Great day in Toledo - Our tour guide did a fabulous job from start to finish. We learnt a great deal about Toledo and loved the Cathedral and other monuments we visited as well as the streets. The town was decorated to celebrate Corpus Christi which added to our experience. The tour was sold as a door to door pick up but this was not the case and we needed to go to meeting point and catch train. 20 euros each was refunded by company. Full day tour purchased however guide showed us Toledo and Cathedral and a few monuments the gave us bracelet for other attractions then returned to Madrid to collect another tour group.

Majed, our guide in Toledo - Majed was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. He speaks 7 languages and is recognized by all the shop owners in town. He guided us through the narrow streets, inside the main churches, and even showed us where to eat the best local dish. He purchased marzipan for all of us to enjoy and recommended places to see in our free time. Thank you Majed for such a memorable day in Toledo.

See a little of everything since it was our first time in Spain - The views were very beautiful. The food was excellent and the atmosphere very familiar. And our tour guide Majed was the best tour guide we could have had. He explained everything in detail and everything was understood excellently.

Information domain - The MAJED resource is very well documented. It is a long and very well explained tour. You have to have food and drinks ready because there is no time left for anything. The very impressive city with all its history.

Lovely Toledo - Toledo was beautiful but very touristy. The monuments (historic sites) were definitely worth visiting. The coach was very comfortable. It was nice to have a bracelet for entry into so many sites. Our guide took us to a few sites and provided a little history regarding the sites. We then had a couple of hours to continue site seeing on our own. The only shortcomings were no water was provided, rest rooms were difficult to obtain, our guide doing the bare minimum but it was enough. Would I still recommend this tour? Yes.
