Awesome day out with a 'friend' - We were attracted to this full-day tour by its variety and small size. It offered a fairly high-level visit of Toledo, a traditional lunch, and a visit to a typical Spanish winery - there were a couple of other interesting stops too. We were far from disappointed. It didn't take long for our wonderful guide Enrique, to feel like a longstanding friend of ours simply showing us around his new favourite local attractions. Toledo is stunning, and we had enough time to visit the old Synagogue and the huge Cathedral, and to wander the cobblestone streets. The traditional lunch was absolutely delicious, and the wine tour full of surprises which would be unfair to disclose here. All in all, it was a fabulous day. A huge thank you to Enrique, our new friend, for making it so!

Fantastic Day Trip from Madrid - My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Toledo, Don Quixote Windmills and Winery tour with our guide, Raul. It was our favorite day during our short 4-day trip to Madrid. Raul was professional, kind, and a joy to spend the day with. He is very knowledgeable about the sites, food and wine. The winery tour was unlike any other’s I’ve been on (my daughter’s first). The winery was open only for us as other public tours are held earlier in the day. It was a truly private tour and experience. We enjoyed the restaurant of choice and we were served our favorite meal of our trip! Muchas Gracias Raul!

Best part of my trip to Spain! - I would give this tour more than 5 stars if it was possible. This was the best day I've had in Spain. Raul runs a fantastic trip. Our group was very small (5 travelers in total) so you get to know the other travelers as well as Raul. Even though it is a day trip, nothing felt rushed. Toledo is beautiful and a local woman, Carmen, joined us to tell us about the history. In addition to the typical stops like the Synagogue and Cathedral, we also went to two shops, a pottery shop and a jewelry shop, where you learn about the local craftspeople. You aren't pressured to buy, but you get to see another side of the town and its people. After Toledo, you head to the windmills, which is a short stop but the perfect amount of time. Lunch was amazing! Raul, who has a background in hospitality, selects the meal to give you an authentic experience. Everything was so delicious. Finally, you stop at the winery, which is also a fun experience. I highly recommend this trip. If I return to Spain, I will do this trip again...and I would try to book my other tours through Raul, or with his recommendations. He is a top notch guide. Don't hesitate to book with him. You won't regret it.

You must book this now! - We really enjoyed our day tour from Madrid. Raul has a passion for the area, and was so knowledgeable. I have slight mobility issues (broke my ankle in September 2023 and still hasn’t healed completely). Our tour had three other people, so perfect for a smaller, intimate group. Our highlights included visiting the windmills, the lunch, visiting Toledo and the wine tasting. We really enjoyed our time with Raul and the rest of the group. Totally worth the $$.

Highlight of our trip! - Our day with Enrique was a highlight of our trip to Spain. Very engaging and personable, Enrique gave us a “backstage pass” to some truly unique locations and experiences in Toledo and the LaMancha area. This private tour was well worth the expense - the buses don’t go to the places we saw. Muchos gracias, Enrique!

Fun and educational tour - We had an amazing time! Getting to see the sights in Toledo early, before the crowds got there allowed us to see and learn so much, and the winery was a real delight. Raul is knowledgeable and passionate, and was a great guide. Highly recommended.

It was an amazing day - It was a nice day visiting Toledo, La Mancha and the winery. We were traveling with our 85-year-old mother, and the guide Alberto was very accommodating. The tour did not include a visit to el Greco masterpiece El entierro del conde Orgaz, but at our request Alberto allowed us to get the tickets and go. My only criticism (and this goes to any other tour) is that instead of trying to push people into buying stuff that most people are not interested in, they should try to incorporate other sites. This was a semi-private tour, us and another gentleman; Alberto was very accommodating in allowing us to see the painting, but he took us to a store because he had to.

Thoroughly Enjoyable! - Alberto was an excellent guide. We toured the ancient city of Toledo, saw the windmills in LaMancha and ate a delicious five-course lunch there, then toured an amazing winery in underground caves. Thoroughly enjoyable!
