Amazing and comprehensive tour of Toledo. I booked the full day Toledo tour with ticket to visit the Primate Cathedral (which has a stunning interior, by the way, jaw-dropping and must-see). Everything was well organised, including the bus to and from Madrid, great conditions on the bus, and sufficient time to explore Toledo both with a tour guide and by ourselves. We did a panoramic bus tour and a stop to a damasquinado shop/factory, which was very interesting. Highly recommend to get to know better the former capital of Spain.

This was certainly worthwhile. A short bus ride from Madrid and a drive around the high gorges around Toledo. I did not realize that there was a short stop at a jewelry/knife factory for a "rest stop" and of course the gift shop with discounts for us. That was fine and not a long stop. The tour guides were lively, engaging, safety conscious, and knowledgeable.

Overall good. The walking tour in Toledo was rough. The guide walked to fast to keep up with her and she had a heavy accent so it was hard to hear understand her sometimes. Also, there was a lot of noise and the little sound box she was speaking into didn’t magnify very well. We didn’t want the hassle of figuring out how to get there from Madrid so this was a perfect choice. The one activity not listed in the itinerary was a stop at a factory to see how they make jewelry. It was a bathroom stop but you end up in the store buying. The stop too about 45 minutes.
