Traveler reviews
Great tour!
Great experience! Big comfortable bus. Tour broken into smaller groups by language. Pia is a wonderful guide.
Cordoba tour!!
Had a lovely time in Cordoba. Martina made the tour fun. She was very helpful!!
Good tour learning about the history and architecture of the area
The tour was great visiting Cordoba and Carmona with Mezquita,Synagogue and Patios. There is alot of walking so make sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry water. The meeting point is one of their three offices and we had to walk about 7-10 mins to get to the bus from the tour office closest to our hotel. There were two guides on our bus who were able to speak different languages. The bus had one comfort stop before reaching our destination and the same coming back. We were split into two groups according to languages when we reached our two destinations. Both destinations were very interesting and the Cathedral tour was great - our tour guide there was an archeologist working in the Cathedral. We were given time at both destinations to stop for a break. Overall good tour learning about the history of the area and the architecture.
Excellent trip
Excellent trip, guides were very knowledgeable and very attentive. Would definitely recommend. Cathedral and mosque were beautiful, well worth a visit
A must-do
The coach is comfortable with a good driver. We could not have a French guide, but we had one in English. For the Mesquita visit, use an audio guide. You need to be in good shape if you want to take a lot of photos and follow the guide at the same time. Very good Info: there is less than 10% off the price of the following excursions.
