Highlights
- Plaza De Zocodover - Before it was an Arab market and until a few years ago there was a street market called “popularly” on Tuesday, it was Enrique IV who granted Toledo a market every Tuesday, a tradition that comes from far away and is currently held in the Parque de la Vega. Zocodover comes from Arabic, it means market of the beasts, and this square was also used to publicly execute the condemned.

Best tour guide ever! - We had an amazing tour experience with our outstanding guide, Arantxa. Her exceptional knowledge and friendly demeanor truly made the day unforgettable. Right from the start, she provided a clear overview of the day's itinerary, allowing us to prepare and fully enjoy the experience. We even had time for a leisurely shopping break. The comfortable bus ride added to the overall enjoyment of the tour. As the tour came to an end, the entire bus erupted into applause, expressing our gratitude to Arantxa for creating such a remarkable experience. Without a doubt, we highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a memorable adventure.

Overall a good trip to Toledo. - The sights were good. We only had one guild and she had to switch back and forth between languages so it made for a stressful listening day but very knowledgeable. Backrest on the bus seat was broken and not very comfortable.

The tour was OK - The tour was OK! Our guide took us to the most relevant views and gave us lots of information about the history of Toledo! However, it was a bit unclear when booking, because there was no information about half-day vs full-day tour… so we were a bit disapointed about that because we thoght that we have booked the full-day tour.. Half-day was not enough time to experience Toledo.

Not what I expected - Sorry to say it was very difficult to understand the tour guide speak English. I would’ve preferred it and we suggest you make sure your guide speaks your language
