Guide emilio was very professional and passionate. He was a wealth of information. The pace of the tour was good and it didn't seem rushed. The only suggestion would be to add a little more time at the beginning for restroom (the line was very long due to several of the toilets not working) and browsing the the gift shop. There wasn't really enough time to do that before the bus picked us up to take us back to old town.

Unser sympathischer guide hat von Anfang bis Ende interessant und unterhaltsam erklärt. Die Führung ist ein Muss, sonst wäre die Medina Azahara nur eine Ruine. Wir hatten auch keine langen Wartezeiten. Nicht beim Einlass ins Auditorium und nicht beim shuttle bus. Ich würde es wieder buchen.

J'ai vraiment apprécié la visite de la Médina avec Saray. Je suis française et bien que ne parlant pas correctement l'espagnol j'ai compris sans problème toutes ses explications. Elle connaît parfaitement son sujet et on voit qu'elle est passionnée par son métier.

Emilio is a great tour guide with stories about the Medina I wouldn't be able to find myself on short notice!

Medina Azahara is a vast archaeological site featuring the remains of a 10th-century palace-city built by Abd al-Rahman III, the first Caliph of Córdoba. This skip-the-line guided tour ensures seamless access and expert insights into its history.
