Toledo Tour & Vineyard Walk with Wine Tasting from Madrid - Toledo’s old town and Jewish Quarter

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,546 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $133Our pick

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…”

Our guide, Violeta, was engaging, expressive, and knew how to tell stories in a captivating way. She kept the balance between history, legends, and entertainment perfectly. Highly recommended if you want to explore a darker and more mysterious side of Madrid.”

The Best Pubcrawl Walking Guided Tour Experience in Madrid

10.The Best Pubcrawl Walking Guided Tour Experience in Madrid

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 533 reviews · 4 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $24

Review of Madrid’s late-night pub crawl, with five venues, free entry, shots, club access, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“It delivers what it says however I would say that this is only for young people (I am 32). The scene and vibe are very party and the second place we went to was so crowded I just ended up leaving. However it is what it is and they deliver what they say - just wouldn’t recommend it for a chill night out with your significant other or if you’re a bit older. I am giving five stars because my experience is my own fault thinking I am younger than I am!!! If I was 10 years younger I would have ate this up.”
