Dilya is an excellent Spanish guide.

I have no words to describe how magical this tour was. We did the tour in Spanish with Dilya. It is very comfortable because they take you in a bicycle and you don't suffer as much from the heat. Tickets are not included, they are paid separately. It's so worth it. Dilya made our visit a delight. He has lived in Toledo and speaks very well. Historical details, legends... a 10 for her. They came to pick us up at the hotel in an air-conditioned car.
