"A different way to get to know TOLEDO and its SURROUNDINGS®", Entorno Toledo decided to propose something new and different: a culturally enriching experience where we will take you through those charming hidden parts of the city but also through the most representative places; all with the aim of bringing forth information from archives and libraries, information researched by our team and imparted in an easygoing environment through a two hour tour.

ENTORNO TOLEDO

 

Toledo´s privileged geographical positioning, naturally hugged by the waters of the Tagus, and along with it being lived in since long forgotten times, make it a unique city in which a range of artistic styles predominate competing in beauty and harmony. In the midst of its medieval past, the “Escuela de Traductores de Toledo” (The School of Translaters of Toledo) stands out, reflecting the cultural coexistence and tolerance amongst the Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.

THEME TOURS:

Theme Tour® “Toledo: Legends & Anecdotes in the City of Three Cultures”

In this Theme Tour experience, we will take you through some of the most representative sites in the city, but also through those charming and hidden streets; all with the aim of conveying information from archives and libraries, researched by our team and imparted in a fun and culturally enriching tour.

Setting aside the standardised monumental information, we will walk you through two hours filled with legends and anecdotes, taking you back to ancient times.

These tours are walking tours, as this is in fact the best way of discovering Toledo; however, we have specially designed these so they don’t become tireing, with many stops where we will convey the legends and anecdotes that arose from the places we pass.

Our Theme Tours are exterior tours where we do not conduct any interior monument visits. The interior visit included in this tour is to a medieval well & dungeon. Our main value is in the information we convey; extracted from archives & libraries, researched by our team, imparting these investigations with the enthusiasm and passion that characterises our team, people that are truly fascinated by Toledo, people that love it and live it.

The tour lasts approximately two hours, the price per person being 20 € + 16% gst, with a minimum group size of 20 people. Smaller group size bookings will be charged at this minimum group size established.

* This Theme Tour is conducted by an English-speaking (bilingual) researcher. All the themes and content in the tour are based on the investigations undertaken by the researcher and the team at Entorno Toledo.
