I am speechless by the quality of this video . The content, the beautiful videos the maps etc.. It is clear that you are a great professional tourist guide . THANK YOU SO MUCH
We thank you for your kind words, Julie.
I got back from my trip to Spain last week and had a wonderful time in Valencia, Madrid, and Toledo. I followed your guide in order and it was perfect. I ended the first day at the cathedral (spectacular!) and then checked into the lovely hostel I stayed at next to the cathedral, Casa de Cisneros. Highly recommend Casa de Cisneros, especially for solo traveler. It’s in a renovated medieval building and their rooftop terrace view over the city looking toward the Alcazar is awesome!
Great to hear you had a great experience in Toledo and that our guide was of help. Thanks for the Casa de Cisneros recommendation!
I went to Toledo in Sept 2023 and had a wonderful experience.
Be prepared though the streets can be very intense. Make sure to wear great walking or running shoes. There’s lots of up hill streets but worth the hike up.
Definitely recommend going into the Cathedral St.Mary. The interior and frescos are spectacular!
This is a great informative video. 👏
Thank you! Great to hear you had a lovely experience in Toledo!
When I went to Toledo last April, I took Bus #71 to the highest stop, at Hospital Virgen del Valle, then walked across the street and down the paved trail to the Mirador del Hospital Virgen del Valle, which I had seen on Google Earth. I had studied the area carefully to see if there was an adequate trail down from there.
Unfortunately, I forget that the trail starts a little way before you get to the mirador, and so I was scrambling a bit and worried I might get injured -- and I was already limping from twisting an ankle two days earlier and then banging up my other knee that morning. Plus, I am not a young person! As soon as I saw the Parador to my left and a rough trail leading there, I went that way, which was a longer route down than I had planned. But I got to the famous mirador safely, and then caught the return bus from Los Cigarreles. The timing of the buses was about right for that adventure.
I still had one more day to limp through, which detracted somewhat from my enjoyment of Toledo (my last stop in Spain), but the city is certainly worth visiting.
There are many viewpoints around but we have selected the ones that are stress-free! The views from the Parador are also magnificent.
I'm from Canada and will be visiting Spain for the first time with friends in June. I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you for your outstanding videos (I have watched many hours already). This Toledo video is exactly what I have been searching for - details about what to see, stay one night or not? how to get there? Places to eat etc. Thank you!!
Many thanks for your kinds words, delighted to hear we are being helpful! All the best to you!
I stayed 2 nights. I really needed close to 2 full days to see everything I wanted to.
Tony had prepared an amazing guide again, It's nice to have mentioned all the stages of the trip. Tips about Elevator and view points are was very useful.
Thank you, Yağız.
The posada de la hermandad, museum of the. Holy office, definitely worth a stop.
Hello Tony & Cecilia! Excellent video &, stunning scenery so much so as to warrant more than 7 days. You are correct to say that a day trip is so rushed. We agree because we have done it with a tour. Now, however, after watching your video, we definitely would consider 10 or more days to travel slowly & really enjoy the history of Toledo while walking as much as our feet will allow. Thank you for such beautiful cinematography. 😊😊😊
Many thanks for your kind words!
I visited Toledo last year. This video brings back memories!
👍
Many thanks for this video. We just came back from Spain and Toledo stole our hearts. We only spend one day Toledo and thought we saw a lot, but after seen this video l find out we have a lot more to see. Next time we will stay at least 2 nights. A restaurant we love was The Clandestina. A 5 meal course that also included a glass of wine, water, bread coffee and cookies for the coffee for 30€ was one of the most delicious meal we had in Spain. Thanks once again!!!
Hi Walter, yes, many people who've been to Toledo are quite surprised by the amount of incredible places they didn't see. Thanks for the recommendation of La Clandestina! All the best!
You always have the best tips on how to enjoy Spain.
Thank you, Indy!
So beautiful! Another reason to visit Spain again 😍 thanks for the tips Tony and Cecilia 👍 we will follow your advice when we visit Toledo.
Excellent, Toledo is wonderful!
Exceptional video! What a wonderful city! Beautiful images as always! Objective and useful information! Everything you need to know about Toledo 👏
Many thanks for your kind words, Yara.
Tony, Thank you SO MUCH for posting this guide to Toledo today! I am going to a conference in Valencia later this week and then plan to spend 4 days in Madrid before returning to the US. I was planning to do a day trip to Toledo but now I will definitely spend a night there instead. I’m looking for a hotel right now in the historic center. If you have any recommendations, I’d appreciate it. Oh, and I purchased your guide to Toledo too-so excited to see the city!
Thank you, Gerald, glad to hear the Toledo guide arrived at a very convenient time to you. I assume you have seen our video on Valencia too. Blank hotel recommendations are always hard, at our most recent stay in Toledo we stayed at this apartments, simple but conveniently located: www.booking.com/hotel/es/grecorooms.es.html?aid=359492 Have a great trip!
Thanks for the tip, Tony. There seems to be many good choices. Indeed, I have watched your Valencia video. In fact, your channel has been my primary source of preparing for my trip (learning vocabulary for tapas is essential 😊)Also, great info on public transportation. Interestingly, I discovered your channel last year when preparing trips to Portugal and at the time I didn't know I'd be going to Spain too. One-stop shopping....)
Exactly what I need now! Thank you Thank you!!!
Great to hear that!
Felicidades Tony por esta nueva etapa en Inglés. Yo vivo en Holanda y mi pareja y yo estamos planeando irnos a vivir a España. Tus vídeos son muy útiles para nosotros. Te sugiero hablar del clima en las ciudades ya que es importante a la hora de elegir una ciudad para vivir. Nosotros preferiblemente queremos un clima suave, sin extrema temperatura alta en verano....Somos adultos mayores..Gracias 😊
Muchas gracias, María. La verdad es que el canal en inglés ya ha cumplido tres añitos, poco a poco. Hicimos un vídeo sobre la dificultad de hablar del tiempo aquí: ua-cam.com/video/ARhM31zD844/v-deo.html Un saludo.
Thanks!
That's very kind of you.
Your video made me realized how little we saw last time we were there☹️ will definitely spent more time there during our next visit
Yes, most people don't get to scratch the surface of what Toledo has on offer, which is quite a lot. Always good to have a reason to return to a place you liked!
Hola Tony. This is the best video on Toledo I have seen. Your photography is excellent. Will you do a video on Mallorca? It is a wonderful place as well, especially the west coast of the island. Thanks for your many wonderful videos. In my opinion, your station is essential viewing for anyone travelling to Spain.
Thank you, Patrick. We've been to Mallorca several times, but that was before we had the channel. We are returning to the capital on the second half of this year, but we will just be covering Palma, the beaches will have to wait.
I enjoyed your detailed and serene video. In fact, I had been to Toledo twice but both were day trips only. After watching your video, I know I have missed a lot!
Now I am planning to stay 5 nights in this beloved city. Can you recommend a list of hotels or BBs for me?
Muchas gracias.
Hello, many thanks for your kind words. We don't have any content ready on accommodation in Toledo, but if you find a place you like and want to know our opinion, do ask!
iHola Tio Tony! I'm very excited for the coming few years as Spain will be the site of back-to-back solar eclipse viewing opportunities in the summers of both 2026 and 2027! The 2026 total eclipse will pass over northern Spain from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean coast as well as the Balearic Islands. The total eclipse will be visible from the cities of Valencia, Zaragoza, Palma and Bilbao but both Madrid and Barcelona will be just outside the path of totality. The 2027 total eclipse will commence over the eastern Atlantic Ocean and travel past the Strait of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco. Totality will be visible in southern Spain. I can't wait to see your upcoming content on practical information and insider tips for these two incredible events!
I'm excited because during the upcoming US eclipse in April 2024, I'll actually be in Europe (Paris) and so I'll miss that, but good to know that there's at least 2 more I can look forward to in the not too distant future.
Hi Tony, right on about that zip line!!! Got your guide and we will be there Friday. Can you hold off the rain for us??
Hope the forecast for Friday proves wrong! And hope you'll have a great time in Toledo. Think positive, many of the visits are indoors!
👍
Thank You for the lovely video. Please can you do a video on day trip to Ronda too.
We visit Ronda at the end of this road trip ua-cam.com/video/qGdYhLEBiFA/v-deo.html
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank You so much for the quick response 👍🏼
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Please could you do a detailed video of Ronda, how to spend a day & how to reach the best viewpoints of the gorge. I checked the above link but it is only a quick summary. Thanks 😀
@@pervizudaipurwala1229 we will have to return to Ronda to record that video.
👏👏
👍👍👍
Hi Tony! Thank you for another comprehensive and informative video guide! I have a question - how can we find the escalator you mention at the beginning of the video? The one you recommend to take instead of walking up the stairs? I was trying to find it on google maps, but failed. Could you give us the coordinates to put in google map, please? Thank you so much!
Hi Svetlana, see the location of the entrance to the escalator here maps.app.goo.gl/88oe7nMmPopagcGC9
Hello Tony, Amazing video and very helpful. But I would like to ask an additional question about if I were to buy a knife in toledo ( as a souvenir to bring home to my friend who’s a big fan of knives/swords) and I plan to take the knife (still wrapped) back home through the airport to, will I even be able to do that? Or will I not be able to bring it back home? And if it’s possible, what should i need to do to let me pass through security without any problem with security and all. Thanks for any help 🙏
Hi Gabriel, if you put the knife inside your checked-in luggage you shouldn't have any problems.
hi Tony, I will be visiting Toledo next week. I bought my train tickets b4 watching your video. I am convinced that I really should get the 1 day self-guided tour so save time. My train will arrive at 8.23am and leave at 5.47pm. Will I have sufficient time to explore everything in the guided tour? gracias
Hi Irene, you are arriving in Toledo too early (attractions open at 10 am) and returning far too early. You will struggle to complete the day tour, you might not make it to some of the attractions.
Thanks Tony, I have changed the timing of my train tickets
I purchased the walking tour and it looks great. I’m going to be visiting in August and I’ve tried to buy train tickets from Madrid but can’t find any on the Renfe website. Is it too far away(3 months)? How far away can I buy tickets? I will be with 3 other people.
Hi Tito, yes, it's too far ahead. With Renfe, you never know when tickets go online, but you can simulate a purchase for an earlier date to get an idea. The prices for the Madrid-Toledo train are always the same. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you for the reply. Your videos and guides are the best! We will be in Zaragoza for a night. If you want to meet for dinner with me and my family you are most welcome to come along 😊
@@titobandito6060 hope you'll have a wonderful stay!
Hi Tony thanks for this detailed information. Would I be able to visit the Toledo viewpoints with the walking Tour ? If not, do I take a taxi to the viewpoints and then begin the walking tour. I'm visiting on Monday and would.like to purchase the walking tour ?
Hi Deborah. The walking tour doesn't include the viewpoints. So take a taxi when you arrive in Toledo, visit the viewpoints and then head to Puerta de Bisagra, the beginning of the walking tour. Try to begin your walk no later than 9:30 am.
@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal HI Tony thanks for the response. Our train arrives in Madrid at 9:11 so it might be wise to skip the viewpoints and start with the walking tour. Your thoughts?
@@deborahfrancis9763 you should be fine. The first monument along the route (Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz) opens at 10am.
Hey, would you recommend eating at Muello Uno ? Is it a very touristy place to eat with touristy prices ?
Never heard of such a place in Toledo.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Sorry, I asked on the wrong video. Muelle Uno is in Malaga 😀
Hi Tony 4 adults going in September.Do you have a recommendation on a hotel or apartment for a one night stay over from Madrid.
Thanks 🙏
Hi, we haven't got that content yet but if you see a hotel you like (we don't do blank recommendations, they are a waste of time), ask us!
