10.Toledo Day Trip from Madrid: Cathedral & Monuments

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 368 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $139

Day trip from Madrid to Toledo with a guided old-town walk, Cathedral visit, optional seven-monument bracelet, and free time to explore.

“Toledo is beautiful and Majed is a knowledgeable guide. However, the transportation was delayed the morning of our departure and was less than ideal. There were two separate tour groups on our bus which added time in traveling and coordinating the day. It seemed inefficient and as a result the time spent Toledo was only 4 hours and we did not have sufficient time to explore on our own. I left with the impression that I paid more than I received in value for this trip.”
