Reviews for The Primate Cathedral Of Saint Mary Of Toledo Tours

A
1 Day Tour to Toledo and Segovia with optional Avila from Madrid

We had a great time on our tour to Segovia and Toledo from Madrid. Very comfortable bus and we loved our guide Steffi! She was very informative as well as entertaining. Both city tours had both guided and personal time which was great. Toledo has lots of steps so if you have mobility issues take note. Segovia is our favorite and this was our second visit. The Alcuzar tour is not guided so read up on its history.....it's amazing! Thanks for a great day!
