This trip was very well planned, and the tour guide was excellently prepared and had lots of interesting information to share. No problems at all, very punctual, good value for money. The only thing I didn’t like was a quick stop at a metal workshop/gold workshop. In theory it would have been interesting to see how the jewelry is made, but that presentation didn’t even last for 5 min before we were ushered into a sales room where we could purchase jewelry. No one forced anything onto us, and I was able to just sit, use the restroom, and wait for the others to buy earrings etc., but it didn’t seem as genuine as the rest of the tour. Other than that, I really liked the tour and will book with them again.

The guides were super attentive. The bus came 10 minutes before the start of our trip. Be prepared for a fast jog around the cities. The guide explained everything in the best way possible. We took the Toledo and Segovia tour. We had a great time and when the trip ended we were super tired so try to have the whole day available for the trip with nothing else planned.

Our tour guide, Rafael was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the sites in both languages Spanish and English. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend visiting Toledo as part of travel planning to Madrid.

Absolutely fantastic. Nacho was very knowledgeable and amazing. We really enjoyed the tour and we’re exhausted by the end of it! Would high recommend this tour

It was an amazing experience. Toledo and Segovia are towns that you must visit if you are in Madrid.
