Her knowledge and passion for Toledo was amazing. Toledo is a well preserved medieval walled city which has stood still in time. There are small winding cobblestoned streets with beautiful small shops. The visit to the old Sephardic synagogue and large gothic cathedral were excellent. We would highly recommend this tour which is one of the best tours we have done in our many travels.”
