Holy Toledo! As Danny Thomas would say. Train was on time, souvenir shops were open and lunch-time cafes were full. Eat first, tour later!
Great experience to Toledo. Meet near the trains station in Madrid and just a quick train ride to beautiful Toledo. Cristina was friendly and knowledgeable. There is plenty of free time to discover this beautiful ancient town.

Antonio was the perfect guide! The tour was informative and comprehensive - while being enjoyable and not too intense (tranquilo!) I would highly recommend this tour. There is so much about Toledo’s history to learn. Antonio gave us the information in a way that was relatable and not overwhelming.
