What an amazing tour, Enrique was just excellent. He lives and was born in Toledo, and clearly knows the town, the people and the history. He met us at the train, had a cab take us to the city overlook, and then to the back gate/entrance. He spent a good 3+ hours with us, at our pace, what a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! We were prepared as it was raining off and on, but great experience.

We booked the Shalom Toledo tour, and it exceeded all our expectations. In just over 3 hours, which flew by, we were able to see the synagogues, the basement of an old Jewish house which is marvelous, and we also tried the famous Toledo marzipan, which is delightful. We would definitely book it again without hesitation
