Toledo Private Tour with Licensed Guide and Driver from Madrid

This was an all around great tour and experience. Picked up on time and drove to Toledo from our hotel and then back after the tour in a private van with comfort and AC. Once in Toledo met up with Javi who also communicated with me beforehand to know what to expect. Javi was awesome and extremely knowledgeable, personable and an awesome tour guide. Javi allowed us to adjust the tour based on what we wanted as a family including stops for souvenirs, water breaks and bathroom stops. He also threw in a few unexpected places which he had access to that it seemed other tour guides did not. It was an awesome tour with an awesome guide and would highly recommend him and the tour for a trip to Toledo!!!

This was an excellent tour of Toledo. Well worth the money. We were picked up at our hotel in Madrid. Alberto was a friendly and excellent driver. The car was very, very comfortable as well. Once in Toledo, Javi was an amazing guide. He gave us such a rich and textured history of the region while showing us around. He allowed us the flexibility to see what we wanted but still pointed out all the important sites. El Greco’s masterpiece is a must see, in my opinion, but the Cathedral is a close second. The world’s tallest marzipan sculpture was also pretty fun 😊. Overall a very enjoyable day!

Javier (the driver) picked us up at our hotel and was very accommodating and friendly. Our car trip to Toledo felt seamless and was in a very comfortable vehicle. Javier (different person, our tour guide) met us in Toledo and provided an incredible tour experience. It was a 10/10. Javy is friendly, personable, and showed an encyclopedic knowledge about almost any part of the city that you asked about. He is very engaging and can talk about anything from Toledo's soccer team (I casually asked) to his family's deep history in the area. If you enjoy history and some of the finer details of a place you're visiting, he can be especially interesting. He also helped us find a good spot for lunch. You come to Toledo, and Javy brings Toledo to you. I would highly recommend this tour experience.

Our day trip to Toledo exceeded our expectations. Tour guide, Salome, was very knowledgeable and personable. The tour itself was well-organized, starting with a drive around the outskirts to provide some context and followed by a walking tour. We came away with a good understanding of the mix of Muslim, Jewish, and Catholic influences that shaped the history, architecture, and culture of Toledo. At the suggestion of Viator we made a lunch reservation at a nice restaurant, LaCalaba, which we would recommend highly. Our guide dropped us off and returned in an hour to pick us up to complete the tour. Compliments also go to our driver who was very congenial.

We were picked up by our driver Javier promptly at our lodging in a comfortable and clean van. Once we arrived to Toledo, we were met by our local guide Sonia who spent the day with us. Sonia was super knowledgeable and she was like a walking text book. She patiently answered all of our questions and told us a lot of interesting information about the places we visited. We visited the city gates, the Monastery, Jewish Quarters, the Synagogue, etc. Then we had a really delicious lunch at La Clandestine, highly recommend! After lunch, Sonia took us to the Cathedral and taught us a lot about its history. We ended our day after the Cathedral and Javier drove us back to Madrid. Overall, we were very happy with our tour today. The convenience of having our own private car and tour guide was essential to us when traveling with our parents. Thank you Sonia and Javier!

Our driver, Javier, was prompt, very easy to talk with and an incredibly safe driver. Our guide Dani (Daniel), was amazing! He is the 4th generation of his family living in Toledo and you can tell how proud he is of his hometown. We stopped across the river to get panoramic views of the city and the walls before starting our walking tour inside. Dani gave us so much great information during an easy-going and very enjoyable walk around Toledo. We covered the city and never felt rushed or overdone. The pace, history, and conversation was all wonderful. Dani was even kind enough to make a lunch reservation for us at Manjera for when the tour ended. We had amazing food inside the stone cellar of a 16th century home. After lunch we shopped a little and then texted Javi to come meet us and take us back to Madrid. We booked the 8-hour tour - 2 hours of driving time, 3 hour walking tour and up to 3 hours of free time for lunch and shopping. It was a very warm day so we ended up leaving after only 2 hours of free time. It was so nice to be able to leave when we were ready rather than wait for an hour in the heat to get on a bus. We really enjoyed our day and absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting got visit Toledo from Madrid.

Amazing! Highly recommend. It was perfect for me, my wife, and two teens. Private tour is the way to go. Sonia was the best. Super knowledgeable, engaging and a great fit.

Sonia and Javier were fantastic tour guides. Highly recommend using them. They were very knowledgeable and their hospitality was warming.

This was our first trip to Toledo and Javier picked us up promptly in Madrid. Our guide, Fernando, was a wealth of knowledge pertaining to art, architecture and history with a sense of humor to add to it! He was both approachable and engaging. We especially enjoyed his interact analysis of El Greco’s The Burial of Count Orgaz. By the end of the day, we had nicknamed him “the major” because he was so popular with the locals! If you want to dig a little deeper regarding the history Toledo during your visit there, book this tour. You will not be disappointed!

An absolute must. Havi was phenomenal. The way he personalized our tour was next level service. Guiding us through Toledo’s rich history via his personal experience as a local resident coupled with education. This tour was worth every penny!
