Volví por unas pocas horas en agosto y septiembre a Madrid y fueron geniales. Me recibió de vuelta MAD y la encontré mejor que hace unos años, luminosa, radiante, calurosa, bella...

This is two separate tours. Escorial and Valley of the Fallen were great and by itself I would rate it a 5. After we got off the bus, we were told where to get the other bus (which we did not even realize we were back in Madrid except for the double decker tour buses) and this was not where we got on in the morning. Both cities are at least an hour away each from the city.Toledo's first part was basically an hour of shopping in a jewelry factory with a 2 minute demonstration of an older man making the jewely with no explanation. The town itself was nice. However, when we returned to Madrid the bus left us in a section of Madrid we did not know or recognize and the bus driver spoke no English just left us know we needed to get off. Thank heaven for Ubers or we would not have known how to return to our place since we did not speak Spanish. This is the only trip I was ever disappointed that I purchased from Viator.

My husband and I chose to do this full day tour and in hindsight it was not the best way to see all of these sights. In the morning we saw El Escorial and The Valley of the Fallen. Both were great and well worth the visit. We included the optional lunch- a delicious seafood paella. In the afternoon we drove to Toledo. I felt this part of the tour was too rushed. Toledo is very interesting and I would have liked more time there. As it was - the day was very long. I would recommend doing these as separate tours.

I requested English as my Spanish is not that strong. 5 people on this excursion requested English everyone else spoke Spanish. The guide spent most of the time speaking in Spanish. Since we had to wait for the translation, the no English were allowed to walk around and view things while we were being told what we were viewing. We were not given time to look. First tour with VPT Tours and I will NEVER book with them again.

Der Bus fuhr etwas verspätet los (35 Minuten) und ich bekam den Eindruck, dass diese Zeit fehlte um im Escorial wenigstens ein paar Fotos von der wunderbaren Aussicht zu machen. Es wurde die ganze Zeit nur gehetzt.das zog sich durch den ganzen Tag. Leider wurde in toledo die Basilika nicht von innen besichtigt. Die Erklärungen war sehr gut. Und das Personal sehr nett. Vielleicht lieber einen Punkt rausnehmen und dafür dem Rest mehr Zeit einzuräumen.

The tours and tour guides were great! The restaurant for lunch was chaos with poor food and we road on a sweltering hot bus back from Toledo. Yikes!
Recommend skipping the factory tour at the end. Instead, shop in the town of Toledo. I wish I had. There were so many great shops.

Tour guides were outstanding. Lunch was mediocre, bus had no air conditioner in the summer, passengers felt like they had heat exhaustion
