The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo is a Roman Catholic church and it is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo. The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain.

The Alcázar of Toledo is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Charles I (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor) and his son Philip II of Spain in the 1540s. In 1521, Hernán Cortés was received by Charles I at the Alcázar, following Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs. Most of the alcázar was rebuilt, or restored, between 1939 and 1957 after the Siege of the Alcázar of the Spanish Civil War.

Very good experience, loved the city and the guide Angy explained everything happily!
Angy was a great guide, perfect amount of free time
Very good tour of Toledo. Rachel, our guide, was very kind and told us a lot of interesting information about the city and its history. The only downside was the sword forging workshop, from which we expected a little more. Overall, a highly recommended experience.
Great experience with great guide

I liked the tour. We heard lots of interesting things. The summer is very hot, so I recommend to go in autumn or spring
Very good trip, everything was beautiful, come, the guides Alejandro and David were very good and kind
An excellent cost effective way to visit Toledo and learn about its history. Our guide was Jose, he was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Toledo. We enjoyed walking around the old town and were happy with our choice to do the 9 hour option, allowing us plenty of time to have lunch and explore without rushing.
