Great experience - This was an amazing tour. Our guide Enrique was very knowledgeable and friendly. The group was only 7 people which was perfect, we were able to move from place to place quickly and easily. Enrique had a lot of good facts to share with us about the history of each stop, and was also very knowledgeable about the wine making process. He had connections in Toledo with some of the shop owners so we got an inside look at things we wouldn’t have seen if we had gone to Toledo alone. I would 100% do this same tour again or another from this company. The lunch we had after the windmills was also one of the best meals we’ve had in Spain.

Had a blast! - I’ll start from the top - Enrique was a wonderful guide from start to finish and his driving was excellent as well! We had nice conversation and a brief overview of the day before arriving in Toledo - an incredible city with so much history! He knew some of the townspeople and they knew him so we got an exclusive look into a few awesome shops (I won’t spoil the surprise). We next headed to the windmills which were beautiful and then the lunch provided was amazing! After refueling ourselves we headed to the winery which was so cool. Since it was a small group we got a detailed look into just how they make wine (from sparkling to rose) and then tasted some fine wine. It’s not the typical wine tour where they just booze you up and say thanks for coming - throughout the day I probably drank 4 or 5 glasses of wine (which is plenty). If you want to just drink wine and get drunk then I do not recommend but if you want a personal experience and a great day then this is 10/10!

Spectacular places in the best company and with the best tour company - I initially organized the tour of La Mancha and the windmills with Wine Tours, but the company I had for another visit canceled the tour without further explanation days before and I can only thank Raúl and Enrique who saved the day for me and they helped me with the trip to Segovia! Which was definitely unique!
From this work team you can only expect punctuality, good service and all the support possible to make your trip unforgettable.
They did everything from showing us places that tourists don't see when they go alone, making sure the food is the best and abundant, helping you take photos, helping you get umbrellas, proposing the best route so you can see the best landscapes, if you have any suggestions Don't hesitate to tell them definitively what they can do to make your experience better, they will surely do it!
Thank you Enrique for being so special with this group of 8 Puerto Ricans.

Great tour of toledo and winery - Visiting the winery, seeing how the wines aged and then tasting a few good ones was nice.
Getting a view of the town of Toledo from a nearby hill was also really cool.
A lot of good historical context given while we travelled by cat between the places.
