Toledo tour: Wine Tasting and 7 monuments

We had a fantastic trip! We learned a lot about the area of Toledo. We opted for the Wine Tasting, which was the best experience. We were the only ones, so we had our group of four that got a personalized wine tasting in a local winery. It was a highlight for sure. It was a lot of time to spend there (especially having drank a bunch of wine!), we could have done with maybe an hour less but we literally just wandered around all the streets and stopped for tapas and sangria, did some shopping, and checked out a few of the monuments. Would definitely recommend it as a nice day trip!

We met promptly at 9:30am. Got on the bus with our guide, Bennie. He speaks in two languages the entire time. Took a bus an hour to get to Toledo. Then a 30 minute break. Bennie did a great walking tour and to three of the seven monuments. Bennie then dropped me off at the wine tasting location with Ana. It was a great experience, but would not do it again. She spoke little English and I was doing it alone. The white wine came from France and two reds from Spain. The tapas were 3 pieces of cheese, deer, crackers and pate. My biggest positive was eating pate for the first time and I’m liking it! Then I went to lunch at a restaurant that offers salad or soup, pasta or pizza, and a beer or wine for 12,40 euros! It was crowded but pretty good. At 5:30 we were back on the bus and headed to Madrid.

Overall wonderful trip. Forgot the name of our guide, but she was a young lady, incredibly knowledgeable and very nice. Toledo was beautiful, and panoramic view I don’t think would be possible if you took a train day trip on your own. So the tour was well worth it! The wine part of the trip was in a small shop, and was so much fun! The main table was not large enough for the entire group, so we were broken up into two table. Ideally one large table... but didn’t change my opinion on the overall experience at all. The lady at the wine tasting we very nice and accommodating to allergies. Overall, so much fun and a definite to do!

Patricia was awesome. Very educated and knew the history of Toledo, Spain very well. Toledo was amazing if ever in Spain must see!

Lydia, our tour guide was a knowledgeable kind person. You should definitely set aside a day to join this trip to visit Toledo.
