Toledo is wonderful - The description of having i guide for 1h is not correct, but it did not impact the tour. Arriving in Toledo we received the bracelets to enter the attractions and we made the route in our time, seeing about 8 points of interest, in addition to strolling in shops.

Nice well organized trip - We were a group of 10 people and decided to do the selfguided tour because some of our group don’t speak english or spanish. We went on a bus with people who booked the guided tour. After arriving in Toledo the lovely guide gave us our wristband and a map to the 7 monuments. We had 4 hours on our own which was enough to see all the monuments. Afterwards the bus took us back to Madrid. Overall a good option to see a lot and to spend a well organized day trip to Toledo.

Don't Miss Toledo! - I joined the regular tour for the bus ride from Madrid to Toledo. The bus was very comfortable. Once in Toledo the tour guide gave me a map and some suggested places to visit while I was there, along with an audio tour of the sites. Then I broke off from the tour and spent the day on my own. I had a great time seeing the sites on my own schedule. I'm sure I missed some interesting historical information by being on my own but at the same time I was able to visit a couple of historical sites that the tour group didn't have time for. I met the tour group at the assigned location later in the day and rode the bus home with them. Great day! And the tour group leader answered questions I had about things I'd seen while I'd been on my own. I recommend this tour either with the group or on your own.

Freedom to walk - Very good, you are given a bracelet to enter 7 important monuments of Toledo and you go to your own air and rest whenever you want and visit those you are really interested in. Although it is unguided most of the way, in each monument there are explanations and audio guides.

A town worth spending more time exploring. - The bus ride from Madrid to Toledo was very comfortable and shorter than we expected. Our tour guide, Arantxa, who was extremely nice and dynamic, made it quite interesting along the way and while we were there. Event though we signed up for the tour on our own, she guided us though the first few stops of the city. I wish we would have stayed longer, though, as there is so much to see in this city. Definitely going back next year!

Go with full guided tour or don’t go with this tour - I booked the non guided tour and they try to convince everyone in the morning to do the guided tour if you had not booked it. We did not do that and so we were essentially on our own except for drop off and meetup for return trip. I expected some more engagement with the group but it was essentially just an over priced bus ride to Toledo. I did feel like a bit of an outcast on the bus as everyone else was in the guided tour. In my opinion they should only offer 1 full guided tour option. My recommendation is to either do the full guided tour or don’t do this activity and just book regular transportation to Toledo. Also. My wife got sick overnight and was not able to make it and so was just my self and 2 kids who continued on the tour. I mentioned this to Viator and asked if I could even get a partial refund since we are still continuing with 3 of the 4 but they were not flexible at all. Having said all that, I do understand the policy of no cancellation inside 24hrs. Overall I did have fun with my kids but was not due to anything this tour provided.

Less exploration time than expected - While this advertises as an independent exploration of Toledo, it is not for a large portion of the time. Our guide did not buy our site passes until after she had upsold much of the group to a guided tour and we had to wait for everyone else to take a 35 minute "bathroom break" for her to go get the passes. We asked her for our passes earlier so we could go explore solo as promised but she said she didn't have them. Having to wait for everyone else for the first portion of the trip negated the benefit of exploring solo, as was advertised. This left us without enough time to see many of the sites our pass was for. We ended up waiting for the slowest members of the group and the guide, which is what we hoped to avoid. Not having to worry about scheduling our own train back and forth was nice, but ultimately that convenience was minimized by how much time we lost.
