Great, knowledgable...
Very knowledgable guide who was very engaging and tour conducted at a nice pace. We have a much greater understanding not only of the Mezquita but Cordoba and Andalusia.

Smart, efficient sight seeing option
We had just an overnight stay in Cordoba and this self-guided option enabled us to maximize our time in the city the afternoon of our arrival, followed by a must-do guided tour of the Mosque-Cathedral early the next morning.

Worth doing.
It was a good tour to do as you can do it at your own pace. Especially when you see the huge tour groups all looking grumpy as they can’t stop to buy an ice cream or stop for a Tinto Verano to break it up when you get too hot. I would say it was too brief. It could have included a stroll down the Jewish quarter and pointed out some interesting shops/cafes as you go along. I don’t know if that is doable - to have a commentary as you walk But it would have been a good addition. I had a little difficulty with my app not picking up sometimes but overall it worked fine. So yes, I would definitely recommend as it is cheap enough to try it just to see.

Good value and informative tour at your own pace
This is a really good app tour for getting to know Cordoba. We've other ones elsewhere because they allows us to hi go at our own pace, take a break if it's hot or tiring, and not be part of a big crowd. This one was a good length and very informative. Make sure you have your own ear pods or headphones and that you have good reception - ours cut out a few times but always came back.
