Itinerary
Emblematic Toledo square with market on Tuesdays, community events and tourist train.
The Church of Santo Tomé, is located in the city of Toledo, and has great importance for housing the work The Burial of the Lord of Orgaz
Beyond its concrete historical and artistic value, the Cathedral Church has a value and a theological significance as a reference for the pastoral life of the whole diocese, for priests and for the lay faithful. In addition, the cathedrals have been the forge place of our Western and European culture; they were the embryo of the current universities, they anticipated welfare work and they were art workshops. Today the cathedrals are witnesses of that culture and message of transcendence and values for the people of today.
Santa María la Blanca is a temple located in the Spanish city of Toledo. Built in 1180 as a synagogue and, having functioned as such for 211 years, it was expropriated and transformed into a church as a result of the pogrom of 1391. At present the building belongs to the Catholic Church, but there is no cult in it. It is open to the public and functions as a museum or center where both cultural and educational activities take place.

Traveler reviews
Smug indifference
We were excited to join this tour & I paid the $122+ for my son & I to participate. All communication said the tour begins at 9 am. We arrived at the determined spot only to be told that the bus was about to leave and that we were supposed to be there by 8:15-8:30. Nowhere in any of the communications I received mentioned this. The person behind the counter asked to see the voucher when I told them that there was nothing that told us what time to arrive. It took them a little bit to actually find it themselves. When I said I wanted a refund, they said I had to cancel 24 hours in advance. No apologies. No offer to have the bus wait for us. Just smug indifference. We have done over a dozen tours in multiple countries. In the cases where we couldn't find the group, the operator has called to direct us. In one case, we were too jetlagged & received a message to see if we were joining. We wound up rescheduling and paying for another night. For a tour operator, the lack of concern & wish to make things right means I will look closer at who is actually running the tour. Certainly will never go through this one again. The lack of professionalism for a hospitality based industry is unforgivable.
Great tour and tour guide in Toledo
Oscar was a fantastic tour guide. I have done dozens of tours in Spain, and he is one of the best. Mario also a great driver.
Excellent guided half-day trip to Toledo
Excellent job by the team of Oscar (the guide) and Pedro (the driver). Toledo is a unique place in the history of World culture, and the half-day trip highlighted most of its important elements. The presentation of our guide was in fluent Spanish and English and was at a very high intellectual level, full of important details that made every point that we visited memorable.
Great, no complaints.
The pickup at the meeting point was well organized, and the tour was relaxed.
Very nice tour
It was very nice and chill. The city was beautifully and it was a interesting tour. I would do it again.
