★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,807 reviews · 5 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $64Our pick

Review of Toledo from Madrid: compare half-day and full-day options, cathedral visits, tapas lunch, bilingual guiding, timing, and value.

“This is an extensive tour, covered a lot, which included a wonderful tapas lunch in an archeological museum. The tour had 30 guests, 7 of whom spoke English. The guide did an excellent job going back and forth with duel explanations. The walking is intense. That should have been clarified. It was an extremely hot day, water should have been provided. There was no help from the driver in getting off the coach; this might not be the best tour four senior adults. Getting back to our hotel was a nightmare due to a bike race and protests. Very little help was given.”
