Please correct the duration hours on your website, it says that it is 5 hours and when I approached you told me that it was 6 hours, that complicated my day, since my flight left at 8:30 p.m. and I was forced to take a taxi to get to the airport

Was a bit unorganised to start off with but our tour guide was lovely and explained everything really well. She Walked us to the main city centre in Toledo, did some sight seeing on the way, then left us to do our own sight seeing. Was a good day overall but thought Toledo would be different.

Easy city to see on your own

Had a wonderful day in Toledo - one of my best days - and the bus was very comfortable and modern. Toledo is so interesting and I enjoyed the shops too. Nice that there were two time options for the return but would miss a lot if I had returned at the earlier time. My only suggestions are 1) provide better directions to the starting point since the street addresses are confusing due to a park, and 2) provide a map of Toledo (which I obtained from the tourist center that I noticed as we approached the city.
