Description
Discover the “City of the Three Cultures” by yourself!
Located 70 km away from Madrid is Toledo, a beautiful city-museum declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is one of the oldest towns in Europe and has a great artistic beauty and buildings from almost all periods in history (Arabian, Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque style). Toledo is called the “City of the Three Cultures”, since Christians, Muslims and Jews lived together. In the XVI century, it was also the place of residence of the great painter El Greco.
Once in Toledo, you will arrange your day in Toledo as you like. 1 hour guided walking tour in Toledo is included.
Return to Madrid from Toledo at 16:00 pm, the meeting point in Toledo for returning will be in front of the Restaurant Hacienda del Cardenal (Pº de Recaredo 24), close to Puerta de Bisagra. We will make a Panoramic bus tour and stop at Mirador del Valle for taking pictures.

Self-Guided Toledo Day Trip from Madrid with Panoramic Train
Itinerary
Admission included50 min
On this tour you can enjoy a tour of approximately 50 min. by the outside of the city. The train will make a stop at the viewpoint of the Valley, where we can enjoy a splendid panoramic view of the city of Toledo.
Synagogue Of Saint Mary The White
Admission not included40 min
This Mudéjar construction was built in 1180. It has five naves separated by pillars supporting horseshoe arches. In the 15th century it was converted into a church, although today it is simply a monument which is open to visitors. It has a coffered wooden ceiling, Plateresque altars and an altarpiece by the school of Berruguete.
Iglesia de Santo Tome
Admission not included40 min
The parish church must have been founded after the Christian Reconquista of the city by Alfonso VI in 1085, as the first news that we have of its existence is from 1142. From the first Mudejar building, it has kept the large multifoil arch superimposed upon the main arch that separates the main nave from the presbytery together with the sturdy buttresses of this part of the nave and a small trefoil arch on a brick frieze arranged in Mudejar style that survives in the high part in what used to be the semicircular sanctuary of the original single nave church.
Catedral Primada
Admission not included60 min
The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo is a Roman Catholic church in Toledo, Spain. It is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo
Alcazar de Toledo
Admission not included60 min
It is today the site of the city's Army Museum. Its construction dates from Roman times. During the reigns of Alfonso VI and Alfonso X 'the Wise' it was rebuilt and became the first example of a square fortress with towers on the corners. It was once again rebuilt under Emperor Charles V, on this occasion by the architect Alonso de Covarrubias. The façades are Renaissance in style, and it has towers and crenellated defences according to a preliminary design by Alonso de Covarrubias, subsequently completed by Juan de Herrera. After the last reconstruction it became the site of the Army offices and museum.

Definitely worth it
It was great day with our awesome guide Beatrice. She was so friendly, organized and knowledgeable. She even offered to go with someone that wanted to see more of the Cathedral in their free time after the guided portion of the day. We really enjoyed the day and it was reasonably priced.

Overbooked
The tour company overbooked. We were the last two standing with one seat left on the bus. After 30 confusing minutes they took a single rider off the bus and we boarded, sitting at opposite ends of the coach. Very poor organization and communication.
Operator response
Dear Greg,
We are sorry for the few minutes boarding time delay. There were two means of transport, and one traveler was booked in the second one. This was clarified at the soonest. We apologize for any inconvenience that this initial confusion caused you.
With kind regards,

OK Trip to Toledo Avoiding Independent Train Travel
We had spent nights in Toledo before.Tour guide recommended that we do not do the Tourist Train, but to do her tour, so we paid 20 euros each extra to do so. Problem was we were constantly on the move with little time to take photos other than the designated stops. We felt rushed and we had no intention of having lunch, but we would not have had time anyway. I would call this a non stop whirlwind tour of Toledo, and would recommend seeing the Alcazar rather than the Synagogue, which was not really much to see. Also, the area where we were let loose for lunch was isolated with not many choices to eat.
Operator response
Dear William,
You bought our Toledo Full day on your own with a panoramic tour in the Tourist Train of Toledo.
Given that you were already doing a bus panoramic tour with us, our guide gave you the option to upgrade your tour visiting 2 other monuments with the group, instead of doing the train panoramic tour, and you agreed with this. The 20 euros you paid was for the ticket to the cathedral with an inside guided tour.
We are sorry that you regret to have made that choice and that you would have preferred to have enjoyed more free time on your own.
The Synagogue you visited is a National Monument, and one of the highlights of the city.
We agree with you
that the Alcazar is also very interesting, specially for those people interested in the military history as it’s the Museum of the Army.
Our tour stopped for lunch in an area with a few restaurants and shops for our travelers to choose the one they prefer.
It’s great that you spent some nights in Toledo before. It’s always worthy to get back and staying overnight.
Thanks for joining our tour.
Best regards,
Fun and Tickets Team
