Traveler reviews
It could have given a...
It could have given a little more detail on the itinerary. Had I realized that we would have a couple of hours of free time, I would not have added the tapas lunch. Also if I had known that lunch was going to be at the museum cafeteria, I would not have booked the lunch. I also would have preferred if the tour was just in English. It took longer for the tour guide to have to speak in Spanish and English the entire time.
Nice tour
The tour was very nice, the city is beautiful. The guide was very good and very informative.
Toledo in half a day
A bit short on time to visit shops and be able to compare and buy Toledo pieces
Nice city to see and walk through, very organized tour company. Confirm the tour is only in your selected language!
Overall good sight seeing tour, however we booked English and the tour guide did everything in Spanish then English, so half the time was wasted and it got a little annoying waiting through the Spanish part over and over for the whole day. Still a nice city, very organized, nice bus. Not sure if there wasn't enough English only bookings so they combined them, but still it soured the experience.
Half day inToledo,
A half-day in Toledo isn't exhausting and offers a very good overview, but it takes a full day to properly explore the cathedral, the bridges, and other sights at a leisurely pace. Clara, the tour guide, is very experienced and attentive.
