but you can see several historical sites and do some shopping, plus get something to eat, so we were happy. The bus on the way back was a double decker and better than the first one. More comfortable, the speakers worked fine, and it had good air conditioning, which was essential after all that walking in the heat!
Company quite punctual and the guide José Luis passed us many precious information from Toledo, in a light and well-humored way. It's a pity that on the second many locations were closed. If you want to get more busy, you better go over the weekend.
