Traveler reviews
Worth Visiting
Our guide was Alexis. He gave us a lot of good info. Our first stop was the charming city of Cordoba. We stopped there for about 30 min. Then onward to Cordoba. We split into two groups for the walking tour of the city. It would have been good to use whispers for this part of the tour because it was very crowded . The we had a lunch break and met again for a tour of Mezquita, where Whispers were used. Overall a great trip. The reason I didn’t give five stars is because of Naturanda. The meeting point was the office and they seemed disorganized.
Worth the bus ride
The Cordoba mosque/cathedral is amazing! Absolutely a must see, despite the somewhat lengthy drive from Sevilla. The bus is very comfortable so it really didn’t seem so long. Our guide inside, Anna, was so informative and friendly - one of the best guides we have had. We learned so much about the history and architecture we would not have if we had visited on our own without a guide.
Great experience in Cordoba & Carmona
Pia our guide was great; very knowledgeable and charming.. Just one thing, make sure you bring water and a snack to hold you over till lunch. It’s a long tour with lots to coverr and beautiful. Highly recommend it
Worth a visit, several renovations in progress right now
Certainly a picturesque hill top city with loads of history. Walkable from one side to the other. Currently some buildings are being renovated, but this doesn’t really affect the visit. Roman burial area investing but don’t expect too much.
Exceptional tour of Córdoba and the Mosque
Very good attention both in the office and from the guides.
