“This tour is a must if you're staying in Madrid! Laura was increíble! We went with a group of English and Spanish speakers and she flawlessly switched back and forth between the languages to accommodate everyone and make sure everyone understood the tour and was having a good time. We went to all of these cities in under 12 hours and never felt rushed. Plus, the bus rides between cities are the perfect siesta! Amazing tour and guide!!”
Full-day Toledo trip from Madrid with guided cathedral, Santa María la Blanca synagogue, and Santo Tomé church plus classic viewpoints and city walls.
“It's a large tour, so things take a while to do. The synagogue experience could've been skipped, its just a room. We spent more time going thru security than seeing things inside. Cathedral was AWESOME and thr guide was helpful. Between the low quality audio devices and her thick accent, English was hard to understand. I was able to get all the info between ESP/ENG, but not ideal. Also, it felt like we were waiting for the slowest members of the group and there were times the guide was wasting time. I would've preferred the extra 15 minutes to eat/shop rather than standing around chatting. If you want a slower…”

Madrid to Toledo day trip: Jewish Quarter walk and historic Bargas winery tasting with snacks, plus optional guided cathedral visit.
“Starting with the better part. The winery experience at the end made up for the rushed Toledo tour. Great explanation of the process. We tasted 3 wines and bought a lovely bottle of red wine at the end. The cathedral in Toledo was just stunning and is a must-see! Make sure you add that to your tour. Maybe this should not be a combo tour since the tour guide seemed to be in a hurry the whole time we were in Toledo. She talked very fast, and translated in both English and Spanish so it did take her twice as long to communicate with us. We almost left a couple…”

“Our tour was on Sunday March 31. We were 10 persons in our family group. I can’t remember her name. Is unbelievable this women guide was not helpful at all. Very rude, and not polite at all. No touch. We ask her to call a taxi to go up to the Royal Alcazar in Segovia since is on a hill and her answer was no . We were 5 people that need it a taxi. It didn’t take that much to request it. Lucky for us, I was able to stop one taxi for one person and that driver called another taxi for the rest of us. Very disappointed. The…”
