As we walk around Toledo Cathedral we will learn about the legends and stories associated with the city of the three cultures: Christians, Arabs and Jews lived together in a city with many secrets to discover.

Overall a very good tour. Just the right amount of time as the heat was intense.
Very informative tour through Toledo.
Overall, it was interesting, although I would have liked to be closer to very emblematic buildings in the city, such as the synagogues and the house of El Greco.
Juan was entertaining. However, his English was not as clear as I would have expected for an English language tour. It did not help that the quality of the audio equipment sound was poor
Toledo is rich with history and it’s also extremely noisy with buses, cars and people all jockeying for the same space - so we were very happy to be given small speakers that looped over one ear so that we could hear our guide as she regaled us with her stories of creation, life, destruction and rebirth. A great plan to experience all that Toledo has to offer is to start with this tour, and then plan the rest of your time based on what you learn in 90 minutes.
A very satisfying and recommended experience. We were a group of friends; the girl who accompanied us (I don't remember her name, but I do remember she was from Granada) seemed very nice and explained everything very well, and she was attentive at all times to ensure we did not suffer any falls or accidents. I would do it again.
I found it to be an enjoyable, fun visit, with concrete information... The guide, Carlos Medina, is amazing
Perfect introduction to Toledo Maria our guide was great. Very informative 5**** rating !!!!!!!!!!!!
We loved the tour, and our guide provided a good explanation about Toledo and its history from the Visigoths, Muslims, Jewish quarter, and the cathedral.
We were able to see all the noteworthy spots in Toledo. Carlos was a great tour guide. He took the time to answer all our questions and had a lot of knowledge about Toledo. You can tell he loves Toledo and enjoys sharing that with others.
