We did Classical cities of old Castile with Toledo, and On the Waterfront - a self-guided journey by rail. Both itineraries were quite terrific, and we have the following recommendations to add to Inntravel's excellent notes.
We loved the walk in the park overlooking Segovia. The hotel Rector in Salamanca was truly lovely and the staff wonderful. The Art Deco museum in Salamanca is a must and the cafe in the museum was good. Momo was a good restaurant/ wine bar in Salamanca. Santa Cruz museum in Toledo was fantastic and the mosque converted to a church was lovely and very interesting.
Here's a tip:- Hotel Catalonia las Cortes provides courtesy snacks and hot drinks throughout the afternoon and until 23:00. Very useful to bridge the gap between a large breakfast and a full dinner. Lovely to be able to get a hot drink any time of day.
Also - take an umbrella - Spain can be wet in mid-October
3 of the 4 hotels provide coffe machines in the room - lovely! You could use them with a tea bag too!

Lovely tour of four great Spanish cities with excellent hotels, but there is a certain sameness to the architechture and we thought in retrospect that doing it as two well spaced, four/five night trips would have been better
This is our 4th self-guided journey by rail and we booked the extension to Toledo and did this part of the journey first followed by Segovia, Salamanca and finally Madrid due to our connecting flight back to Manchester being very early in the morning. We extended our holiday staying 3 nights at Toledo, Salamanca and Madrid and kept to the 2 nights at Segovia.
TOLEDO: We purchased the Toledo wristband which made good value for money on the entry fees and visited all the included sites. We did not follow the Inntravel trail in the order due to the opening and closing times of the sites. However, everything is all within good walking distance of each other. Highlights of the tour were the Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes, Sinagoga Santa Maria la Blanca and Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz. The most spectacular visit was to the Cathedral and we spent well over 3 hours as there was so much to see. It was amazing. The entrance ticket included a free English audio guide which was excellent and we then followed this up by taking our photographs. Meals – we dined one evening at the Hotel San Juan de los Reyes and suggest you book as the dining room fills with their own hotel guests.
In Madrid we would add La Mucca de Prado (Calle del Prado 16) and Pizzeria Cervantes (Calle de Leon 8) to the list of recommended restaurants as they are close, both with good food and good value. They are also open throughout the day, so you do not have to wait until late to eat. We also appreciated the free snacks in the Hotel Catalonia Las Cortes in Madrid.
Overall the holiday was good. Perfect weather did of course help. In retrospect, perhaps four cities in 8 days was too much. We found Madrid a difficult city to get a handle on. We planned to do the flea market (El Rastro) and then the Prado on the Sunday, after arriving from Salamanca at lunchtime. By the time we walked to the market it was shutting down and area was rather chaotic and, unusually for me, I felt a little unsafe - certainly not a place to get the iPad out and check directions. We then walked to the Prado hoping to make a quick visit, taking advantage of the free entry after 17:00. By 16:45 however I estimated the queue to be in the many hundreds if not nearer to two / three thousand. We did not wait around but as a result I felt we wasted most of the first half day of a one and a half day visit. I wonder if the holiday would be better without Madrid. My advice to other people on the holiday is to think hard about what you want to do in Madrid - check carefully opening times, and what day things are shut, and be very aware of possible overcrowding and queues particularly around the free sessions. Also, be aware that the museums seem to shut areas off during the free sessions and, frustratingly, give little information out about what is closed off. We therefore spent some time attempting to take a lift to a fourth floor in the Reina Sofia only to be told by a guard - "but it is Sunday you cannot go to the fourth floor on a Sunday".
This is our second holiday with Inntravel and we will use them again and have already recommended them to friends who like to travel on their own with the ‘structure’ of the holiday arranged. The hotels have all been of a high standard and character-filled. The walking notes are interesting, clear, informative and often amusing. A wonderful holiday!
