A Definite Must-Do Excursion - This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Spain and I would highly recommend! Very well organized and a great day trip from Madrid. Our family of 6 (including my teenager boys and my parents) enjoyed it equally. Our driver was lovely. Picked us up on time and drove us to Toledo where we met up with our guide Sagry, who was phenomenal. Very warm, personal, knowledgeable and passionate. We saw panoramic views of the city, and visited the oldest synagogue in Europe and beautiful cathedral, where we also had opportunity to see some of El Greco’s paintings. We have done many tours and this one definitely stood out. Thanks so much Sagry (and Pedro) for a fantastic experience in Toledo!

City of Three Religions - The Guide, Sagry from Toledo Insight, was exceptional. First, she ascertained our interests and tailored the tour to our group of 4. She has tremendous knowledge of Jewish history in Spain and has traveled to better understand the diaspora through Europe. The Driver, Adrián, was on time in a Mercedes SUV and managed the traffic on the return safely. Highly recommend this tour for first time Visitor to Toledo who are interested in the history of the “three religions”.

Only way to tour Toledo if you want to maximize your time. - If you are on a group land tour of Spain and want to visit Toledo when in Madrid, I recommend you spend the extra money for a private tour. A group tour on a large bus cannot traverse old Toledo and you must take a series of escalators up from the car park and then walk back down. As the tour takes 5 hours, two of those hours is the travel time between Madrid and Toledo. This leaves you closer to 3 hours to get to the old town and back to the car park. This means the actual tour of old Toledo is closer to 2+ hours. Having a van that can accommodate 6 means you get to spend a lot more quality time at the cathedral and synagogue. If you book a private tour, a driver will pick you up at your hotel in Madrid and a very capable licensed guide will provide the tour when you get to the old town.

Best tour guide in Toledo. - Where can I begin. We took a private 5 hr tour of this beautiful City we were timely picked up by Adrian at our hotel and comfortably driven to Toledo. The tour was spectacular and Our tour guide Sagry was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about this wonderful city and its history. On a personal note, I had a sore knee and She even went beyond her role as a guide by constantly accommodating me with areas to sit during the tour. She is truly a Gem and would recommend for anyone visiting Toledo.

Memorable day trip to Toledo - Our family of 6 adults loved our day trip to Toledo. Our competent driver, Pedro, picked us up at our hotel in Madrid and delivered us to Toledo where we met our lovely and professional guide Sagry. Sagry was very passionate and knowledgeable about her city and its history without overwhelming us with too much information. She was open to questions and gave thoughtful answers. We enjoyed our walk through the city and our visit to the ceramic shop and cathedral. A visit to this UNESCO world heritage site is worthwhile.

Didn't quite fit the bill - Sagry was our guide and she was great: very personable and engaging. She provided lots of history and gave us time to shop. I highly recommend her. The drawback is that when you factor transportation time into the trip, there really isn't enough time to do Toledo justice. The 5 hours they claim incudes nearly 2 hours of transportation. What you end up paying for is an expensive taxi service. For a tour like this, there should be time incorporated into it for lunch, pee breaks, and shopping, so I would shy away from this one unless you want a brief concentrated tour. The claimed 5 hours is really a bait and switch for a glorified taxi service. Sagry had another tour right after ours so she wows rushed. The driver was rushed and at the end, we had to leave in a hurry because he was going to charge if we stayed longer. So we picked up some to-go sandwiches. To top it off, he didn't allow us to eat or drink in the van even though we never had a formal meal stop. Also, it's now customary for these day tours to have cold water for the guests- it was >100F. They have some work to do to improve this one, especially for the price tag.
