However, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, due to being in a dilapidated state, it was completely rebuilt by Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, and the old minaret of the mosque was transformed into a bell tower in Mudejar style.3 Its fame is due to all for housing inside, the painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz by El Greco, which can be seen by accessing the back of the church.

    Toledo is beautiful - not a half day tour!

    When I showed up for this tour, I was advised it was a full 8 hours. When I showed my purchase of "half day," I was told that if I "really wanted," someone could drive me back to Madrid when the group had their free time for lunch at 2PM - with travel, it would have been over an hour past the advertised length. As it turned out, the group voted to have lunch earlier, and if I had agreed, I would have missed the synagogue stop. The tour was good but this should not be advertised as a half day. Luckily, I didn't have anything else scheduled later in the day. Toledo is beautiful. This was also a bi-lingual tour so there was downtime when the guide repeated things in English and Spanish.

    Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, We agree with you that Toledo is beautiful. This is a max 6 hours half day tour, however, on that day we could give you the opportunity to stay 2 hours more with the group to enjoy some free time that would have of course been given after the visit of the Synagogue if you were willing to return earlier which you preferred not to benefiting from this extra time. Thanks for joining our tour. Best regards, Fun and Tickets Team

    Aracha is a fantastic tour guide

    Aracha (hope I spelled that correctly) is a fantastic tour guide, never stopping switching between English and Spanish. She is patient with the entire group and looks after everyone while on tour with her. I would absolutely book her again

    Response from the operator: Dear Eric, Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience on our Toledo tour. We’re delighted to hear that Arantxa made such a great impression. Guiding seamlessly in both English and Spanish while remaining patient, attentive, and making sure everyone in the group is well looked after is something we’re very proud to hear.

    Very impressive sightseeing

    Lots of walking up and down hills, stairs galore. Not for anyone with bad legs or back.

    Response from the operator: Dear traveler, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear that you found the sightseeing in Toledo impressive. We also appreciate you highlighting the physical demands of the tour. Toledo’s hills, stairs, and uneven routes can make the visit challenging for travelers with limited mobility or back and leg problems, so your observation is very useful for others considering the experience. Thank you for choosing Fun and Tickets and for taking the time to provide this practical feedback. Kind regards, Fun and Tickets Team

    Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.

    How much does Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge cost?

    +

    Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.

    Is Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 293 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge?

    +

    Around 103 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Toledo Half Day Tour with Cathedral, St Tome Church & Synagoge start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Madrid?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Madrid?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Madrid?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
