Top 3 Guided Tours of Toledo - Organized Tours of Toledo

By Damian Corrigan, About.com

A list of the best guided tours of Toledo, ranging from one day trips from Madrid to multi-day itineraries that take you all around Spain.

Toledo is an ideal Day Trip from Madrid, but you're going to run into difficulties if you want to visit Toledo by public transport en route to the south of Spain as there are no trains buses on from Toledo - you have to return to Madrid.

Many of these guided tours, on the other hand, do the logical thing and treat Toledo as a stop over on the way from Madrid to the south.

1. Tour of Toledo (Half or Full Day)

Take either a five- or eight-hour tour of Toledo, visiting the Cathedral, St. Tome Church, Santa Maria La Blanca Synagogue, San Juan of the Kings, and Victorio Macho Museum on the five-hour tour and the Cathedral (inside), St. Tome church, Santa Maria La Blanca Synagogue, San Juan of the Kings, Victorio Macho museum and Tavera museum with the eight-hour tour.

2. Costa del Sol to Madrid via Toledo & Granada (Two Days)

The same as above, but condensing your time in Granada into a single day. Granada merits more than a single day, so I'd recommend the above tour over this one, but if you're short of time, this is a nice taster (you could always come back!) and offers the same advantages as the previous tour.

3. Madrid to Andalusia via Toledo & Back Again (Five Days)

Toledo, Ronda and the Alhambra are three of the most difficult sights to visit independently in Spain (see Organized Tours vs Independent Travel for why). On this tour, you see all three.

Starting in Madrid, you visit Cordoba on day one. Day two takes in Seville, day three is spent in Ronda and the Costa del Sol, day four in Granada and day five takes you to back to Madrid via Toledo.

Though this tour crams a lot into five days, it is a hassle-free way of seeing some of Spain's absolute gems and conveniently leaves you back where you started in Madrid. Combine with independent travel around the north.
