A visit that at first sight seems long: 4 hours! Fortunately, just an hour before the end, a 15-mî break is welcome! And as the rest of the tour is the most impressive part (the Mezquita-Catedral), time flies. Even though the Alcázar is being restored and the gardens are open to the public, the explanations were a real plus. The visit was really rich and very enjoyable, especially thanks to our guide Noémie, who was very pleasant and interesting, with a touch of humor and a simple way of comparing history from yesteryear to the present day.

This tour highlighted the beauty and special features of Córdoba perfectly. Our guide, Jaime, was very well-informed and presented the city, cathedral and castle in a funny, entertaining and very memorable way. His recommendations for further sights were great. A tour you won't forget!

The tour was very good, with some incredible monuments. However, we were disappointed not to be able to visit the Alcázar and not to have been informed beforehand, which was dishonest. The guide, Genevieva, was extraordinary, a very fine performance.
