Resplan
Den gamla staden Toledo förklarades av UNESCO som en världsarvstad sedan 1986. På vår turné kommer vi att gå längs gator och torg fulla av historia, och demonstrerar den rika rikedom och prakt i den gamla huvudstaden i Spanien, staden allmänt känd som “City of Three Cultures”
De äldsta skriftliga dokument som vi har från judar i Toledo är från 300-talet, under romartiden, även om det är möjligt att de etablerat sig i staden innan dess. På vår turné kommer vi att gå genom de smala gatorna i det gamla judiska kvarteret och besöka de viktigaste monumenten och underjordiska arkeologiska lämningarna som gjorde detta judiska kvarter till ett av de viktigaste i Europa.
El Tránsito-synagogen, även känd som synagogen av Samuel Leví, byggdes efter att kung Peter I's kassör beordrade byggandet 1355. Även om byggandet av nya synagogor inte tilläts vid den tiden, var att godkänna dess konstruktion kung Peter I's sätt att tacka det judiska samfundet för att ha stöttat honom i kriget mot sin bror Enrique de Trastámara. Inuti synagogen kan vi beundra det otroliga bönrummet dekorerat med rikt gipsverk och National Museum of Sephardic Culture.
Synagogen Santa María la Blanca, var en av de elva synagogerna som stod i Toledo fram till slutet av det fjortonde århundradet. Detta är en av de äldsta i Europa och byggdes i slutet av det tolfte århundradet eller början av det trettonhundratalet i Mudejar-stil. Den orientaliska stilen kan också uppskattas i nykterheten i den yttre dekorationen, som är den motsatta av den vackra prydnaden som finns i dess inre.

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.
