Spain · MADRID TOURS & ACTIVITIES

Toledo day trip from Madrid with bus, guide, and ticketed stops at the cathedral, Santa María la Blanca, and Santo Tomé.
“The description of the tour is lacking vital details. There is a lot of walking up and down hills and stairs, and many uneven surfaces. Not a great tour if you a mobility challenged. Lots of beautiful churches with stunning design. It’s advertised a going to the last remaining synagogue in Toledo, what isn’t mentioned is that the building is now (or was) a church, and there are no remaining Jewish artifacts. The title of the tour is misleading. Go at your own risk of being disappointed.”
Madrid’s historic core in 2.5 hours: Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace views, flamenco stops, and key landmarks, guided in English.
“A couple things: This is inexpensive because the “fees” are backloaded. You have to pay a euro for an earpiece so you can hear the guide. Also, he informs you at the beginning his tip is split multiple ways to pay for the service, so bring roughly 15€ per person as your payment. As for the tour, our guide David was nice and entertaining. The walk was filled with some comedy and drama, but enjoyable. More a history of the city and Spain than places of importance. Many places to visit have been torn down over time, so more a “this is the spot where this used to be.” During…”
