Private Night Tour to Toledo from Madrid

If Toledo is a wonder by day, observing the illuminated city at night from the Mirador del Valle is simply spectacular. With the vehicle, we will stop at the main illuminated monuments, Alcántara Bridge, San Martín Bridge, Alfonso VI gate and Puerta del Sol, which with its artistic lighting makes the details more clearly appreciated. And from the Alcazar, we will continue with a private guided tour on foot, in which we visit the Plaza de Zocodover, the Cathedral of Santa María, the neighborhood of the sheds, the well of the Pozo del Salvador, the Jewish quarter, the Virgen de Gracia viewpoint and we will finish at Puerta del Cambrón. Where the vehicle will pick us up and return to Madrid. This experience can be tailor-made and extended with a typical tapas route during the tour or a reservation at a restaurant for dinner once the visit is over. The transfer to Madrid will be made after dinner in the latter case.
