I don't think it is possible to praise this tour of Toledo highly enough.
Our guide - Javier Rodriguez - is, without doubt, one of the BEST tour guides we have ever had. His knowledge of the City is just enclopedic but presented in an accessible and witty manner that is as charming as it is informative.
He took time always to ask what we wanted to see, giving us options so that we could decide, with his advice, no only where to visit, but also where to eat and what to see once the tour ended.
His knowledge extended not only to the buildings, like the amazing Cathedral, but also to a detailled knowledge of the history and paintings that rivalled that of any Art Historian. Whilst in Toledo you must, for example, explore the works of "El Greco", an artist I was already aware of. But Javier's descriptions of these masterpieces gave us an insight and understand that I could not have imagined without this tour.
Toledo is an amazing and fascinating town, with a complex history that takes a great deal of understanding. Javier presented all of this in a way that was intelligent, educated and informative - but easy to comprehend. And in perfect English!
He is, just the perfect tour guide and really made our, all too brief, visit to Toledo just perfect.
