Don’t waste your time or money with this group

Elena_A, Jan 2024
Utterly incompetent management that has contempt of you, they don’t respect you may be a foreigner unfamiliar with the locations and roads and will not call to check in on your status/safety. The bus will even leave early before the appointment time without you. The bus you ride in is cramped, with a bad smell, and bugs flying. Before going to Toledo, you’re made to stop in a “workshop” to see examples of the “cities” craftsmanship. But what actually happens is you’re led to a gift shop where you can buy tacky cheap jewelry and samurai swords at a 20% discount. I imagine the tour group company gets a kickback for every sale made. Good for them! Once you’re in Toledo proper, the tour guide wastes your time by slowly walking you around unremarkable places and giving vague descriptions about the cities history without any memorable or interesting details. This goes on for over an hour of your time while the guide constantly refers to a map you have no opportunity of getting until the end, so you’re unable to map the path you walk with the city layout. Unfortunately I had paid in advance for a tour of the Cathedral which, like the earlier tour, was a waste of general “first result google search” of the history of the cathedral, there was more detail in the plaques set up by the city at every monument. After having 3+ hours of your trips valuable time wasted, seeing very little, learning next to nothing, and having little clue of where you are or where to go you get some free time to try to salvage your trip and visit the cities key spots before the time the bus leaves. The tour gives you a red wristband that gives you prepaid access to 7 out of 30 museums and historical sites you can visit in the city. I don’t think it’s possible to reasonably visit all of them, but considering your limited time is already wasted, you don’t know the city layout, and there’s no guide to those 7 locations, you may not be able to visit all of them and get your full value from this tour. The tickets to visit any museum or key location is 3-4 euros. It is cheaper to take a bus straight to the city outside of the tour and visit the locations you wish to see, paying individually. I do not recommend this group for any of their tours and if you wish to visit any of their listed locations, Toledo, I recommend an independent journey. I certainly will in the future.

Must visit place

It was really nice to Walk through the medieval city , full of history from 3 different religious cultures. Fly Toledo experience was thrilling for us

Toledo is cute I loved it, but the part I didn't like was that only at the beginning of the tour the guide was and in the cathedral the guide went with us. But then alone and we felt we had a hard time finding the places I paid for on the reservation. We couldn't find some places and I paid and we couldn't find. It also had an appetizer included. We didn't get it. If you would recommend it but not with the same company

Linda Toledo!!!!

Toledo é uma cidade medieval muito bem conservada e encantadora. 3 culturas diferentes convivendo no mesmo lugar! Porém acredito que o tour seria melhor, se a guia fosse menos impaciente e mais educada. A Guia não tinha empatia.
