Highlights
- Windmills - The place where the story takes place in the book, is just what this tour offers: first Consuegra, with its landscape, its windmills, its panoramic view, its castle and its history.
- Toledo - Toledo - the first capital of Castile, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive monumental and cultural heritage. Its labyrinthine streets take you back to the time of the Knights Templar; its shop windows with their sabers, swords and knives make you live these feats; not to mention the local sweets, cheeses or hams.
- Jewish Quarter - We will get to know the Jewish neighborhood of Toledo and we will understand how to recognize it through techniques. In this neighborhood there is a Guinness record that we will discover.
- Alcazar de Toledo - We will enter the library of the Alcazar de Toledo to get a surprise. What will it be?
- Plaza De Zocodover - We will talk a little about the history of the square, the history of Toledo and also what we see around.
- Catedral Primada - We will enter the second most important temple of Christianity: the cathedral of Toledo. In here, there are so many things to talk about and see…

Additional Information
In a town in La Mancha, whose name I wish to forget, there once resided a certain gentleman armed with a lance, an ancient shield, a skinny horse, and a fast greyhound for hunting. This is how ‘Don Quixote de La Mancha’ starts - a masterpiece penned by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605 and esteemed as the highest selling book in literary history. Exploring these two locations will reveal the hidden treasures of the oldest Spain!

A fascinating & unique tour - Georgi is a very personable and busy guide who gets to know his clients and what interests them. We spoke throughout the tour and Georgi clearly prepares, studies and shares a great deal if information, history, photos and trivia. He was a delightful guide and a joy to spend the afternoon with - very memorable!

Private Tour of Toledo & Consuegra from Madrid - My private tour guide, Georgi Dianov Georgiev was upbeat, tons of energy, fun to being around, insightful, knowledgeable of the area and an excellent tour guide. Georgia made the history, art and the local culture come alive with this tour. We also had time for me to try paella a local food dish.
Georgi provided hotel pick-up, wore his tour guide badge and confirmed my tour reservation. He was flexible to accommodate my interests. Excellent driver and his vehicle was immaculate. He speaks a few languages. English was excellent. He is also an author of 3 books!
Inquire about other tours that he offers while you are in Madrid. Georgi gives outstanding service. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe with him. During my tour, I was with a friend more than with a tour guide.
If you need a guide with private transportation, book your tour with Georgi.

Unforgettable Tour in Consuegra, Toledo and the Prado Museum - Georgi Dianov picked up our group of 7 in front of our hotel, then we headed toward Consuegra (Don Quixote and the Windmills). Georgi quizzed us about many subjects on our drive, handing out points to whoever got the correct answer, so much fun. Georgi was extremely knowledgeable (he has a PhD from Cambridge) about Consuegra and multiple subjects, really the best guide we have ever had and we have traveled to France, the UK, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Argentina. Georgi was thoughtful, funny, kind, easy to understand and answer any question we had. Then we headed to Toledo and walked up and down the streets, visiting the Cathedral and the best Marzipan Shop. Another day we had a tour of the Prado Museum in Madrid which was unbelievable. Georgi pointed out techniques of the painter/painting, something we had never experienced before, making them come alive! Georgi was truly amazing and our time with him was unforgettable!
