The walking tour we took was a wonderful introduction to the city from an exterior perspective from our arrival viewing the three gates then the intertwining into the city center hitting all the highlights and historic sites. We felt like we on local walk with an experienced guide as we were able to navigate the right city streets and crowded squares with ease. The Jewish quarter was our purpose to why we had the tour the city and we walked the Jewish quarter and received a great historical account of the religious interactions and how it’s affected modern day residents. Overall a great experience

Sagry met us at the train station, a bonus! She provided us with a great overview of Toledo and wonderful context of the town. Visiting the sights and walking the town, she gave us so much information we would not have had from a book. She adjusted the tour to our interests and answered all of our questions. Very knowledgable about history and religions! She also recommended a lunch place and gave us great directions on how to get back to the train station.

Saygry was an excellent guide in every aspect. Her knowledge of the historical, architectural, and cultural lives of the Sephardic Jews was deep. We traveled through the Jewish quarter and one was transported back to historical times. Moreover her knowledge of the Romen, Islamic and Spanish history was equally deep. She took her time and responded to all my questions. We even stopped at an artisanal marzipan bakery and she bought me a box. A comprehensive tour. Highly recommended!
Thanks a lot Barbara for your lovely words. Deep Jewish private tour in Toledo. I also enjoyed quite a lot guiding you, not only cause you are pretty kind but also because I could feel you were so happy knowing how Sephardic Jews lived in Toledo. Thanks for choosing Toledo Insight as a company and Sagry as a guide.
Sagry was a wonderful, knowledgeable and lovely tour guide. We visited Toledo on January 1st where the main sites are closed which Sagry had reached out to me in advance to suggest that we change our date but unfortunately we were not able to because of our travel schedule. Despite the closures and very cold weather, Sagry did a great job explaining the Jewish history and broader Toledo history to us and brought it to life. She was accommodating and an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with.
Rochelle, Thanks for taking the time to write the review for Toledo Insight. We made together a great job, cause it was pretty cold and the monuments were closed. Thanks for choosing Toledo Insight as a company and Sagry as a guide
It was a wonderful and informative tour of Toledo, learning about its Jewish history. We visited on January 1st when we couldn’t get into any of the sites (as a result of our travel schedule), but Sagry managed to ensure that the tour interesting and enjoyable for us. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable and absolutely lovely.
Thank you Rochelle, Thanks for coming even when the monuments were closed. I’m so hoppy to hear you had a great time and you learnt and felt how Jews lived in Sefarad. It was pretty cold, so thanks again for visiting us choosing Toledo Insight. I hope to see you soon
One of the best tours I have ever been on! Sagry did an amazing job calibrating the information she shared to the interests of the group and adapting the stops along the way to suit what we wanted to see. She is a font of knowledge and super skilled at pacing the tour (even on a chilly December morning) to keep us excited, surprised, and delighted. P.s. It was so sweet to see Sagry bump into friends/neighbors along the way, helping to give a sense of the community here in Toledo.
Thank you, Pedro: I truly appreciate your kind words. It was a real pleasure guiding you and seeing you enjoy everything Toledo has to offer. My goal is for all my clients to have a wonderful experience on a private tour, always tailored to their needs. A big hug, Sagry
