Hi,
We arrive in Madrid on a Monday morning for 3 nights. The first day no plans. Day 2 early evening Tapas and History tour. On day 3, tentative 8 person tour for 8 hours from Madrid to Toledo. The van ride to Toledo is approximately 2 hours. Which means we only have 4 hours for the tour then 2 hours ride back to Madrid. We leave the following day for Seville. Should we skip the Toledo tour….? And why or why not?
Thanks in advance

Would you consider going to Toledo on your own by train? We did so last November using Rick’s chapter on Toledo and had a full day there. If that interests you I can send you my trip report. The train takes much less than 2 hours and you can taxi from the train to the tourist area. Toledo is wonderful.
On the other hand there is plenty to do in Madrid, especially if you like art museums.
Edited to add: If you like cathedrals and El Greco’s art, those were the standouts for us in Toledo. In Madrid The Prado and the Royal Palace were our top sites.

AS suggested, I'd do Toledo on your own as a day trip. Just uner an hour by train, and you are not tied to doing all in 8 hours.
