Frederico was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and beloved by every staff member we saw at the Palace! I would definitely recommend this tour agency.

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 403 reviews · 8 hours · from $32

Toledo day trip from Madrid with a guided Old Town walk, free time to explore, and optional skip-the-line bracelet or zip line.

“It was an incredible experience to explore Toledo, a town filled with beauty and magic. The tour guide, whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, along with the fantastic coach driver, elevated my journey as I traveled solo that day; I never felt alone. The group of fellow tourists on the bus was truly cooperative and polite. The free time to explore the town on my own brought a sense of adventure and excitement, allowing me to immerse myself in the vibrant life and culture of Toledo without any pressure. I enjoyed a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, Nuevo Almacen Zoocodover, where the hospitality was extraordinary.”
