Full Day tour to experience the high speed train and to discover a unique World Heritage Site.
Overview of your Madrid tour
Toledo is a Unesco World Heritage Site, a museum-city of great artistic beauty and one of the oldest and most monumental cities in Spain. Toledo is, definitely, one of the must-see cities in Spain. If you want to be taken to the Middle Ages and live a unique experience in a city that is preserved just like 500 years ago, come with me to Toledo from Madrid. Easy reachable, the AVE high-speed train from Atocha station arrives in Toledo in just 25 minutes. I have been doing guided tours for more than 20 years in this amazing labyrinth of tiny streets that is Toledo, so I know this magical town like the back of my hand. In my tour you'll discover in an easy and funny way its rich history, monuments, hidden corners, handicrafts, legends and so on. Toledo is a trip to the past, a town packed with history where we'll see remains of all cultures settled on the Iberian Peninsula since the ancient times. Nowadays you can still admire the remains of bridges, palaces, churches, mosques and synagogues in the Old Town!

Well organized tour of Toledo which includes a high-speed train ride from Madrid. We met Jackie at the train station at 8:45am. Arriving in Toledo, we took a taxi to the old city stopping at an overlook for the amazing city view. On our walking tour, We saw the most important historical buildings and the Jewish quarter. The cathedral tour alone was worth the visit. Jackie is extremely knowledgeable and gave us all the background info we wanted. After the tour we had free time to shop and eat lunch. We returned on the train arriving at the Madrid Atoche Station 4pm. Tour cost included train, taxi and entry tickets.

Great tour. Highly recommended. Very accommodating and knowledgeable
Sara H.
This was the best decision of our entire trip to Spain. Jackie was a delight and so knowledgeable. She made our day trip seamless. If we had to schedule this on our own it would have taken hours. She saved us so much time and made the day enjoyable. Stop at the pottery shop that is built into a cave. The cathedral was worth the entire trip.

Jackie is a wonderful guide! She is a delight to be with. She is also very accommodating in our requests. She has explained the essential information to us. Since, we only have half day in Segovia, she took us to the highlights (spots and food) to make sure we enjoy our limited time! She also gave us time to take photos! We enjoyed our time with her that we booked 3 tours with her! Thank you Jackie for guiding our group. :) Take care!
Carolyn K.United States
Jackie was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable about Toledo, Madrid, and Spanish art. She took us on a whirlwind tour of the masterpieces of the Prado, and has an amazing knowledge of the art and artists from the 1500s, 1600s, 1700, and 1800s. The Prado is so huge, that we never could have seen the highlights without her guidance. She was very flexible and understood when we were tired and needed a lunch break. You will enjoy your time with Jackie!
