Discover Toledo’s most iconic sites and hidden gems in a relaxed and insightful walking tour. Over 2.5 hours, we’ll explore the highlights of this UNESCO World Heritage city — from the imposing Alcázar to the quiet alleys of the Jewish Quarter. We’ll stop by landmarks like the Church of Santo Tomé and the Jesuit Church (exterior only), and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from unique viewpoints.

Along the way, I’ll share the stories, legends, and historical context that make Toledo such a fascinating place.
