Historical and present day Toledo

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I had the pleasure of a private tour of Toledo with Alejandro. As a trained archeologist born in Toledo, his unique insights and knowledge gave us an appreciation not just of the history of the city but also of the daily lives of its modern citizens. Definitely recommend.

Great Experience!

Published on May, 2024

Our guide Alejandra was wonderful! She had a great knowledge of the history of Toledo. Having a local guide really helps to give insight into the day-to-day life as well. Alejandra was easy to talk with and we enjoyed her sense of humor and warmth. Highly recommend!

Very good tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Very educational and kind and fun time with Alejandro. Weather was not cooperating but he handle the visits in a way we did not suffer Good recommendations for purchasing marzipan and for lunch Great

Toledo history tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Alejandro was a great and personable guide. He met us at the train station and we took a cab into the city. You stop on the way in for a breathtaking view. He then walks you through the city, discussing daily life and history. You get to see two archeological sites not open to the general public. There are several times along the way you can stop to purchase something if you like, but no real pressure to do so. You end the tour in the main square and can wander around at your leisure afterwards.

Better than we expected

Published on Mar, 2024

Alejandra was an amazing tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and fun personality. She was an instant friend and she showed us everything we wanted to see and more. She definitely knew the paths to take that kept us out of the main tourist areas so it felt private. We highly recommend this tour in Toledo!
