    Travellers Talk

    • Visitors talking about this tour on Viator and Getyourguide are, over all, very happy with the half-day tour, though most people do wish they had booked the full-day tour to give them more time to fully enjoy the stunning city!
    • There have been a few reports of unengaged guides speaking from rote or forgetting to speak in English when faced with mostly Spanish tourists on the trip, but the majority of people say their tour was well organised and their guide was very informative, friendly and spoke great English.
    • People have described the tour as 'A good introduction to the historic city of Toledo. " and 'Short but Amazing!'
    • Some visitors were disappointed they didn't have time to explore the city on their own and complained that there was no scheduled time to stop and buy souvenirs

    Best Times to Visit

      Visit Toledo off-season to enjoy less-crowded streets. Generally the morning tour sees less crowded streets than the afternoon tour.
