Spend a day in Toledo and a historic Castilian winery, with guided sightseeing, three wines, Iberian snacks, and shared transport from Madrid.
“Starting with the better part. The winery experience at the end made up for the rushed Toledo tour. Great explanation of the process. We tasted 3 wines and bought a lovely bottle of red wine at the end. The cathedral in Toledo was just stunning and is a must-see! Make sure you add that to your tour. Maybe this should not be a combo tour since the tour guide seemed to be in a hurry the whole time we were in Toledo. She talked very fast, and translated in both English and Spanish so it did take her twice as long to communicate with us. We almost left a couple…”

Review of the Toledo day tour from Madrid with panoramic views, three monuments, local wine, tapas, free time, and practical tips.
“The bus was comfortable. Our tour guide Amanda was so good and knowledgeable! We learned a lot about the monuments we visited. Had a wine tasting too that was nice. Had a stop in the beginning for a panoramic view of the city and had a few minutes to take pictures. We had time to explore on our own as well as grab a bite to eat. We saw 4 monuments in total. 3 with Amanda and one on our own. We took a walk to the bridge. Organized and bus was on time. I highly recommend this company. IBE Tours with Amanda.Read more”
