From the pre-Roman times to the 21st Century. Mainly known as the "former capital of Spain". The Romans made of it an important city, which now we know - thanks to recent archeological research - is at least 4, 000 years old. After that, the barbarians made it the capital of the Visigothic Kingdom. 100 years after the creation of Islam, it became a Muslim-ruled city for 400 years. After that, it became a border-line city till the 13th century and then a new period begins, the former main Mosque turns into a new Gothic cathedral finished one year after the discovery of America, in an amazing way. Let's not forget the relationship between the role played by Toledo's Jewish community and the European Renaissance! All these cultures have left a trail of magnificent buildings and works of art, which speak for themselves. The tour can be focused any way you want, taking into consideration the cultural richness of the city Ratings for this tour in "Toledo door to door"
Meeting point at the train station, if you want accommodation pick up let me know. The itinerary in Toledo can be discussed "a la carte". Ideas: General interest in this World Heritage City: - complete tour covering Cathedral, Greco, and Jewish quarter going through the maze of streets that will remind us to its Muslim past too. - El Greco's Toledo: Depending on tour length, Hospital Tavera, Museo Santa Cruz, Greco Museum, and Master Piece - Jewish Toledo: The Jewish Quarter and the Synagogues - Medieval Toledo: From the Visigoths and through the Muslims to 1492. - Renaissance Toledo: Hospital de Tavera and Hospital de Santa Cruz and Alcazar (without Army Collection, just architecture) - Roman Toledo: Origins, Roman Circus ruins and after the trail of Roman remains. If by car can be combined with the Roman Archeological site of Patrician Villa. - Shopping in Toledo: local jewelry, Damasquinado, leather, pottery, Damascus steel knives . . . marzipan! Or a combination of the above Big groups welcome

High speed train If you are a large party I need to know in advance. Although I mention a minimum one-day notice, the tour would depend on train tickets availability. The sooner you book, the greater are the chances of getting it done. IMPORTANT! Due to new security regulations, I need the Name, Surname, and passport numbers of all participants. If you don't feel comfortable with sharing that sort of information, contact me for a solution.
