Resplan
Njut av och utforska staden i de tre kulturerna och samexistensen av de judiska, moriska och kristna i århundraden.
Primate-katedralen Saint Mary of Toledo är en romersk-katolsk och är platsen för Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo. Toledos katedral är en av de tre 1200-talets hög gotiska katedralerna i Spanien och anses, enligt vissa myndigheter, vara den magnum opus för den gotiska stilen i Spanien.
Den judiska kvarteren, den bäst bevarade i Europa
Klostret San Juan de los Reyes är ett kloster i Isabelline-stil som byggdes av de katolska monarkerna under XV-talet. Detta kloster grundades av kung Ferdinand II av Aragonien och drottningen Isabella I av Kastilien för att fira både födelsen av deras son, prins John och deras seger i slaget vid Toro (1476) över armén av Afonso V i Portugal.
Synagogen Santa María la Blanca, ursprungligen känd som Ibn Shushan-synagogen, är ett museum och tidigare synagoge. Uppfördes 1180, enligt en inskription på en balk, anses det anses vara den äldsta synagogebyggnaden i Europa som fortfarande står. Det ägs och bevaras nu av den katolska kyrkan.
Moskén i Cristo de la Luz är en tidigare moské och det är en av de tio som fanns i staden under den moriska perioden. Byggnaden var då känd som Mezquita Bab-al-Mardum och härledde sitt namn från stadsporten Bab al-Mardum. Det ligger nära Puerta del Sol, i ett område i staden som en gång kallades Medina där rika muslimer brukade leva.

Interesting site. Bus was half hour late, we missed the 1800 cut off to go into the cathedral as a result. The air conditioning was set uncomfortably cold and we could not stop the airflow. As a result I now have a sinus infection. Also the USB was not working so we could not charge our phones. Our guide was great but his command of English was poor. As a result I had a number of questions but the people speaking Spanish kept interrupting us.
Fantastic experience for a quick visit to Toledo. ( Did half day tour) Bus left and returned on time. No side excursions to gift shops. Both our chaperone on bus ride and local guide ( Maria) were excellent. No issues with language barrier. Very informative but would recommend full day tour if want to tour cathedral, grab lunch and have more time to explore this historical treasure.

Charming historic city.Home to the great painter,El Greco,who worked there in the 16C,and many of whose masterpieces can be seen there We were unlucky in that we missed the interior of the Alcatraz,the citadel fort.Closed for refurbishment. The town is stunningly situated at a bend in the river Tagus.There are many good restaurants and tapas bars.Stay at the Boutique Hotel Adolfo,Only 12 rooms so book in advance.The hotel is in the historic heart of the city,at Zocadavar Plaza.
Dear John, First of all, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. We wish you a happy day. Best regards, Express Toledo Customer Service Team.
We almost missed the bus at 9:00 in the morning because in the instructions it said that it made a stop in the Banka Espana metro but ultimately meant that it was the nearest metro stop. We called before 9:00 for clarification but the office is open at 9:00. Finally 09:03 someone picked it up and told them to wait for us together with another couple who had understood the same thing. Generally a relaxed quick (about 1 hour) tour of Toledo and then free time.
The entrance to Toledo is spectacular!!!! The organization and quality of the first-rate guides, always friendly.
Estimado Cliente, Primero agradecerle el tiempo invertido en dejar su comentario. Nos congratula saber que ha disfrutado de su experiencia con nosotros. Deseamos que tenga un feliz día. Un saludo, El equipo de Atención al cliente de Express Toledo.
Toledo on your own pace was not “on your own pace”. Obligatory sword shop killed an hour of valuable time. Two stops for photos also ate into valuable exploration time.
Hi Dean_K., We really appreciate your comments. Tourist loves the stop at the sword factory, perhaps we have to reduce the time and this is the first time we receive a complaint to stop to admire the impressive views of Toledo with the Tagus river. We thank you for your comments.
The bus to Toledo was crowded. We arrived 30 minutes early and still were the last three on the first bus. None of us got to sit together. My seat mate took a bit more than her share and the ride was uncomfortable. The bus tour of Toledo was interesting and we saw things we hadn’t seen on previous trips. The city was crowded with other groups and sets with earphones were needed as it was difficult to hear the guide over other groups. The walking tour of Toledo was also interesting and the guide was clearly knowledgeable and tried to get the group involved. When it came time to split off for those who had paid for the Cathedral guided tour, the guide did not have our information. After a brief discussion, she said she would take care of us. Later she acknowledged that we did have reservations, but that they hadn’t accessed all of the reservation apps that make reservations with them. Happily, Susana did a fabulous job of the cathedral tour. After free time for shopping and lunch we went down to meet the bus. The buses were almost on time. The organizer checked us in and we were able to sit together on the way back to Madrid. The organizer came aboard and told us that there would be two stops in Madrid. One at the Neptune fountain where we had boarded and the other on the Grand Via near the Puerta del Sol and the Plaza Mayor. This information was incorrect as we were dropped off on the back side of the Riu Hotel on the Plaza de España. Many of the guests were angry as we were nowhere near the section of the Grand Via that was close to the Puerta del Sol It was late afternoon and very hot so we had to find a taxi to take us back to the Puerta del Sol area. Just a few things marred an otherwise good tour.
Hi Thank you very much for your comments and apologies for this inconvenience. I hope you have enjoyed in guided visit to the Primate Cathedral and the rest of the tour. We will also ask for information about the drop off point. It sounds estrange, anyway apologies.
Great tour, comfortable bus with AC, panoramic tour was good, you stop to take amazing pictures. The tour was good but it did no show the mosque of Christ of the light or the synagogue so had to go see them ourselves on the free time given, but in the description for the tour it mentioned we would pass by them. So would be good if the tour included that.
Hi Anna_K Thanks for your comments which help us to improve day a day.
The tour was a god value for the price. It included a round trip ride and walking tour. The guide was friendly and informative, and it was nice having some free time to explore Toledo on your own.
Thanks for your comments. The information you provide us about guides is helpful to improve our tours
