Lorena fue nuestra guia. Muy simpatica, con la voz dulce, una sonrisa inolvidable, aun cuando el malo guarda de la basílica le hablo muy mal a ella. Cristina era muy simpática también, pero estaba en el grupo español, cuando estuvimos en el inglés. Fue excelente, mejor que el tour de la tarde in Toledo, con ese guía Jorge, arrogant, antipático y aburrido por su trabajo. Will be a fenomenal contrast between the mañana and the delay. No nos dio el gusto de Toledo. What a pena!

Escorial a must and Toledo second

The visit to the Escorial and the crypt where the kings and royal families rest is of incredible beauty. The San Lorenzo site, Valle de Los Caidos and its monolithic chapel a gem. Toledo is to be seen but the visit would benefit from taking a panoramic tour for photo enthusiasts. The circuit focuses solely on history. Many panaromic views are ignored in this guided tour.

Wonderful tour with very knowledgeable tour guides

The combination ticket is ideal. In the morning El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen. In the afternoon then Toledo. In between, a one-hour lunch break in Madrid, where you have time to strengthen yourself and possibly buy provisions for the bus trip. For both destinations, the travel companion was extremely friendly and told them knowledgeably about the respective story, one after the other, first in Spanish (because many participants came from South America) and then in the best English (for Germans, among others). Inquiries were possible at any time and we also had nice conversations. In Toledo you stop in a souvenir shop on arrival and departure where clean toilets are available free of charge. This is practical and offers a good breather. The walk in Toledo is incredibly interesting, and the walking distance is also challenging, especially when it's hot. Overall, I can warmly recommend this tour without reservation. It was a wonderful experience! Again any time!
