Great day in Toledo. Javi was excellent!

5.00This was a great day. Our guide Javi was prompt, personable, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. We enjoyed exploring Toledo with him. The pickup at the train station was convenient. It would be doable without it, but for not much extra money, we were able to pay for a ride, and the stops along the way for views were well worth it. Javi’s knowledge of history was impressive, and he was able to explain things in a way that was understandable. He also took us to a couple of fascinating places in the city underground that were locked, only certain tour guides have access, and we would not have been able to visit if we were walking around on our own. We had a great day and would recommend Javi to anyone who wants a tour of Toledo.
Highly recommended for your visit to Toledo

5.00Daniel was our guide in Toledo and it turns out he's the guide who started the first Jewish history-focused tours of the area many years ago. His experience showed. He was terrific, fun, highly knowledgeable, and everything about our day with him was highly personalized to our interests, desires, and schedule. Many tours of Toledo include transportation from Madrid. That can of course be easy and convenient but we liked that Daniel gives the option of booking with or without transportation. The train from Madrid is fast and inexpensive, and choosing to meet the guide in Toledo saved us a lot of money. After booking, Daniel contacted us and gave us the option of meeting him in the town or at the Toledo train station. We chose the latter, booking a 9:15am train from Madrid's Atocha station, and he was waiting for us when we got off the train in Toledo 1/2-hour later. Could not have been easier. As for the tour itself, I can't recommend it enough. The history of Jews in Toledo is of course fascinating, and this tour includes plenty of context of Spanish history in general, including everything that led to the inquisition and ultimately the expulsion, death, or baptism of the Jewish population. Daniel's tour of the palace in Toledo is one I will not quickly forget. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

5.00Fernando, our guide was very knowledgeable, personable and toured us away from the crowded tourist streets. We learned a lot about Toledo, its history, architecture, and the Jewish history in the city and Spain.
Toledo is a must - and this is a different twist

5.00One of the best days of our trip to Spain! No crowds. Sonia was AMAZING! She was so personable, knowledgeable, helpful. There are so many cathedrals and churches - this was a way to see another side of religion - cooperation as well as persecution, and learn history.

5.00Havi was flexible, thorough, and responded to our needs. He had access to private locations off the beaten path, and the breath of his knowledge of Jewish history and culture was impressive.
