Alcazar de Toledo

(Pass by)

The Alcázar of Toledo is a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo, Spain. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it was restored under Charles I (Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor) and his son Philip II of Spain in the 1540s. In 1521, Hernán Cortés was received by Charles I at the Alcázar, following Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs. Most of the alcázar was rebuilt, or restored, between 1939 and 1957 after the Siege of the Alcázar of the Spanish Civil War.

Very enriching experience. The tpur guide Aitiana was very helpful knowledgeable and supportive. We enjoyed ourselves a lot as a family

STEVE_A

Beautiful place to visit and good mix of time with guided and exploring on our own. Adding the tour of the cathedral was worth it!

CLTravel3

Take care to fully understand what the tour includes - we expected narration on the bus ride down and guides to 3 sites. Neither of those occurred. This activity is good for the bus ride down and back but plan to tour mostly on your own,

This tour was provided by local yellow tours. They were an hour late! We boarded a bus with sticky floors and a non-working mike. We were transferred to an older bus who stalled twice before leaving the gas station we were taken to outside town. The mike still had a lot of static. The bus stalled twice before exiting in Toledo. Fumes spread all over the road and inside the bus. I was emailed 3 vouchers for entrances and was given a paper one who was no good. We had to visit these on our own. That was not mentioned on the Viator description of the tour. Before we left the tour guide told me to get the Cathedral voucher from the tour guide there. That tour guide told me to wait by the traffic light by the pharmacy. An hour later we left because no one arrived! We couldn’t visit the other sites we paid for they were far, up the hill and we didn’t have time. Horrible tour and tour guides! When we made our way to the pick-up spot about 30 people were left behind to wait for another bus because this bus got full. What a waste of a day! We should get our money back because we missed seeing beautiful Toledo! Do not book this tour!

The trip was excellent, with 2 exceptions. The cathedral tour was in English and Spanish, so it was difficult to follow. It also extended the tour bduration by 1/2 hour, which cut into our free time. The second issue was the return bus to Madrid. Boarding was confusing and pure bedlam. Perhaps there is a more organized way to do this.

We had a very difficult time finding the location of the departure. When we finally did after looking for it for 30 minutes, the bus was late 25 more minutes. The city of Toledo is pretty, but so filled with groups of tourists. It made it a bit hard to hear our guide and honestly the tour didn’t really encompass much. However our guide Jesus was very nice.

We drove to Toledo in a comfortable bus, it was full so we were a little concerned at first, but when we got there we were divided in small groups, only 3 of us on our group for the day which worked as a private tour. The guide was excellent, local, knowledgeable and very nice, unfortunately now 10 days passed and we forgot her name. We visited all the main sites with her detailed explanations, had lunch in a very cozy restaurant, including sangria/ wine and 1h or so after lunch to walk around for some souvenirs. A perfect day in a beautiful city. We recommend it.

Everything about the day trip and tour was wonderful. Staff at Plaza de Espana was very helpful and bus left on time. We can't say enough wonderful things about our guide, Soroilla ( not sure about spelling). Her explanations in English were very clear. She is very intelligent, knowledgeable and helpful... a delightful person We truly had a marvelous day!

Loved Toledo - a must see if you are in Madrid. While the guides were very knowledgeable, we were put in the wrong group (1/2 day versus full day) and missed the Cathedral part of the tour and had to go back and view on our own. Advise to make sure you are in the right group when you get to Toledo. Also, if you are over 6' the bus ride from Madrid and back can be very uncomfortable - I'm 6'2" and my knees were up against the seat in front of me - no leg room at all.

HeyJulie

There’s so much to see and do in Toledo that a person could easily spend a month there, So I understand that an afternoon is just way too short of time to cover the territory. Plus, Our guide spoke very broken English and was hard to understand. In Spain I do not expect that anyone should speak English, UNLESS I pay for a tour in English. We only ended up seeing two churches . I wanted to see Muslim mosque and the Jewish synagogue, But we never even walked by either of those. When the tour ended and I asked the guide for the synagogue, the man pointed. We followed his general direction for about 25 minutes until we finally located the synagogue but by then it was too close to the bus leaving for us to be able to go inside. Before the tour began the guide told us The elevators weren’t working to return down to the bus parking lot so we spent about 15 minutes discussing how we would find our way back to the buses, which was very difficult to understand. The guy could’ve simply said to meet where we were 20 minutes earlier and every thing would’ve been solved. in the end we found our way to a Makeshift trail, where we blustered down until my boyfriend stepped in dog poo. He was not a happy camper!! I think it should’ve been much clearer what the tour covered and if you only have a very brief. At least go to all the highlights not just the churches. I would not recommend thus tour
