The importance of Toledo is unequivocal, and on this exclusive walking tour you will discover the city's greatest treasures, spanning Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures. With the keys to two secret underground spaces in hand, explore little-known locations in a state of absolute preservation.
In these underground spaces, you'll find a public cistern that remained in communal use until the 15th century, when it began to be used by the Trinitarian friars, and the archaeological remains of an ancient Jewish house built in the 14th century that showcase the life in these locations with their distinct religions. Back above ground, wander through the winding cobblestone streets for more discoveries and to visit iconic monuments.
This is above all a very particular and broad view of the history of Toledo!
