Está considerada uno de los ejemplos más notables de plazas porticadas castellanas. Los edificios que la rodean constan de elementos de madera vista, contabilizándose un total de 234 balcones. Goza de una protección integral de grado 11 y hace las veces de coso taurino. Las balconadas están pintadas de color verde, aunque en el pasado habrían lucido uno azul. Aquí está incluído el tiempo que tardaremos para trasladarnos de un sitio a otro
Fue erigido por orden de Felipe II, quien le encomendó el proyecto al arquitecto Juan Bautista de Toledo, que murió durante su construcción, por lo que su discípulo Juan de Herrera fue el encargado de rematar la obra. Durante todo el siglo XVII se paró la obra, hasta que en tiempos de Fernando VI se acomete una importante ampliación, que continuará Carlos III dotándolo de unas alas que encierran el patio de armas, tal y como se puede contemplar hoy en día.

La catedral de Santa María, llamada también catedral primada de España, es un templo católico de arquitectura gótica en Toledo. Su construcción comenzó en 1226 bajo el reinado de Fernando III el Santo y las últimas aportaciones góticas se dieron en siglo XV cuando en 1493 se cerraron las bóvedas de los pies de la nave central, en tiempos de los Reyes Católicos.

Very good service, the driver Luis is attentive to whether you are hot, he looks for the passenger's comfort and the guide Alejandro as well, he answers all the questions you have and looks for your comfort, I highly recommend it. 10 out of 10
The guide José Luis was very good and kind
"YellowTours" was the worst agency that has served me after having traveled to more than 40 countries. The audio guides were old and did not work. The first guide abandoned the group in a city to meet up with the second guide, three hours after the scheduled return time. The second guide left the group in a different place than indicated on the voucher and, furthermore, claimed that it was TripAdvisor's fault for not having correctly reported the meeting point. Although there were only 7 of us at the start of the tour, the guide Alejandro would leave some members behind and say that he would answer questions later, with the whole group gathered, because he did not like repeating information. The second guide Ofelia argued with several clients, demonstrating a lack of preparation for a role that should offer tourists a memorable, safe, and professional experience. YellowTours is a terrible, pathetic, and totally disappointing agency. I do not recommend it.
Nice Excursion, guide Alejandro had taken attention to everything.
It was super good and very fun Alejandro
Dazzling surroundings of Madrid Excellent, the guide Alejandro and driver Mikhail!
We had a small group of 6 and our guide Tamara did a great job speaking English and Spanish. All 3 stops were enjoyable, particularly Aranjuez where the Palace is magnificent and far less crowded than Madrid. There was an option for lunch at Aranjuez. At Toledo there was plenty of free time and we joined with another larger bus to return to Madrid.
Angy our tour guide was EXCELLENT! 😁A++ She was very kind towards my family and very accommodating . The tour was excellent - descriptive thru all the 3 cities.
100% recommendable, pleasant, and reliable tour, excellent tour guide [Angy]
Useful excursion to visit three of the most touristic places of the CAM. In Aranjuez, we only visited the Royal Palace and in Toledo we had four hours to tour the city in our own air. Return a little late, if you take into account the entry holds to Madrid capital on a Sunday afternoon.
