Description
Relax and enjoy the scenery on your way to the city. Follow your local guide on a walking tour of the historic city of Toledo, a World Heritage City since 1986. Once the capital of Spain, it is a spectacular blend of Moorish, Jewish and Christian cultures. Learn about its fantastic heritage and discover how the coexistence of cultures through the centuries influenced its current architectural style.
Wander among the courtyard cloisters and royal coats of arms at the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. Admire the building sponsored by Isabella of Castile to become a mausoleum, the most important construction built during the time of the Catholic Monarchs. Right after the visit we will walk to the Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca. Originally built as a synagogue, it was expropriated and became a church only 211 years after its inauguration. Today, it is a fantastic museum of Mudejar art that you will visit. Admire El Greco's world famous painting, The Burial of Count Orgaz, in the Church of Santo Tomé. Did you know that El Greco himself lived in this beautiful city? Next, we will visit the ancient mosque of Cristo de la Luz. Of the ten mosques that Toledo had, this is the best preserved.
If you wish, you can include lunch in your reservation and enjoy a delicious tapas menu where you can taste the most famous dishes of the local gastronomy. In AFFAIR you do not include lunch, you will have approximately an hour and a half of free time to have lunch on your own.
At the agreed time, meet your guide again for a visit to the Toledo Cathedral, considered one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Spain. Contemplate the stained glass windows that decorate the nave and discover the history of this great monument. See more than ten paintings by El Greco and stroll through the cathedral listening to the explanations of your guide.
Before returning to Madrid, back on the bus we will take a short panoramic tour of the exterior of Toledo to the viewpoint of El Valle.

Bom custo benefício
Satisfeitos, mesmo sem ter sido perfeito. O entrada a mesquita do Cristo da Luz vale por si só. Recomendo fazer cedo, tem menos gente e a luz é melhor. O preço das bebidas no local é exagerado. Recomendo, com as ressalvas que fiz.

Cumpre o que promete
Entrega o que promete. O atendimento antes da reserva esclareceu todas as dúvidas. Passar por Europa já valeu o tour todo. Ficou um pouco longo na parte do meio. Boa experiência no balanço geral.

Highly recommended
A really well rounded experience. Great that entrance to Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca was included. For what is included, the price is more than fair. One of the best things we have booked online.

A solid way to see Madrid. Coming with entrance to Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca is a big plus. Everything ran on time and was well organised. The one downside was the wait at the start, we left about twenty minutes late. A good experience on balance.

Vale a pena
Boa experiência, com um detalhe que vale saber antes. A caminhada até El Greco valeu cada passo. Um detalhe: os assentos não são os mais confortáveis num trajeto longo. Vale a pena, sabendo disso.

Impecable, no le encuentro un pero. Muy buena relación precio calidad. Europa nos voló la cabeza, no esperábamos algo así. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.
