A no-hassle way to experience a foreign land
Excellent value for the money. Efficient use of time too. I only had 1 free day on an international business trip and booked this half day excursion. It was the perfect way to easily see a beautiful landmark which would have been difficult on my own (with no car or knowledge of the city or site).

Short shifted
We were told it was 3 hours in Toledo with an hour drive each way for the 1/2 tour. It took us 2 hours to get from Madrid to Toledo and we only had 2 hours in Toledo. This was not what we paid for!
