If traveling as a large family, this is a great option. We were a family of 10 (2 grandparents, 4 tween/teen, 4 adults). Our drivers (Javier and Willie) were great getting us to Toledo for a day of touring, shopping and dining. Our guide, Sonia, was born and raised in Toledo. Providing us with great history of the layout, conquests, trades, heritage, dining, and more about Toledo. There is still a lot of walking to do. It is uneven, cobblestone streets with steps and medieval market walkways. The Moroccan, Jewish and catholic traditions are unique and a bit sorrowful. So much was lost in the Spanish Inquisitions. I think everyone from my 10 year old daughter to my 75 year old stepdad learned something on this journey.
Absolutely amazing experience & tour. Javier was our driver & Diego was our walking tour guide through Toledo, The tour was custom-built to our needs & allowed us the choice to enter specific sights or to keep moving along. Both Javier and Diego were very nice and accommodating. Diego was a great guide who was born in & grew up in Toledo. His knowledge of the city and its rich history was amazing. This was a tour we will not forget!
Great time saver going private tour. Sonia was terrific. She definitely knew a lot about her cities history, we learned A lot. Double check your driver at hotel pick up, we had 2 show up.
This was a great experience! Fernando gave my granddaughter and me a wonderful walking tour of the old city of Toledo. Our driver was an excellent driver. I feel it was the best option for us to get to and from Madrid and experience the old city, synagogue and cathedral as well as local businesses. The pottery store and bakery were wonderful.
Be sure to understand that 2 of the 5 hours is just transportation to Toledo. There is plenty of time to enjoy the old city. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and culture.
Great guide Diego led us through a lovely journey through Toledo Old Town. Totally appreciated the history and atmosphere of beautiful town.
Toledo is wonderful place to take a day trip from the hustle and bustle of Madrid. Javier, our tour guide, did a wonderful job explaining the sites. The private tour allows you to go at your own pace. Highly recommend it.
Awesome experience visiting the city of Toledo. Alberto our driver was very informative and friendly. Valle our guide was just awesome. The city is beautiful and having someone who grew up there give you the tour was great. Highly recommend.
Lidia is a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable. As a Toledo native she showed us all the local gems. I highly recommend a tour with her! Her English and Spanish are great.
Our driver Alberto was very professional and provided great geographical information from Madrid to Toledo. Upon arrival in Toledo our guide Sonia took over and provided in-depth information regarding the city's history, landmarks, churches, shops, etc. Sonia is an amazing person and a wonderful guide with a strong grasp of historical facts. As a resident of Toledo she can provide many facts regarding daily life in this beautiful Spanish city. Sonia is well versed in Toledo's history and did an amazing job at explaining the importance of this city in Spanish history. We highly recommend Sonia if visiting Toledo because she's an outstanding guide and a wonderful human being! Please pass along our sincere thanks to her.
