My family and I really enjoyed and got tremendous benefits from our 3 hour tour with Sonia. She’s a native daughter of Toledo with deep educational and professional tourism experience. She met us at the train station and had a taxi waiting for us. She suggested we take a longer ride into the city to take in 2 important and gorgeous views of the city from outside the walls. This also helped orient us. We requested the tour to include a lot of the Jewish history and some El Greco, so we focused on the 2 synagogues, the Jewish Corner, a recently discovered cave from a Jewish home, the Jewish Quartter and El Greco’e masterpiece. At each stop and along the way, Sonia provided rich details and pointed out good places to return to on our own later in the day. I highly recommend touring with Sonia or another local guide. It would have been helpful to go to the Cathedral with Sonia as well, however, we didn’t have time due to our other priorities.
The tour company reached out in advance, soon after I booked, with other helpful tips including suggested restaurants and train booking encouragement.

Our guide, Fernando (Nando), was very entertaining and informative. He provided excellent insight into the Jewish history of Toledo as well as the overall history of the city from Moorish conquest through the Inquisition and beyond. The pace of the walk was quick but unhurried. The tour accomplished our desired objective.

Sonia was super knowledgeable and personable during the tour. She answered all our questions and told us so much about the history and about how this reflects on present-day Spanish society and culture. She made sure my mother, who has some trouble walking, felt safe on the cobblestone streets and had ample time to rest.

Danny was a wonderful, knowledgeable, passionate professional who made the experience an exceptional one. He went out of his way to accommodate us when we were unable to locate the meeting point and literally walked us through via FaceTime to find our car. Committed to historical details, he was an excellent communicator and made the Jewish history of Toledo come alive. Highly recommend.

Irene, our guide, was fabulous! She was extremely knowledgeable very personable, and made our trip to Toledo very enjoyable. At the end, she recommended a restaurant for lunch, which we loved, as well as what to do with our free time after the tour. Highly recommend seeing Toledo, as its a beautiful city.

Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He knows detailed history and is familiar with current cultural events. Coming from Toledo himself, He brought us to authentic shops and told us about the best things to do around the city.

We had a fabulous experience. Our guide, Sonia was outstanding. Sonia, is well educated, knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality. She went above and beyond by walking us to a restaurant she felt we would be comfortable with. She later texted to be sure we got back to Madrid and forwarded us restaurants and things to do
in Madrid and other places we were traveling. If you are interested in learning about the history and plight of Jews in Spain and Toledo make sure Sonia is your guide. Sonia is what made our experience so fabulous! Deb

Javier is a perfect guide, charming and knowledgeable, and gave us a great introduction to Toledo, a fascinating and well informed tour of the Jewish quarter and the two beautiful Medieval synagogues, and great tips and advice for the rest of our stay in Toledo. Very highly recommended.

Diego was super knowledgeable and we learned so much from this experience. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in Jewish history in Spain.
judy_P, Apr 2026
This was a wonderful tour because our guide Javi was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Toledo and it's history, and obviously loved sharing his enthusiasm. He was also eager to learn what we already knew and what our interests were, not just reciting from a script. Truly made it a meaningful experience.
Amy_M, Apr 2026
A fascinating look at Jewish history in Spain. Irene was an engaging and pleasant guide. She was enthusiastic about the subject matter and we learned a lot. Definitely recommend.

Daniel was so knowledgeable and experienced. We were tight on time, and I asked if he could condense the tour. He was able to oblige whilst sharing so much with us. He is also a very proud native to Toledo, and his insider knowledge and passion for his city was a great bonus.

Sonia was AMAZING!! Such an educational and once in a lifetime experience. Sonia brought history to life with detail and nuances. She was invested in our group, and curated to make sure we got everything we wanted from it. A perfect 10!
Robin_D, Mar 2026
Javi was amazing! He reached out the day before and since we were coming from Madrid, we had a plan to meet up at the train station in Toledo to start our tour. Unfortunatley, we missed out train. Javi turned what was a hectic morning into a beautiful day. Instead, we met him in town where he greeted us with a smile and warmth. Offering us just what we needed...coffee. It was just the 4 of us in our tour. As a local from generations of educators and tour guides, Javi is the guy you want touring you through Toledo. Our tour was focused on Jewish Heritage and Javi brought a wealth of knowledge and unique perspective to the history of the Jewish people in Toledo. He literally has the keys to the city! By the time the tour was over we felt like family. What a special day!
Steven_D, Mar 2026

Aberbach_M, Nov 2025
I highly recommend this private tour. Javi was a wonderful guide, very informative, accommodating and a pleasure to be with. Along the way there were a couple secret sites that only a tour operator would know of and have access to. Thank you Javi!!
Scott_M, Nov 2025
One of the finest tour guides I have ever had. It was a joy to spend the day with Javi and to learn from him about Jewish Toledo. He was wonderfully knowledgeable, clear in his answers and incredibly engaging.
Barbara_B, Nov 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Sonia. Not only was she very personable , but she was also very knowledgeable about the history of Toledo and the various cultures that have inhabited the city through the centuries. As an American, it is a bit difficult to conceive of a history that dates back so far! She brought the history to life for me. A lovely tour. Thank you, Sonia.
Lowell_R, Oct 2025
Sonia was very thorough and steeped in knowledge of jewish history and customs. She prided herself in studying Jewish history.
