Wonderful experience - So glad we booked our tour with Ricardo! Having a guide in this maze of a city is a must. The rich history Ricardo shared with us and the places he to guided us through were worthwhile. To have the architecture and layers of culture explained is worth it! Polite, personable, we highly recommend this.

Off the Beaten Path Tour - Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable and provided a quaint tour away from the touristy spots we could see ourselves. I appreciated he had access to areas not open to the public, such as the basement of a Jewish mosque and an abandoned well in the heart of downtown.
My only complaint is we were taken to a gift shop where I bought a miniature sword as a gift. The blade was 4-5 inches long. The shop owner, Antonio, didn’t warn me the authorities at the train station would confiscate the sword, which is exactly what happened. Had I known, I would not have purchased the gift only to have it confiscated. Perhaps Ricardo may want to let the shop owner know to warn the tourists, or warn them himself.

A great visit to Toledo - Richard was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. He asked us questions in a professorial manner that made us more involved in the experience. We learned a lot about Toledo and came away from the tour well educated.

Excellent tour of Toledo - highly recommend! - We really enjoyed Ricardo as our tour guide. He clearly has a passion for history and the heart of a teacher. Our tour was of the highlights of Toledo - he spent the first few minutes getting to know us and what our priorities were for our visit - then customized the three hours of our time together to meet our goals. He know many people in the city and all through town people would call out and greet us as we passed by. He spent appropriate amounts of time at the various sites and shared his love of history. There were a number of excavations he took us to which are generally not as available to tourists- but he has the keys so he could unlock the basement doors and take us into excavations under people’s houses. Great guide and we highly recommend!

History and Swords of Toledo! - Ricardo shared his love of this city with us and inspired us to ask many questions which he answered with super knowledge of all the great history that Toledo has. It seems every civilization from early Iberians, Romans, visagoths. Jews, Moors and Christians left their mark on this tiny but fascinating town. The views from below this hilltop town were amazing and the Cathedral was breathtaking. Without Ricardos vast knowledge of history we would have never known the secrets this town kept. Do not go to Toledo without this fun and interesting private tour! The shopping streets are fun too.
