Hi there! This is Rachel, I'm an officially licensed tour guide who works in Toledo, my hometown. I am not a blame taker. I was lucky to be born and raised in this. . . how to name it. . . " soul shaping training center". Yes, my friends, all through millennia, thousands of souls from different cultures, from Romans to Saracens to romantic poets, inhabited this rocky hill searching, how innocent, for a place to live a pleasant life without realizing such a place was the ideal scenery in the experience of tempering their souls and, for that reason, so beloved. Since I was a lovely callow teenager my life's been involved in the tourist market. I started working in a local craft factory and shop in Toledo when I was only 17 where I spent my funniest summertime hours being in contact with groups of tourists that would come from every corner of the world, tour managers, and local guides. It was then that I decided to become a guide. I moved to Madrid and majored in tourism, and afterward, I wandered the world for a few years searching for. . . who knows what. I didn't feel confident then to work as a guide, so I quit walking that road. After spending part of my youth working in jobs related to the tourism industry but not my cup of tea, the river of life brought me back to this shore again. So here I am enjoying the chance to showcase this world heritage site to the many visitors that hire my services and I am willing to do it for many more years of improvement since tourism is an evolving phenomenon that needs some adaptation to changes and new currents. The experience that a visitor to Toledo might be looking for needs, among many other ingredients, interaction with locals from my point of view, so I understand that the job of a guide is to serve as a bridge between you and the inhabitants of the city or town visited and providing a personal and cultivated interpretation of the heritage and history in case of touring a cultural vacation spot. All of that I can provide, and much more. . . as an expert, let me lead you to unique sites and places and memorable moments that you will treasure for a lifetime and will help you forge your soul in any way. Let me finally suggest what I think is the best way to get to know this destination. The city of Toledo should be walked at least twice. Once as a first approach and a second time to delve into the area of your interest. I am willing to welcome you here and am open to listening to your needs in case you want to customize a tailor-made experience. *I am an officially licensed guide by the regional government of Aragón autonomous community and officially licensed to guide inside the major monuments of Toledo, the ones run by Toledo's archbishopric. *I hold a degree in Tourism issued by the URJC (King Juan Carlos University) and I am currently majoring in journalism at the same institution, my alma mater, this study I balance with my work. At the moment I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Toledo tour

This tour is intended to cover an overall visit to the city and the different cultures or religions that inhabited it through the past 23 centuries. From its origins, Toledo was a commercial and transportation hub that connected the interior of the peninsula with the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, a place where culture boiled spontaneously. Pagans, Christians, Muslims and, of course, Jews lived together in this tiny rock and played a leading role in the wonderful Spanish history that Toledo represents.

We had an amazing tour of Toledo. Raquel is very knowledgeable and proud to show us around her home town. We only had one day in Toledo but Raquel was able to show us all the main attractions and helped us fall in love with Toledo. We are looking forward to returning one day so we can have more time getting lost in the streets.

An amazing tour. Raquel’s knowledge of the city reflects the passion and knowledge from having lived in Toledo her whole life. Her English is impeccable and she brought the history and city to life. We would not have understood the city if we went on our own.

What a fabulous tour of Toledo, Raquel did an excellent job creating a custom day for us. It was so easy to meet up with her from Madrid. Her knowledge and local insight of Toledo was amazing, a true local insider. She was able to bring the splendor of the history and culture of Toledo to life for us through her knowledge and fantastic story telling. She adjusted everything to our pace and interests. Raquel is also such a personable and delightful person to spend the day with which made the day fun and enjoyable. We enjoyed local things, local artisans, local food and had a fantastic lunch break with amazing authentic local food. Raquel has a real passion for Toledo and what she does which comes through in how she does her tour. An amazing day, we will do another trip with her when we are back!
