“This was a nice tour of Toledo. Rest stop outside of the city was a great place. All the spots in the city were as described. Our guide was knowledgeable and his English was okay. The flipping back and forth from Spanish to English became a bit arduous after a bit. Suggest two guides, one for each language. There was so much interesting information to share and it would have been a better tour to have had two guides, each one dedicated to the required language. The tapas were quite tasty! Would recommend the tour.”
