Spend more but follow the guide

We did the tour without a guide but the bus guide did not give the most important information that was where we are on the map. To there the q to return to a meeting point without knowing where it was on the map. That was tense. Everything else was very good.

Traslado Madrid-Toledo

I hired only the transfer to Toledo Civitatis company who outsourced with Trandporte Julia. because the excursion was 55€ c/u while the transfer only 15 and we were 3 pax. The beginning of it without problem with an experienced guide, very old, cultured and respectful but with Very bad ways to those who will only hire the transfer and not the full tour. Arrived in Toledo we descended all passengers staying as a meeting point in the same place five hours later. My surprise was that at the time and place indicated neither the microphone nor the guide were present. That is where my concern began but then the microphone became present with all the passengers of the tour and the guide. They obviously changed YOUR meeting point without notifying us in any way and if they do The way they work, they should notify tourists. Cheers.

iVenture Card

We booked this tour as one of the activities you could choose after purchasing the i Venture Madrid card. For an extra charge of 20€p.P we booked the half day tour with guide. Organization was good. Circumference mediocre. Driving around by bus, short stops to take pictures and shopping at predetermined gift shops. Routes that had to be run resulted in delays in the entire process, as the rather elderly audience struggled somewhat with steps and gradients. The guide was extremely difficult to understand for someone who has upscale English skills but is not a native speaker due to the strong accent and high speech speed. I would recommend young people to choose the free tour.

Both OK tours...3 stars is generous.

The first part of the tour which is Madrid is a joke. They take you to a few streets for like 2 hours and that's it. Total waste of time. Don't take the Madrid tour. The second part Toledo is better. It is a beautiful city and the tour is very informative and interesting; however, I have never seen a tour guide more disinterested than this guy Jorge. My god, we had to put coins in him to get him to move or talk. He could not care less if someone fell behind, or had questions, or anything. He was checked out. I think he has been doing this for over 20 years so he was fed up. Time for him to retire and allow new people to take over. Overall an OK tour.I would not highly recommend it.
