A good trip to a lovely old city. In hindsight it would have been better to spend more time but we weren’t able to. Guide was ok but seemed a bit flat. Other guides have been more outgoing and happy in their job. Good information though. Note for the bus driver- please turn the airconditioner up. Everyone was hot on the bus on the way back
Do not book this tour. We booked a tour in English and then it was predominately in Spanish with a little English. When I asked the tour guide, who never introduced himself, if he could speak more English as that what what we paid for he told us no and that he didn’t care what I had paid for. Very rude guide and what little English information we received was boring. Also, the bus stopped 5 minutes out of Toledo at some souvenir shop for more than thirty minutes. Surely getting some kick back. All guests were waiting out near the bus for the driver and guide to finish their coffees.
if you are older they leave you behind even though you paid!! In our case we were not allowed tostay with the group
Toledo was beautiful and awe inspiring. Our guide was from Toledo so she was very knowledgeable and had interesting stories and insights. I highly recommend this excursion.
The guide was great and informative. She also stayed in a good mood given it was 100 degrees and leading a bunch of foreigners around in that heat. The churches, simply beautiful. Even from a non religious perspective.
Excellent tour of Toledo. I've been there once before on my own, and I found the tour with guide was far superior than doing it solo. You learn so much about the history of the place, the architecture, and culture. Highly recommend the full day tour to enjoy time for lunch, shopping, and some time at the end to explore on your own.
Was a cool tour through Toledo, wirh a very cool panoramic Liokout at the beginning. The bodega tour was very cool with a lot of explanation.
Very good tour, clear and with the main monuments to see.
Beautiful experience, the guide (Clara) was very good. The food was good, but it is not worth the price.
Overall great trip! We did it in 104 degree weather and still managed to be a great time. It was hot but kept us in the shade and a lot of stuff was indoors.
