How long is the Toledo Express tour from Madrid?

The Toledo Express lasts approximately 6 hours. Two daily departures: 9:30 AM (returning 2:30 PM) and 12:00 noon (returning 5:00 PM) from Fuente de Neptuno in central Madrid. This makes it the perfect option if you want to spend the rest of the day exploring Madrid or have an evening flight or train.

What does the Toledo Express include?

The Toledo Express includes round-trip transport by air-conditioned coach, a bilingual expert guide, a 60-minute guided walking tour of the UNESCO historic centre (Zocodover Square, Jewish Quarter, Cathedral exterior), an artisanal Suárez sword workshop demonstration, and free time for lunch or independent exploration. During booking you can add the guided visit to Santo Tomé Church for only €5 more (€39 total).

Is the Toledo Express enough to see Toledo's highlights?

The Express covers the visual highlights of Toledo's medieval old town in a morning. If you want a panoramic photo stop at the iconic Mirador del Valle, choose Toledo Experience instead. For the most complete experience including Cathedral entry and a VIP wristband to 7 monuments, the Toledo Full Day tour is the upgrade option.

Why are there two options when I book — do I have to choose?

Both options include the full guided tour with bilingual local guide, transport and the sword workshop. The only difference is whether you add the guided interior visit to Santo Tomé Church (home to El Greco's "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz") for €5 more. Select your preferred option when booking.
