The trip was well done - though the audio devices were quite poor and varying in quality
Albert
Contrary to a number of other day trips this one was very well-proportioned. The excursion is centred on showcasing the heritage of the three religions that shaped the city. We visited an ex-mosque, an ex-synagogue, as well as the Cathedral, a monastery, and the church housing El Greco‘s Burial of the Count of Orgaz. There was enough time to take in the atmosphere in each of the places. The guide‘s explanations were very informative, if a little rote. All in all I felt I was given a very rounded overview of this ancient capital of Iberia.

We were pleased with the guide. She did a great job. The cathedral made this trip wonderful and amazing. All things inside the cathedral were beautiful and exquisite. We also enjoyed seeing the Jewish temple and the Mosque. History was everywhere. Thank you
Armando
We had a wonderful time. The driver Justi and especially the Guide Jorge were fantastic. Funny, witty and a fountain of knowledge. Would definitely recommend it.

Our guide, Jorge, was excellent. He never rushed his guests or left anyone behind. Please wear comfortable shoes! You will walk a lot and the cobblestone streets are not forgiving. Jorge’s knowledge and humor during the tour made it a great experience. It is a walking tour through the World Heritage Site that is Toledo. Over 1,500 years of history as it changed hands from one conquering group to another with each one leaving its impression on the city. Absolutely fascinating and a completely enjoyable day!
