Our family, consisting of three adults, had the privilege of embarking on a private 2-3 hour tour of Jewish Toledo's history with Sonia. This unforgettable experience, booked through Tratoli, has lingered in my thoughts for two weeks, and the insights we gained continue to resonate with us. As observant Jewish travelers from the US, Sonia’s deep knowledge and genuine sensitivity towards Jewish customs and beliefs impressed us greatly. Moreover, we were incredibly thankful for her excellent command of the English language, which facilitated our understanding, given our limited Spanish proficiency. The visit to Toledo emerged as a highlight during our two-week stay in Spain. Opting for a private tour proved invaluable for delving into the rich tapestry of our Spanish Jewish heritage. Sonia's talent in providing multi-layered insights and adapting her approach to suit each member of our group enriched our journey. The exclusive access to parts of the Jewish quarter, typically closed to the public, added a unique dimension to our exploration. We extend our gratitude for a profound and impactful tour that has left us with enduring impressions and a deeper connection to our history. Thank you, Sonia and Tratoli, for this remarkable experience.
