Pass by: Toledo has had a wall from the Romans, which had to be rebuilt by the Visigoth King Wamba in 674. The current wall is of Arab origin where we can find some Roman remains. King Alfonso VI, is granted the completion of the works of the wall in 1085, after reconquering the city. Toledo has always had a great wall, well known throughout its history, taking center stage its entrance and exit doors, such as the Puerta de Bisagra, the Puerta de Alfonso VI or the Puerta del Cambrón.
The Plaza de Zocodover is a square of the city of Toledo. It was the nerve center of the city during most of its history, acting as its main square. A part of it was designed by Juan de Herrera in times of the reign of Felipe II

Traveler reviews
Outstanding Tour of Toledo with Oscar & Marisol
Oscar and Marisol from Fun & Tickets gave us an incredible experience touring Toledo. Marisol did an excellent job translating between Spanish for my girlfriend’s mom and English for me, which made the tour seamless and enjoyable for everyone. They did a fantastic job bringing Toledo’s history to life as we walked through the medieval streets, learning about the city’s Christian, Muslim, and Jewish heritage, its historic landmarks, and its role as Spain’s former capital. Oscar made the history engaging and easy to follow, while both of them kept the group organized and coordinated throughout the tour. The entire experience felt welcoming, informative, and very well run. It was an amazing value and one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. We would absolutely book with them again.
Toledo was great
This was a large group tour. It was difficult with the English and Spanish. It took a little away from the experience. However Toledo was beautiful. We would go again with a smaller group with just English. We spent a lot of time in the church. That wasn’t for us.
