Daniel, our tour guide, had a deep historical perspective, which he was able to convey as we toured the city and focused on the jewish community that lived and thrived in Toledo until the ibeginning of the inquisition.
Highly Recommended Tour With Sonia

Sonia was indeed an expert guide, as well as being warm, friendly and funny. We feel fortunate to have spent three hours with Sonia. Her detailed information about the finer details of the synagogues and their histories, and the former Jewish community of Toledo, was enriching and entertaining. She was able to show us the cellar of a former Jewish house which would not otherwise have been accessible for us. Fortunately, we also took the option of Sonia meeting us at the train station and beginning the tour by taking a cab with her to a magnificent scenic viewpoint over Toledo, before proceeding to the Jewish quarter. And, because she knew we were interested in seeing Toledo's numerous El Greco paintings after her tour, she took us into Santa Tome and gave us an absolutely fabulous explanation of his Burial of the Count of Orgaz there. She also gave us helpful information for spending the rest of the afternoon in Toledo. Thank you so much, Sonia! A truly memorable tour, which we would highly recommend!
Sonia is the best! Must do this tour.
