    About the ride

    Escape the busy city of Madrid, and enjoy half a day in the serene city of Toledo. Admire the traditional 12th and 13th-century architecture, visit the city’s most famous art museum, and explore this UNESCO World Heritage site’s most popular landmarks. Throughout the tour, your friendly English-speaking driver will share his local knowledge and give you the most up to date information about each site you visit. As an added bonus, enjoy an authentic Spanish lunch in one of the best spots in the city.  

    • Hotel pickup and dropoff from a professional English Speaking driver / local guide
    • 100% Customisable & Private

    On the morning of the tour, your Welcome driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation, and you will set course towards the fascinating city of Toledo. The journey from Madrid to Toledo only takes around an hour, so sit back, enjoy the free snacks on board, and admire the beautiful Spanish scenery. Although every aspect of your tour is customizable, and points of interest can be added or taken away, the following itinerary is one we suggest as a base. 

    Once you arrive in Toledo, your first stop will be in the Jewish Quarter. Get out of the car, stretch your legs, and take in all the stunning 13th century architecture. In this area you will find the oldest standing synagogue in Europe, Santa Maria La Blanca. Once the city’s beloved synagogue, now a fascinating museum showing the cooperation of the three cultures that populated Toledo: Christian, Islamic and Jewish. A few streets away you will can also see the 12th-century 2Toledo Cathedral. This church’s magnificent tower is one of the best representations of the Mudéjar art in Toledo, and inside hangs one of El Greco’s most famous paintings, the ‘Burial of the Count of Orgaz’.

    If the lovely painting on display in St. Tome Church sparked your interest, then your driver can take you to the Museo de Greco, found just a few blocks away. This fabulous museum is designed to look like the house that Greco himself lived out his life in, in Toledo. Here you can find many of his later pieces, along with the artefacts that inspired him to create those beautiful pieces of art. Once you have finished admiring the work of El Greco, it is time to pause for a lunch break. Your driver will happily recommend a restaurant for you to enjoy your Spanish lunch, or you can explore the city a little and find a place that suits you.

    After your delicious meal, you will head over to the Old Town to see the spectacular Cathedral of Saint Mary of Toledo. This 13th-century Cathedral is considered by experts as the magnum opus of the High Gothic style found throughout Spain. With its jaw-dropping architecture, intricate engravings and masterful incorporation of light, this cathedral is a must see when in Toledo. Your next stop will take you over the 3Alcázar of Toledo, offering great views of the medieval town. At this point, you can choose to spend the rest of your time exploring the city of Toledo, perhaps doing a little souvenir shopping and sampling some of the famous candy made by local nuns, or you can take a stop on 5Mirador de Valle or 6San Martin's Bridge to take memorable photos of your trip!

    At the end of your visit in Toledo, your friendly Welcome Driver will drop you off back at your hotel or apartment.

    Had a terrific tour of the major sites in Toledo. Our driver Fernado was absolutely superb. She was very well informed, personable, and had a great sense of humor. His academic background truly made this tour a highlight of our trip to Spain. Highly recommended.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

     

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

     

    Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

    The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly.

     

    What happens after I book?

    Useful tips

    LOCAL CURRENCY

    Bring cash in the form of local currency (Euros), as many of the local vendors don’t accept card payments.

    Dress Code

    Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes and be equipped with wet weather gear if rain is expected. In addition, please note that religious sites require modest attire- knees and shoulders must be covered.

    BE AWARE OF THE HEAT

    In the summer months be sure to wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and perhaps a hat, to shield yourself from the sun. We also recommend staying hydrated throughout the tour with the water provided.
