Toledo At Your Own Pace With Guided Walking Tour

Tossed up on how to get to toledo from madrid there were too nany options in the end we went with the easiest and closest busvision.about one hours drive to toledo and we worried about tgge size of the rtour group fiir tge escorted walk in toledo. On arrival the group was divided into english speakers and other languages then again into groups that purchased lunch or other options. Left us english speajjers a group of about twelve and left with plenty of time to ourselves for lunch or sightseeing. It cost about 22 euros for a seniors ticker and i think 25 generally. Thi s was a full anb enjoyable day and a great way to visit toledo. We ate at cafe del kasco and i h ave reviewed it seperately because it helped make our day. P.s.try the fruit tart.

Booked the Toledo Experience basic tour online on the busvision website and got a discount. They have various pick up points around central Madrid and the drop off is near the metro Plaza Espanya. The double decker bus had large windows, managed to get the upstairs front seat with good views. Unfortunately it rained for almost the whole day so the views were limited. While on the bus the guide Elena gave us some information about the tour and offered an upgrade from my basic tour to the full guided tour with lunch. She assured me that vegetarian options were available in the buffet lunch and even charged my credit card for the difference. Excellent initiative. On arrival in Toledo everyone was divided into 3 groups depending on which type of tour they had taken. Anna was our guide for the full tour and she is excellent. We went up the escalators to the city and walked around all the major sights. The entry ticket to 3 places was included with a short guided tour in each place and some more time to look around on our own before continuing to the next place. The main sights of the Cathedral, monastery and synagogue were much more interesting with a guide to explain the details and history. Anna's English is very good and her stories were interesting and funny. She answered questions willingly and well. The walking was easy and the tour covered a lot of places but was not tiring. The city is a bit of a maze, was nice to not worry about getting lost. The rain was a nuisance, bring along a poncho or an umbrella just in case. We were taken to a shop for a bathroom break but otherwise there was no commercial plugging. Lunch was at a nice little restaurant, E10 buffet which was included in the tour. There were enough vegetarian options including delicious paella and dessert. We were a group of about 10 people from all over the world and it was good fun.

Comfort and punctuality, Toledo is beautiful was a good tour, very good explanation on the part of the guides, comforting the buses. Suggested to all.

We decided to go on this tour at the last minute, having only half a day up our sleeve meant options were limited. This was a great surprise. Toledo is a beautiful city with a rich history and the half day tour was a good amount of time to get a feel for the place. Our guide Ishmael was informative, friendly and entertaining! Thanks for a great half day out!

We arrived to Madrid thinking of ways to spend time getting to know historical places. We checked for the reviews on trip advisor and we found BusVision as a very well reviewed company; later we knew they are top tour companies in Madrid and they live up to it. When visiting Toledo on a whole day they picked us up at the designated location on a VIP type of bus very clean and comfortable. One in Toledo we were assigned to the tour guide Zoraya who is a lovely girl who is native from Toledo and so brings her experience to the comments, the tour was Eng/Spa and she managed to keep both audiences interested in every description she made. We visited the Cathedral, Monastery, Santa Maria La Blanca and Santo Tome Church including the El Greco Master Piece - this one was as well very well explained by Zoraya. On the way back to Madrid they made various stops and were on time. We highly recommend taking this one day trip to Toledo; this is a city to enjoy, their arts on steel like swords and armors are beautiful same as for their old buildings and history. Having the chance to use the services of Bus Vision was wonderful and get to meet our Guide Zoraya was excellent.
