The tour to Toledo was amazing! Please add to the purchasing requirements that anyone who needs assistance with walking or stairs should not purchase this tour. A few on our tour slowed down the tour. This caused the bus to get back to Madrid late. Some of us had plans which required being in time.

Our guide Klara (I believe was her name) was very well organised, friendly, kind and just amazing. It was perfect balance of the amount of information and enjoying the moment.
