Itinerary
Meeting with the guide at the Moon Gate. The excursion begins with an interesting walking tour of the Jewish quarter, a network of narrow streets that keep beautiful corners such as Calleja de las Flores.
Next, we will visit the Alcázar, an impressive fortress with gardens that invite the walk. We will also tour its interior and admire the beautiful Hall of Mosaics and the Baths of Dona Leonor de Guzmán, among other places. *IMPORTANT WARNING!* : The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos will be closed completely from January 7, PENDING CONFIRMATION OF A NEW OPENING DATE, so it will not be possible to visit this monument normally. Therefore, this part of the tour will be replaced by a visit to the Caliph Baths and a tour of the Old Palace Quarter with some of its most emblematic courtyards, at no additional cost and without changes to your reservation.
We will end the visit enjoying the imposing Mosque-Cathedral, one of the great jewels of the world of Muslim and Christian art. We will walk through the forest of columns and learn about its more than twelve centuries of history.

Very nice experience. Well worth it. Our guide was beautiful Isabel. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her city. It was a pleasure to listen to her explanation and she was very patient with us, answering all our questions. It makes so much more sense seeing all those architectural wonders, it helps to appreciate them more.
Very interesting Fabulous guide will prepare nice very Clear and communicative Magnificent places Perfect weather
I must say that the tour was a bit of a disappointment and did not meet our expectations. The guid was sick, so could barely talk and was out of breath as we walked, the information was poor and even wrong at times, and the guid missed on several milestones as we passed by. Moreover, the Alcazar building was undergoing some renovation work, so we didn't get to go inside despite paying for it (we should have been informed about this since the renovations are ongoing since June!). The good part though was the second guid, who took over from the first at the mosque/cathedral, she was excellent with rich information.
Dear customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations, and we appreciate your honest comments, as they help us continue improving our services. Regarding the Alcázar, we would like to clarify that the building has been closed to visitors due to restoration works since July 2nd. This information has been clearly stated on all our sales platforms and booking channels, so guests are informed in advance before making their reservation. Unfortunately, these works are managed by the monument itself and are beyond our control. Concerning the first guide, we regret that his condition affected your experience and that the information provided did not meet our usual standards. This is certainly not the level of quality we aim to offer, and your comments have been shared internally for review. We are, however, very pleased to hear your positive remarks about the second guide at the Mosque-Cathedral. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Once again, thank you for your feedback. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a much more satisfying experience. Thank you and best regards,
We went on a small group guided walking tour of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba with Anna. We didn't do the extended tour of the Mezquita, choosing to do that ourselves. Anna was very knowledgeable, an excellent tour guide, providing us an excellent history of the area and explaining the sites to us. The pace of the tour as good and the volume of information she provided was just right.
With Gemma we visited the Jewish Quarter, the Alcazar Gardens (unfortunately closed for renovation), the Caliph Baths (in addition precisely because Alcazar is under renovation) and the mosque. Very nice and complete tour for those who have little time to stay in Cordoba. Very nice gem and very prepared. I recommend it!!!
Let's go for part... Our guide Miguel...is a person who transmits...is a person who tells you things so that you understand them...in the technical aspect it is 10...but it is not less true that he had inappropriate behaviors that had not to do with his work... Comments as "We went to a health rally and Canal Sur didn't get anything and that's why people vote PP."... Doubt the version of the cathedral fire letting us see what for political interests was not told the truth...."those are your friends"...(I love to be directed those comments)... to ask us "what do you work on?" Anyway... an unprofessional purpose...and all this after seeing that I was wearing (I saw him look at them several times) bracelets of the flag of Spain and the Guardia Civil..... If Miguel... I'm the one with the little bracelets... The point is that I want to separate one thing and another and I put it to clarify because I do not put all the stars. Forget about anything other than your job Miguel as you could be a good professional. Greetings and Cordoba in my ❤️

We visited the Mosque/Cathedral with Rafa guide. The mosque is beautiful, however Rafa managed to make us love it even more with his very nice but at the same time very professional doing. The visit was beautiful with full satisfaction. Rafa bravo: take a guided tour if you want to understand as well as see. It's worth it!
It's been a fantastic trip. We had a great time. There's a lot to see. Besides the weather and the people... they make you not want to leave. We'll be back.
Guide’s English was not very good. She had a strong accent and was difficult to understand. I and other members of the tour didn’t think she was very knowledgable or it might have been she didn’t understand what we were asking.
