For a graduate of Tourism with a degree in Art History, there is surely no better place to establish a career as a Tour Guide than in the marvelous city of Toledo. My vast work experience has taken me through the diverse sectors of the world of tourism and art (travel agencies, transfer escort, exhibit coordinator at Madrid's Reina Sofia Museum and accompanying group guide throughout Central Europe for twelve years). Experiences that have contributed to my cultural and professional development and that today add to my richness as an Official Tour Guide of Toledo, licensed by the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. I have been working as a guide continuously since 2007 and hope to continue for many more to come. My objective has always been, and will always be, to transmit the flavors, experiences and sensations that are awoken by one of the most enchanting cities in Spain. - Degree in Art History. - Graduate of Tourism. - Official Licensed City Tour Guide. Granted by the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. - 2016 and 2017 Global Awards (shortlisted) by Luxury Travel Guide.

Walking further into the City of Tolerance, or the Three Cultures, we will visit a monument characteristic of each of these cultures and discover the impact each has left on Toledo. We will walk through the city centre to discover: - The Mosque of Cristo de la Luz. This is the only mosque still standing, of the many that existed in Toledo under Muslim rule. - The Synagogue of El Tránsito, an example of Jewish power in medieval Toledo and a representation of the characteristic Mudejar style. - The Cathedral of Toledo. There is no other monument in Toledo that better represents the power of the Catholic Church and its expression through art than this marvellous Primate Cathedral. -------------OR------------ - The former Church of San Román, the best example of mudéjar style in the city. Duration: The walking tour will last around 3 hours - 3 hours and a half.
Absolutely excellent tour. Adolfo is incredibly knowledgeable about Toledo history including the religious confluences in the city. We visited the mosque, the synagogue and a monastery (and would have gone to the cathedral but we had already been). Excellent insight and we enjoyed walking the deserted back streets of Toledo!
His knowledge on the background and history of Toledo is off the charts. He took us through over 3000 years of events in Toledo in a logical and understandable way. We have a real understanding of the importance of Toledo in Spanish and European history. He is from Toledo and lives here and loves the city. We found him professional, friendly and engaging and highly recommend him.
Adolfo is an amazing tour guide and an extremely helpful and kind person. He cares deeply about his guests and his home town. He is extremely knowledgeable about his city and has even written a tour book about Toledo! He will be able to show you the hidden gems that you probably will not find on your own. He brought me to this four generation hand made ceramics "cellar" where I was able to discuss with the owner the past and the future of the business, very unique experience. Can't recommend Adolfo enough!
This tour has been the highlight of our trip to Spain! Adolfo is incredibly knowledgeable about all the relevant history and did a wonderful job adapting his energy and detail to our attitudes and interest. It was a pleasure! I would recommend to all.
It was an excellent tour tailored for my daughter and I. Mr Ferrero is knowledgable and has fun explaining what he knows. He kept our interest throughout the tour.
Friendly, very informative and knowledgeable, accomodating to our needs, good restaurant recommendations, just what we wanted.
If you are coming by train from Madrid (20 euros go and return) I will be waiting for you at the Toledo Train Station, or at the Bisagra Gate if coming by private car. If by train, we could make a panoramic tour with a taxi to get to the city centre and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view from the other side of the Tagus river (11 euros per taxi. 4 people per taxi). Or, we could get to the old town by walking in a beautiful 15 minutes walk. We will cross the entire old town during the tour paying visit to the monuments included in the itinerary (tickets not included in the price). Even though the walking tour has a common thread I will make alussion to every simple and important aspect of the city: handycrafts, cultural heritage, evolution of the old town, festivities, etc.
