Itinerario
La vecchia città di Toledo è stata dichiarata dall'UNESCO Patrimonio dell'Umanità dal 1986. Durante il nostro tour, cammineremo lungo strade e piazze piene di storia, dimostrando la pura ricchezza e lo splendore della vecchia capitale della Spagna, la città comunemente nota come "La città delle tre culture"
I documenti scritti più antichi che abbiamo degli ebrei di Toledo risalgono al IV secolo, in epoca romana, anche se è possibile che si siano stabiliti in città prima di allora. Durante il nostro tour, cammineremo per le stradine del vecchio quartiere ebraico, visitando i principali monumenti e resti archeologici sotterranei che hanno reso questo quartiere ebraico uno dei più importanti d'Europa.
La sinagoga di El Tránsito, conosciuta anche come la sinagoga di Samuel Leví, fu costruita dopo che il tesoriere del re Pietro I ne ordinò la costruzione nel 1355. Sebbene la costruzione di nuove sinagoghe non fosse consentita in quel momento, approvare la sua costruzione fu il modo di ringraziare il re Pietro I la comunità ebraica per averlo sostenuto nella guerra contro suo fratello Enrique de Trastámara. All'interno della sinagoga, possiamo ammirare l'incredibile sala di preghiera decorata con ricchi stucchi e il Museo Nazionale di Cultura Sephardica.
La sinagoga di Santa María la Blanca, fu una delle undici sinagoghe che rimasero a Toledo fino alla fine del XIV secolo. Questo è uno dei più antichi d'Europa ed è stato costruito alla fine del XII secolo o all'inizio del XIII secolo in stile mudéjar. Lo stile orientale può anche essere apprezzato nella sobrietà della decorazione esterna, che è l'esatto opposto del bellissimo ornamento trovato al suo interno.

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.
