    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!

    Awesome tour

    Our tour guide was excellent. She translated everything in English and Spanish and spoke both languages great. I wish I could remember her name. I am writing this about three weeks post tour, but I think it started with a C. (My apologies for not remembering). Anyway, what a great tour of Toledo. She was very informative and provided us with a wealth of information. It was an easy, comfortable trip to get there.

    We really enjoyed Toledo. Trip was very well organized.

    Guide was knowledgeable and functional, however, showed no enthusiasm and did not engage with the group. She answered questions begrudgingly. The sword factory was diappointing as was shopping there. We would have liked 15 or 20 minutes to shop near the Sinogoga de Santa Maria however there was no time included in the tour.
