It is a pleasant way to spend half of your day to. Toledo is a picturesque city with many things to see. The tour was bilingual, both spanish and english, which makes it hard to gain a lot of information, due to the fact that the guide has to translate and therefore say things twice. We had only 20 minutes of free time. I would recommend it only if you have a tight schedule, but if you have the luxury of time, it would be better to book a whole day tour to toledo

Alhambra is a massive complex and it was incredible to navigate it with a guide. Although we didn’t get to Nasrid palace, we saw everything else and learned so much. I would definitely recommend this tour! You will have to walk up the hill so make sure your legs are well rested!

This was an excellent and informative trip to Toledo. It was bilingual, both English and Spanish but the guide, Jorge, did an excellent job melding both languages. He was informative, smart and clear. This was the half day trip but we definitely got the flavor of Toledo.
