If you are in Madrid for a week, then it is worth it, although in the summer there are most likely a lot of tourists. And if in Madrid for a couple of days, then it's useless.

As for me, Toledo is much cooler than Madrid. We traveled by ecucursion, they are sold for 25 Euro, like, in places where excursions are sold and iturist stalls. Departure in the morning, arrival in the evening around 5:30, so there is still time for evening Madrid.
In Madrid, the company that will bring you offers a walking tour - be sure to take it (if you know English). This excursion is about 2 hours, but justifies itself to the penny. They also offer lunch for 10 Euros (2 dishes and a drink - 250 ml of wine) at a local restaurant - take it too, for this amount an excellent lunch, delicious dishes, I have never eaten such a tasty paella, meat dishes are also excellent, the restaurant itself is very authentic .
Well, or you can eat in other places in Toledo - a set lunch costs from 8.5 to 13 Euros - look for "Menu del dia" on the signs - this is it.
There is more history in Toledo than you can imagine, the town is absolutely interesting and impressive, memories for a lifetime (which cannot be said about Madrid).

Without Toledo, you will not see Spain, Madrid acquired its appearance during the reign of the Habsburgs in Spain, therefore it does not reflect Spain, it has more similarities with Vienna. Reread Feuchtwanger's "Spanish Ballad" before the trip.

Toledo is famous for its Toledo blades; gunsmiths from Damascus settled there at one time. Toledo knives are still being sold, but there are many fakes, especially near the Cathedral. The real one costs twice as much as the Swiss one. Beware of Russian-speaking sellers, one such (from Ukraine) offered me exactly the same knife that I saw in Moscow in the underpass before leaving - Chinese cheap stuff, only with the inscription "Toledo"!

I really liked Toledo. The most interesting thing is a visit to the winery, where the guide took us. Wine, cheese - must try. And it's better to go there with a guide, it's much more interesting. I can advise my - https://v-madride.com/
