My name is Laura and I am a passionate official tour guide and I try to show visitors the essence of my hometown, the unique and memorable places. I've been working full time as a tour guide for over 6 years and I hope I can continue for many more. I am also a sworn translator and interpreter by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I have been travelling around the world to meet new people, to learn about new cultures and to be sure I can speak English in a bilingual way. Toledo holds a special place in my heart, it is my hometown. This is the place that made me who I am today and made me feel what I feel today when I go to work, when I walk around its narrow streets (where I used to play), around the Jewish quarter (where my grandma used to live and the place she had to leave in the Civil War), around the convent area (that quiet and fascinating area that surprises me every single day), when I cross the two stunning bridges we have and when I realize that to go to work is a pleasure. There is an indescribable charm about this town. That is why I am a proud official local guide of the beautiful City of the Three Cultures. This is the reason why I love to show visitors the important legacy we have in form of churches, synagogues and mosques. Let me show you the charm of Toledo. I am a very open minded person and I adapt the tour to your specific needs and to anything you may be interested in. It will be a pleasure. Warm regards from the beautiful Toledo. - Official Licensed Tour Guide - Degree in Translation and Interpreting I am not a driver.

Overview of your Toledo tour

We will discover Toledo, my hometown. A beautiful place known as the Town of the Three Cultures. Where the Arabs, Christians and Muslims lived together for many years. We will walk through secret places and we will visit some stunning tunnels under the narrow streets of this special place. It was declared as a World Heritage Site by Unesco, in 1986; its creative and perfect combination of culture, heritage, handicrafts and cuisine is a perfect combination to enjoy this location. Behind its walls, Toledo preserves an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of churches, synagogues, mosques, palaces, etc. *Please notice that the number of monuments we can visit in the tour depends directly on your preferences.

Laura was a fantastic guide! Not only did she cultivate the day to meet our interests, she took special care to get to know each of us and developed the day around that. She was informative, personable, and attentive. She made our day in Toledo one to remember. I highly recommend her!

My son and I just completed the full day Toledo tour with Laura. We have done many tours in various countries over the years. Today was without a doubt the best tour we have ever done. First, Laura was excellent in her communication before the trip about train schedules and suggested itinerary. Laura is by far the most “local” of any tours by locals guide we have ever had. It seemed as if everyone in the city was her friend. We even met her father while he was out walking. Her knowledge of the history of the city is amazing and she presents it in a completely engaging manner. She also extremely friendly .

We had a great time. Our guide did a great job. It was so cool that she was from Toledo, and new everyone. She even waved at her parents as we drove by. The reason I like this so much is her local knowledge gives the tour a spectacular insider only feel. Also Laura could not have done better with commincation before during and after the tour. My travel squad has been around the world on several trips. Laura's tour was top tier, and the sights are great. Thumbs up, way up.

Wonderful day spent with Laura! She was very knowledgeable regarding all aspect of Toledo having grown up there and living there now. We even got to meet her parents and had a great conversation. She gave us excellent historical perspective and really fulfilled all of our needs. It was a truly local experience including a trip to the quiet side of town, away from other tourists, to a convent where the sisters sell special cookies! Over all it was a fabulous day in Toledo! Laura is the best!!!

We are very pleased with our tour of Toledo with Laura. She has excellent communications skills and effortlessly wove facts, legends and myths in presenting us the history of Toledo and how the sites, that we visited, fit into it. The pace of the tour was excellent and at no point we felt exhausted. She pointed out things that we were unaware of - world's smallest window, street of pins, wall marking of the Jewish quarters and much more. Overall a very enjoyable and memorable tour. Thank you, Laura.

Laura was a wonderful guide to beautiful Toledo. She was a joy to be with -- well informed on everything, so enthusiastic about Toledo, and happily amenable to tailoring the tour to our particular interests. She made our day in Toledo a terrific and memorable highlight of our trip to Spain.
