TOLEDO ESSENTIAL (24 HOURS HOP ON & HOP OFF + GUIDED WALKING TOUR)

NEW EXPERIENCE
Starting Point Big Bus Toledo
Duration: 24 hours

Overview

Toledo is a city of contrasts. Its grandeur can be appreciated from the panoramic viewpoints high above the valley, but its soul is hidden in the narrow streets where the tourist bus cannot enter. With this combined ticket, you will have the best of both worlds: spectacular views and medieval stone corners.

Why choose the ‘Essential Toledo (24-hour hop-on hop-off + guided walking tour)’ ticket?

Our Hop-On & Hop-Off service gives you complete freedom. See a monument that fascinates you? Hop off. Want to spend hours exploring Toledo Cathedral or its famous Jewish quarter? Take your time. When you're ready to continue, the next bus will be waiting for you. Use our Big Buses throughout the day to discover the surroundings of Toledo and, after enjoying its spectacular panoramic views, join our local guides to immerse yourself in the heart of the city. You will take a guided walking tour of the old Jewish quarter and its labyrinthine medieval streets, where you will discover its stories and legends from our expert local guides.
