Tour description
Perched dramatically on a hill within a bend of the Tagus river, Toledo is one of Spain's most historic cities, the former imperial capital and a place where Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures lived and built side by side for centuries. Its entire old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its layers of history.
You will wander the maze of medieval lanes, visit the great cathedral and the old Jewish quarter, and hear about El Greco, the sword-makers and the three faiths that shaped the city. Along the way you will take in views over the river gorge. Historic and atmospheric, Toledo is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
