A wonderful visit. Not only the majesty of the place, but the guide. Unmatched clarity, warmth, charisma, passion and attitude. Super recommended! I'll come back every time I can 'cause there's so much to discover
We made a spontaneous day trip from Sevilla to Córdoba specifically to see the Mosque-Cathedral. We picked Oway Tours based on reviews here on TripAdvisor and could not have been happier with our choice. Jose, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the history and architecture, he was friendly, kind, and great with questions/answers. His English was excellent and was totally cool with my hit-and-miss Spanish questions. One other thing we really appreciated was the wired earbuds on the Bluetooth radios. Some other tours have the over-the-ear, single ear headphones that work intermittently, at best. There's a time and place for fancier tech, but a tour such as this is not it. I find old school is best — it just works. Check out Oway — they do a great job!
A good tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide who explained the history of the mosque cathedral in great detail. The mosque/cathedral is definitely a must do and the tour was well organised.
Great visit with our guide Gloria, which has been charming and has explained very well the whole cathedral mosque, providing not only data but also various curiosities. Highly recommended
My wife and I joined this tour during our recent wider tour of Andalusia. We booked it through Viator but the tour was delivered by OWAY Tours. Christina was our guide for this English tour and she was excellent. Headsets were provided which enabled us to wander away from the group to take photographs but still remain in touch with the commentary. Christina’s delivery was excellent, easy to understand and we were able to ask questions as and when required. The tour lasted for two hours and covered every aspect and history of the Mosque-Cathedral. Very highly recommended
Dear Robin, First of all, thank you very much for your kind words about Krisztina's work. On the other hand, we are very proud that you enjoyed the story and the dynamics of the tour. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, The OWAY Tours Team
Micaela, thank you! Thank you for your ability to summarize 18 centuries with wisdom, art and motivation. Thanks for teaching us so much. Thanks to you we are leaving more in love with Cordoba and its people.
the monument is exceptional and especially not to be missed passing by Cordoba; having taken a guided tour we could only see what the guide wanted; we could not admire all the alleys and it is a shame advice: make the tour without guide , at his pace
Visit to the Old Town of Cadíz. A 10 the guide and its explanations It helps us to know and know better the city we visit. Where we have always done Free Tour.
Micaela our guide explained to us, the process of construction and subsequent extensions of the mosque, very well. I would re-arrange a guided activity with her and the company
Muchísimas gracias por su comentario. Estaríamos encantados de recibirles de nuevo.
Fantastic tour around la mezquita de Córdoba. Our guide, Rafael, was very knowable and made visiting the monument a great experience.
