Itinerary
The Guided Tour performed by expert historians, will lead you through an alive temple that has been witness to numerous historical events. It will not leave you indifferent. We will explain the different stages of construction, starting from the remains of the old Visigothic basilica of San Vicente that are still preserved. We will follow the Guided Tour to the old mosque that was built by Emir Abderraman I and the following expansions until the Almanzor period. After the conquest of the city by the Christian army the Mosque became Cathedral and occupied several warehouses due to the enlargement of the Caliph Al-Hakam II for liturgical celebrations. Later on, the existing transept of the Cathedral was built.
It will not leave you indifferent. Secondly, we will walk along the well-known Jewish Quarter, where we get to know the Synagogue, the Souk of the Craftsmen and the Monument to Maimonides.

What an incredible place! Our guide Patricia made it come alive and completely engaged our children. A must-see with this guide!
Spectacular view, complex history. Highly recommended! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and multilingual.
Really enjoyed the tour & guide was lovely & very informative; sadly I don’t have her name as we arrived late at the meeting point! The confirmation on Trip Advisor gave us the wrong meet address for some reason? Otherwise we enjoyed the experience
Very well organized with a very competent guide , very large mosque / cathedral , happy to have a guide
Highly recommended. Guide was great
This IS A CAN’T MISS in Cordoba! The cathedral is amazing, extremely historical and beautiful. The information given is a bit complicated. But, we had perhaps the BEST guide ever! Maria is clear and very easy to follow with the many details. She has clearly studied and is perfect for this tour. Maria was also helpful to us and other guests with particular needs. Well done!
Awesome experience! Our tour guides were SO knowledgeable and gave GREAT information about the sites we visited. Highly recommend!
Saray was a fantastic guide. She was passionate and knowledgeable and fun. We had a small group for the first part in the historic section and then the group was larger for the mosque and cathedral. The guide was great at keeping us together. We were lucky that the mosque/cathedral was not crowded so it was an enjoyable tour. It is probably one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been.
This was a brilliant tour. The Mosque/Cathedral is stunning and our guide was excellent. Very good value for money. The communication system worked very well.
If you are visiting the mosque of Cordoba I highly suggest doing it with a guide. Our guide, Mr. Salamanca, was very knowledgeable and gave us so much more information than what we already knew. We felt our experience was enriched with the guided tour and very worthwhile.
