Our guide Alejandra was wonderful! She had a great knowledge of the history of Toledo. Having a local guide really helps to give insight into the day-to-day life as well. Alejandra was easy to talk with and we enjoyed her sense of humor and warmth. Highly recommend!

Alejandro was a great and personable guide. He met us at the train station and we took a cab into the city. You stop on the way in for a breathtaking view. He then walks you through the city, discussing daily life and history. You get to see two archeological sites not open to the general public. There are several times along the way you can stop to purchase something if you like, but no real pressure to do so. You end the tour in the main square and can wander around at your leisure afterwards.

Alejandra was an amazing tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and fun personality. She was an instant friend and she showed us everything we wanted to see and more. She definitely knew the paths to take that kept us out of the main tourist areas so it felt private. We highly recommend this tour in Toledo!

Alejandro, an archaeologist, was the perfect guide for our three walking tours of his beloved city giving us a taste of this special place that went way beyond anything that could be gleaned from a mere guide book together with the privilege of venturing under the street transporting us to a time long past revealed in a Muslim hammam and Jewish mikveh so perfectly preserved on the granite bedrock. Our walking tour, divided over three days encompassed the Jewish, Christian and Muslim heritage of this historical city where the three cultures interweave so fascinatingly. In addition, the recommendations for places to eat and, off the usual tourist trail places to see, was a special treat. Don’t miss the tapas at Taberna Botero nor stint on the marzipan this city is so famous for…esp Santo Tomé but also those bought directly from the nunneries in the heart of the city. Nothing was too much trouble for our kind and knowledgeable guide who on departing also called a taxi for us to ride out to the Parador for an overview of this special place. We weren’t surprised to find Toledo featured in the travel section of our Sunday Times paper as well as being visited in Monty Don’s new series visiting gardens in Spain. Make sure you seek out Alejandro if you are lucky enough to visit Toledo. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to return.

Alejandro was incredible! This tour was special because we felt like we were really hanging out with a knowledgeable local. He was really passionate about his city and transmitted that at every turn of our walking tour. The time went by really fast because we were having a great time. Truly recommend this tour!! One of the best tours we’ve had so far in Spain!

Alejandro was great! He showed up promptly on time and was very friendly. The tour itself was amazing. We got to walk around Toledo away from the main crowds and learn about the history of Spain, Toledo, and archaeology. He recommended a great place for lunch - and handled making the reservation for us - and made himself available if we had questions on the rest of our trip. He could tell that my husband and I were nerds and leaned heavily into history and facts which we really appreciated. Highly recommended - one of our favorite tours we've done!

Do not hesitate, do this experience. We had the pleasure of traveling back in time in the wonderful city of Toledo with archeologists who know their city and will take you places within the city that no other tours will go. This was by far the best tour of our trip to Spain.

Fabulous tour. The usual sites but also a dig of a Jewish ruin under a house. Our archaeologist guide had worked on the dig. Lots of extra history.

Alejandro was an amazing guide. His knowledge of the history of Toledo, particularly architecturally and archaeologically was something you cannot get from a typical tour guide. He tailored our walk to our wishes and was super helpful in helping to plan the remainder of our visit. It was particularly charming to see so many people in the town stop to say hello to Alejandro, who grew up along the tour route and went to university along the tour route. When in Toledo, you cannot go wrong with this tour.

Alejandro really made this special for my wife and I. The tour went longer than scheduled as he didn’t seem to care about time nor did we. He provided a wonderful perspective of his city from a resident’s standpoint as well as from the tourist’ point of view. We even stopped for a beer and tapas and he sent us to a wonderful spot for lunch. A truly special time in Toledo put this on your list!

I can't really say anything more than what all the other reviews tell you. We had a lovely tour with Alejandro and enjoyed learning about Toledo's history: it was amazing to have an archeologist's point of view and I know we went to places not on the tourists path. His recommendations for restaurants was stellar and we enjoyed a gorgeous lunch in what felt like a very secret spot. The idea of a night tour sounds wonderful too. I would definitely recommend staying for a night in Toledo. The place empties out and becomes a whole other beautiful world. Thank you Alejandro!

What a terrific tour experience! Walking Toledo with Alejandro was the highlight over two weeks in Spain. If only all tour guides everywhere could be so knowledgeable and personable. Cannot recommend him/his company highly enough.

We had an amazing time! Alejandro was an excellent guide--friendly, interesting, knowledgeable, a great teacher, and wonderful with adults and kids alike. As both a native Toledano who grew up in the historical center and a local archaeologist, he showed us some fascinating sights not generally open to the public, as well as the highlights of any trip to the city. He went above and beyond, and we cannot recommend his tour highly enough. Our kids (9, 12, and 14) also give him rave reviews!

Alejandro was an incredible guide, taking us 'behind the scenes' in Toledo as a Toledano. We learnt a lot about Toledo, its history and present day life. Highly recommend.

Where to begin? This tour surpassed our expectations! The guide - Alejandro/Alex - brought the city to life and provided deep historical background. We were treated to an unexpected visit to an archeological discovery beneath the city surface! Alex took great pains to understand what we had already visited in Toledo and to tailor our tour to our interests! This is NOT a canned tour!

Alejandro was an amazing host for our day in Toledo. He is a wealth of knowledge of the city’s history and provides a unique perspective as an archeologist for the city. Planning the tour was very easy. Communications were thorough in advance of the tour, he met us promptly at the train station, and left us with an excellent lunch recommendation. I would highly recommend a tour with Alejandro when for your visit to Toledo.

Alejandro is by far one of the best guides we have had throughout our visit in Spain. He made the tour so interesting for not only us but our teenaged children. His knowledge of archaeology is a wonderful addition to the tour of Toledo. I cannot recommend him enough. If you go to Toledo, you need to book a tour with Alejandro.
