Highlights
- Casco Historico de Toledo - You will enjoy it with our guided walking and at your own pace
- Alcazar de Toledo - The Alcázar of Toledo is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Charles I (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor) and his son Philip II of Spain in the 1540s. In 1521, Hernán Cortés was received by Charles I at the Alcázar, following Cortes’ conquest of the Aztecs. Most of the alcázar was rebuilt, or restored, between 1939 and 1957 after the Siege of the Alcázar of the Spanish Civil War.
- Catedral Primada - The Primate Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo is a Roman Catholic church and it is the seat of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toledo.
The cathedral of Toledo is one of the three 13th-century High Gothic cathedrals in Spain and is considered, in the opinion of some authorities, to be the magnum opus of the Gothic style in Spain.

Well organized bus and walking tour - This is a well organized bus trip from Neptune fountain Madrid to Toledo. There is a drive around the perimeter with beautiful views, then drop off at the escalators for a walking tour in English. We walk slowly and skipped the tour but I heard it hit all the highlights. We had lunch and explored the magnificent cathedral-don't miss it! There was a half hour delay to return to Madrid but we arrived back a little after 3. I recommend it!

The cost is low in relation to the benefit… - Everything was perfect. The schedules, the comfort of the bus, the guides. And Toledo is a magical place!! The cost of the tour is low, in relation to the benefit. We fell short with the 1/2 day tour, it took 2 more hours.
Thanks for everything.

great value - The trip is a great value overall considering it includes transportation to and from and a basic walking tour. My only suggestion to organizers is to provide better information on departure, as my ticket didn't indicate if I was on Express or Experience bus, which seems to be an important distinction with different departure times. People had to line up to ask the guide which group they are in which was unnecessary waste of time.

Toledo is worth the visit! - Perfect for a quick visit to a fantastic town. Toledo was beautiful! Tour guides were very sweet. Unfortunately I had to carry my luggage around but for a quick half-day trip I sucked it up and enjoyed my time.

Would think TWICE - It was good visiting Toledo and learning more of this city.
However, the company running the tours 'Big Bus' are poor at arrangements. Although we booked 5 tickets together, we were forced to sit in separate seats (as they were the only ones left). Added to this, some passengers were quite aggressive - which made us very uncomfortable (It was over the fact that there are NO reserved seats).
Getting back was also farcical - after making us to line up in the order we arrived to leave Toledo, we were then told to board the bus across the street - in a 'free for all' - and this got worse when there were more passengers than seats available. Finally another bus was arranged for the excess passengers.
Not sure I would recommend this to families with kids or older folks - due to the scramble for bus seats.

Ok but difficult to understand guide’s English and didn’t need the blacksmith visit - Exploring the city on our own. Couldn’t follow our guide or hear her correctly. Didn’t need to see a blacksmith either.

Disappointed - We found the attractions like cathedral, synagogue & mosque all closed. If we knew that we’d have chosen another day to visit.

good place, but the tour needed some tweak... - The guide was nice, but it wasn't prepared with microphone & ear phone, so it was so so hard ing to hear what the guide was say often times. There were so many people around us, so thought they should think about it. Also the guide wasn't waiting for all of the group to get to each point, so easy to miss what she was saying. The return bus waiting was so long. Seems like the October was the new summer holiday to everyone. Toledo itself was great though.
