Toledo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a museum-city of great artistic beauty and one of the oldest and most monumental cities in Spain. Toledo is, without doubt, one of the must-see cities in Spain.<\/p>

If you are looking for a powerful cultural experience, Toledo will not disappoint you. Visiting Toledo with us is like taking a journey inside a history book. What our travelers enjoy most about this tour is the way they experience a medieval atmosphere by walking through Toledo\u2019s\u00a0 ancient narrow cobblestone streets.<\/p>

Toledo is a trip to the past, a town packed with history where we\u2019ll see remains from all of the cultures which have settled on the Iberian Peninsula since ancient times. Founded on a hilltop overlooking the Tagus river 2000 years ago, Toledo was a Roman municipium, the capital of the Visigothic Kingdom, a fortress of the Emirate of Cordoba, and, in the Middle Ages, the time of its splendour, it was named “The City of the three Cultures” because\u00a0Christians, Muslims and Jews coexisted there. Nowadays you can still admire the remains of bridges, palaces, churches, mosques and synagogues built during all those times.<\/p>

We have been doing guided tours for more than 20 years in the amazing labyrinth of tiny streets that make up Toledo, so we know this magical town like the back of our hand. On our tour it is easy and funny to discover its rich history, monuments, hidden gems, legends, customs, and traditional handicrafts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Easily-reachable, the 70-kilometer journey takes only one hour from Madrid. On our way to Toledo we\u2019ll see the south of Madrid and the farming areas in Castilla-La Mancha. Once in Toledo, we\u2019ll spend some time sightseeing in our vehicle. From the outer edges of the river sides, the entire city opens out before us like an oversized movie screen. We\u2019ll enjoy gorgeous views of the walled Old Town located on a rocky hill and surrounded by the Tagus river. We\u2019ll stop at a vista point to take photos. Afterwards, our driver will take us to the Old Town in order to start our walking tour.<\/p>

There are SO many cultural attractions in the old town, Toledo is a fascinating mix of different styles and cultures. On our walking tour we\u2019ll visit:<\/p>

The Cathedral<\/span>. It is an amazing example of the Spanish Gothic style. Its construction lasted centuries, so inside we\u2019ll see not only Gothic, but also great examples of Renaissance, Mudejar and Baroque styles. You will truly be touched by the energy of this historic center of worship and art.<\/p>

Santo Tom\u00e9 Church<\/span>. There are several sites in Toledo where you can discover the works of El Greco, the famous 16th century painter who spent much of his life here in Toledo, but his masterpiece can only be seen in this tiny church. El Greco is one of the masters of Universal Art and his painting “The Burial of the Lord of Orgaz” is considered one of the greatest paintings of all times. Let us show you all the details of the painting and you’ll understand why it’s such a world-prized masterpiece.<\/p>

The Jewish Quarter<\/span> is one of Toledo\u2019s most authentic neighborhoods. It retains some of its original character from when it was home to Spain\u2019s most prominent Jewish community in the 12th and 13th centuries.<\/p>

We\u2019ll visit the Synagogue of Santa M\u00aa La Blanca<\/span> which is the oldest synagogue in Toledo, dating from the early 13th century and which was made a Catholic church in the 15th century.<\/p>

\u00a0These are the highlights, but If you are interested in visiting other sights of interest, do not hesitate to ask for a CUSTOMIZED TOUR.<\/p>

\u201cToledo is reluctantly left. It is sad to leave thinking that you will never return, that you will never see the place that strangely aroused our sympathy\u201d<\/em>.
