Things to do in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha: The Best Cultural Tours

May 21, 2022 Velvet Champine

Synagogues, mosques and churches stand together in Toledo's historic quarter, a testament to the medieval Spanish city's diverse history. The four towers of The Alcazar, a fortress built in 1085, dominate the skyline. Toledo and its surrounding countryside inspired El Greco, and his paintings are on display in many places around the city, including the museum that bears his name.

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

Fernando was an excellent bi-lingual (English/Spanish) tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We definitely saw and learned interesting facts that we would have missed if on our own. Highly recommended!

We did the Toledo-Segovia day tour and it was fantastic! Our guide Alfonso was so knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, he truly made the experience unforgettable. The bus was great, the schedule ran on-time throughout the day, and we were able to see all the best sites in the two cities while learning about their history. I would 100% book another tour with Amigo Tours in the future and would recommend this company to everyone!

This is the second best museum to visit for your bucket list after you have seen the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul Turkey. You should definitely see the War Mural by Picasso on the second floor. Be prepared for security check entrance. There is a discount for seniors.

I was only in Madird for a few days and this tour highlighted all the main attractions and points of interest in Madrid. Amazing value at Euro14 for a 2 hour tour, even though around 20 minutes is spent stuck in traffic, I suspect it would be the same on most days traving around a major european city. There is a recorded audio and also a tour guide on the bus that speaks good english. Our tour guide was Diana who was very knowledgeable and caring towards my children. I would say its an exellent way to experience Madrid.

We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.
