5.00This was an excellent tour. Sarah was very friendly and open to questions; the tour gave us a well organized walk around so many of the sites including very informative look at the inside of the cathedral - which is massive. She had lots of interesting stories and pieces of history that made Toledo’s complicated life by history come alive and not be boring. As we walked she shared tidbits and practical suggestions of how we might further check out places , museums, churches etc on our own time if we were staying in the city a few days. Our small group of 5 had lots of questions about current situations and family life etc. which she was very helpful in giving us insights as she has grown up in Toledo in multi-cultural family. We really appreciated her suggestions of identifying authentic restaurant experiences and avoiding tourist trap packaged food. Her English was excellent; the pace of the tour was very comfortable- and we were a mixed group of people from 20- 40’s to 70’s. One family was on the tour being in Toledo on a day trip excursion and my husband and I were here in Toledo for 5 nights- and Sarah helped us each sort out priorities for follow-up whether to the train station or walks, dining, and sightseeing. We are used to traveling in our own, but having a professional guide like Sarah is invaluable in getting to understand more of what one is seeing. We would highly recommend Sarah who owns her own travel guide site as offered through Viator.

5.00Toledo's history is fascinating, and Sara was such a personable, knowledgeable and engaging guide. Her local perspective and deep experience made this very unique. Toledo may be filled with tourists and tour guides, but you have to do this tour with Sara to get such an intimate experience of the city. Highly recommend!
Perfect way to see Toledo!

5.00Sara is a fabulous guide. The walking tour was a perfect balance of information and humour. We were glad that we also added on the cathedral tour with her. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about her city and all of her recommendations for things to do after our time together were great. We had a fabulous lunch, sweet treat, and took in wonderful views all based on her suggestions. She was very communicative before our tour ensuring we were clear about meeting time and place. Her English is very good and made our tour even better as our Spanish is not strong. We would definitely recommend our friends to seek her out.

5.00Sara was a great tour guide for this special city. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Toledo and its culture. It’s an easy train ride to and from Madrid, though a steep walk from the station to the top of the city.
