Damasquinados Suarez Workshop offers an unforgettable journey into the world of damascene art, a centuries old craft brought from Damascus and perfected in Spain.

Our walking tour starts at the iconic Plaza de Zocodover, the heart of Toledo since Arab times. This triangular square, once a bustling marketplace, showcases centuries of history through its porticoed buildings. As we delve deeper into Toledo's medieval streets, we'll pause at the Well of El Salvador and traverse the picturesque Balaguer Passage. We'll admire the majestic Toledo City Hall and proceed to the Town Hall Square, where the city's political, religious, and judicial powers converge. The tour culminates at the magnificent Gothic Cathedral, a masterpiece of Spanish Gothic architecture dominating Toledo's skyline.

This tour was not up to the usual Viator quality! We were constantly being handed over to different guides…..the actual walking tour was VERY SHORT and really did not cover as much history as they usually do. After this brief tour, the guide told us that we had free time——however there was no mention of how to access the area where we had tickets for the Zipline. When asked about when we would be heading there…..we were told it’s on the map and it will tak about 20 minutes to get there. SERIOUSLY! We paid for a guided trip and the Zipline was as part of the package. A real letdown. If there were guides available to trot people thru the El Greco Museum and the Cathedral! We were instructed to meet at the drop off/pickup point at 1615. For an unidentified reason, the bus did not depart until approx 1700. Overall, this was a most disappointing tour and the tour company operating it do not match Viator tour standards!
In the full day trip, the walking tour of toledo is hardly an hour, the rest is free tie with no guidance given on where to spend time or visit. I had taken a ricket with zipline but was told it was hardly 10 sec and not worth it. I should actually be given back the amount i paid for the zipline. There are places yo see, but you need to explore yourself, not much od a tour
A quick, fun activity in Toledo. You walk to the bottom of the city and zip line across the river. Then you walk back across the bridge to give them your stuff back. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. We felt safe and had fun. Only problem was how to get back up the hill. So do it at the end of the day when you are ready to leave Toledo!
It was very nice heading out. Very organized. The tour guide was very nice and very passionate. But if you book the zipline, you need to ask them where the “fly” is they don’t know the word zip line. Also, you must note that the zip line is a long walk from where the guy drops you off after the tour. Lastly, getting home was so unorganized. They should’ve had the same people on the same buses rather than just having people lineup randomly and getting on the bus., it was chaotic.
Was a little confusing and disorganized with half and full day options. There didn’t seem to be a dedicated English speaking guide. This seemed an afterthought even though we booked an English speaking tour.
The views, squares, streets and places are the best, the bars are super nice and the food is delicious.
Toledo, a city that deserves the renown it has. I took the tourist bus and got off several times for visits.
It seems terrible to me that the money is not refunded even for illness. They tell me that I can do the activity another day but they don't respond again for that.
