I loved both in their own way. - Short time to visit Tolelo and Segovia, on the same day are both magnificent. I recommend visiting on separate days, it's worth it!

Celia the best guide in Toledo - Great experience! The price is so low but you actually get a lot, first ride with professional driver to Toledo than meet with guide, stop to a panoramic view and a beautiful factory of damasquino (amazing jewlery). Our guide was Celia and she was AMAZING her knowledge is so complete and she gave us all the details about the city, best guide I ever had! 5 stars!!

Worst guided tour ever!!! - It was very easy to book this excursion online and the check-in process was quick and professional. The bus driver was very experienced driving through very tight spots and making sure we got there and back safely.
The disappointing part of this tour was that we were expecting to have a tour guide on the bus. The ride from Madrid to Toledo is an hour long and having a Guide on the bus perhaps explaining or informing us of what to expect or giving us some information about Toledo would’ve been very helpful. Instead, we picked up the guide once we were in Toledo. What’s the Guide got on the bus, we got excited, but it turned out that he was the worst guide we’ve ever had. He didn’t explain anything instead he just pointed things out and gave us their names. (which we could’ve done ourselves by looking at a map.) he just kept asking us to follow him and then he would stop give us a name of a church and then he would continue. It got to the point where it was so bad that we decided just to go out on our own and explore. It’s a good thing we had read up about Toledo the night before so we knew a little bit about its history because we did not learn a thing from this tour.

Toledo is a must see tour if you are in Madrid - The tour was OK, but it is annoying the waste of time of almost one hour when tey take you to a store to buy local items even before getting to Toledo.
the visit to the Cathedral is a no miss!!! but the Synagogue is a waste of time and money

I don't. - Poorly organized...
Too much time spent in the sword shop (the guide probably has a rating on what you buy ..)
One guide for English and Spanish (in both languages...)

The worst experience - I don’t recommend this tour at all our guide Luis left us not knowing Toledo for having us spinning around on the bus then stopped to see his iPhone, and he didn’t really explain anything or was watching the tour was horrible in Segovia my ticket said entrance to the cathedral and they didn’t respect that or give me entrance to the cathedral or something told me that it had nothing to do with them. Conclusion better walk only because it is a waste of time and you see nothing

Lousy. - If the guide accompanies the tour total or reimburses the client if they get lost and reach the bus, because it is bad enough not to have made the full trip and miss the experience for which it has been paid, no one pays to be stranded halfway

A very unhappy customer - The first thing when we do the reservation they told me to look for a red bus and the bus was no red. We get to Toledo and after the tours was over we take the wrong way back trying to be at the bus 15 minutes before and we get lost . No only they don’t wait for us nobody call or text me to find out if we’re okay. I will never use your company for any tour I think you are very irresponsible.

NOT RECOMMENDED (BETTER TO GO BY TRAIN ONLY) - Very bad management, the tour starts in a pessimistic way taking you to a shop that is clearly a turist trap, with inflated prices and which is mandatory to enter, making you lose 1 hour of the tour time to arrive.
Then you get to toledo, where they don't give the complete information and one must be asking the times and locations.
The tour is twice as long as it is mixed English and Spanish, so you should listen to the bad explanations in both languages, wasting even more time and leaving a free time that does not even reach to eat.
In short, I lost a day of my vacation buying this tour.
