Description

Dive into the history of the city of 3 cultures with a local guide Discover the secrets hidden in this medieval city. A walk at your own pace and in your own language, you adapt it and I'll guide you.
During this 3-hour private walking tour of Toledo, you'll delve into a city that seems frozen in time, where the stones tell stories of three cultures: Christian, Jewish, and Muslim.

Our tour kicks off in Plaza de Zocodover, the old heart of medieval trade, where the guide will introduce the legends and characters that shaped the imperial city.

From there, we'll stroll along narrow cobbled streets to the Primate Cathedral, a jewel of Spanish Gothic architecture that impresses with its imposing façade and its history as the spiritual center of Castile.

The tour continues to the Old Jewish Quarter, where you'll visit the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca (included in the price) and the Church of Santo Tomé (included) to admire El Greco's "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz."
Along the way, you'll get to admire the views of the Tagus River from the viewpoints and visit the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, a symbol of the power of the Catholic Monarchs.

The experience culminates with a visit to the Damaquinados Suárez, where they'll teach us the art of damascening and we can buy souvenirs.
Every corner, every arch, and every story takes you on a journey back in time, revealing why Toledo was known as the "City of Three Cultures."
This is a private tour for up to 8 people in different languages (one language per group). Your pet is welcome, and kids under 5 go free.
