Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Den gamle bydel i Toledo blev erklæret af UNESCO som en verdensarvsby siden 1986. På vores tur vil vi gå langs gader og pladser fulde af historie og demonstrere den store rigdom og pragt i den gamle hovedstad i Spanien, byen almindeligvis kendt som “Byen med tre kulturer”
De ældste skriftlige dokumenter, som vi har fra jøder i Toledo, er fra det fjerde århundrede, i romertiden, selvom det er muligt, at de etablerede sig i byen før da. På vores tur går vi gennem de smalle gader i det gamle jødiske kvarter og besøger de vigtigste monumenter og underjordiske arkæologiske levn, der gjorde dette jødiske kvarter til et af de vigtigste i Europa.
El Tránsito-synagogen, også kendt som Samuel Leví-synagogen, blev bygget efter, at kong Peter I's kasserer beordrede det til opførelse i 1355. Selvom opførelsen af nye synagoger ikke var tilladt på det tidspunkt, var godkendelse af dens opførelse kong Peter I's måde at takke det jødiske samfund for at have støttet ham i krigen mod sin bror Enrique de Trastámara. Inde i synagogen kan vi beundre det utrolige bønnerum dekoreret med rig gipsarbejde og National Museum of Sephardic Culture.
Synagogen i Santa María la Blanca var en af de elleve synagoger, der stod i Toledo indtil slutningen af det fjortende århundrede. Dette er en af de ældste i Europa og blev bygget i slutningen af det tolvte århundrede eller begyndelsen af det trettende århundrede i Mudejar-stil. Den orientalske stil kan også værdsættes i nøgternheden ved den udvendige udsmykning, som er det modsatte af det smukke udsmykning, der findes i dets indre.

The tour to Toledo with pick up at the hotel was excellent. Our pontial, helpful and kind driver also provided information about Madrid. The vehicle clean and with water supply. Our guide adapted the tour to our age, showed knowledge of Jewish history and we liked the synagogues visited, as well as the Toledo codade.
Javier was AMAZING! His family has been in Toledo for generations. He was so kind and knew everything there was to know about Toledo and its history. He shared so much information about the Jewish history of the area and we had a wonderful time with him!!
It was an amazing tour. Dani our guide was extremely be knowledgable and informative. We never had a dull moment. If we were going on this tour we would definitely ask for Dani.
Our tour guide Sonia was a delight and absolute highlight of our trip! She was able to engage our very diverse family on many different levels. She also was also incredibly, sensitive and able to contextualise the very beautiful and complicated history of Jewish life in Spain in deep and relevant ways. I would recommend this tour in general and Sonia specifically as a priority to any Jewish family visiting Toledo.
Sonia was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable, highly intelligent and knew the answers to every question we asked. She is a true scholar and also the sweetest person. My family learned so much from her and she really made Toledo such a memorable experience. Recommend her 1000 percent!
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.
Javier,our guide, was was very personable, professional , competent and explained the sites in a clear historical context. He was well versed in the religious symbols, holidays and practices. He was attentive to our physical capabilities and needs. He exceeded our expectations .
Javi is an exceptional tour guide. His history with Toledo runs deep, and he answered all our questions perfectly. 11/10 I would always recommend him and his family owned tour company if you are visiting Toledo
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.
