Traveler reviews
Laura Sànchez - Absolutely Outstanding!
Your tour guide is everything! What a wonderful tour guide Laura Sànchez turned out to be. Professional, knowledgeable, funny - great sense of humor, and great story teller. Unlike our previous guides who were adept at their local regions, Laura possessed a broad base of insight across much of Spain. It was just terrific having her as our guide. Would love to have her again should the situation arise. Thank you Laura. Warmest wishes in your next journeys.
Great Outing.
Holy Toledo! As Danny Thomas would say. Train was on time, souvenir shops were open and lunch-time cafes were full. Eat first, tour later!
Toledo by train
Great experience to Toledo. Meet near the trains station in Madrid and just a quick train ride to beautiful Toledo. Cristina was friendly and knowledgeable. There is plenty of free time to discover this beautiful ancient town.
