A really wonderful experience during our tour with Elena. She is warm, engaging, and very educated about her topics of interest. She communicate communicated well, and was prompt and showed up on time. We learned quite a bit about the Al- Andalusia caliphate in Cordoba with her, and she was able to field many questions that we had concerning a very complex history of the area. My wife and I would very much recommend Elena to tour the historical sites of Cordoba.
Ana is an amazing guide, she made the tour enjoyable and had answers to all the questions my children could think of. We ended up happy and recommend it 100%!
What an amazing and special place to visit, definitely worth it as you can use your imagination on how life there used to look like when your guide tell you all the stories. We were guided around very nicely by Belén who knows how to make the stories come to life.
My son and I recently did the private tour of Madinat Al Zahar with Elena. It was truly an amazing experience. Elena’s knowledge of the historical, religious, and social significance of the site was incredible. She provided insight about the daily life of the inhabitants as well as information about the relationship to things happening in today’s world. I would definitely recommend this tour with Elena.
Thank you Jeff!!

I toured with the guide Elena, highlighted her professionalism, historical knowledge of the city, and the love received.
Gracias Inmaculada, fue un placer acompañaros por la ciudad brillante!
I booked Elena through Toursby Locals and my husband and I were very happy with our tour. Madinat al Zahra is an amazing place but it is important to understand its history and also to have a guide to bring to life the ruins and their story. Elena was able to do that. She also helped with our transport which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend
Thank you Toni!
We had a wonderful experience visiting the site. Our guide Elena was outstanding. The site is well worth a visit while in Cordoba. Elena was kind, well informed and explained every historical detail concerning what is known about the place. She went above and beyond and even helped us arrange transportation after the visit. I could not recommend her enough.
Thanks a lot!!
As I was solo traveling and it was my first time in Spain, I had no idea what to expect so I booked this service, and I have been absolutely amazed at how knowledgeable this tour was. I have learned a lot, had lots of fun as well, and would totally recommend this tour to everybody. Would I do this again you ask? Yes! definitely hundred times over!
Thank you Aliyah! And thanks for your trust to arrange your visits with Mind your Guide in Sevilla and Granada as well <3
