Review of a private Toledo tour from Madrid with high-speed train travel, cathedral access, expert guiding, free time, and practical tips.
“This tour was excellent. We only had a group of 6. Javier was beyond knowledgeable- dates, people, places. He knew it all. We spent a lot of time in the cathedral and he made sure that we had a full history of Toledo before crossing the bridge. He also showed us where the Church of San Tome was so we could see El Greco.
