Good introduction tour
Great way to see the city both new and old parts. Martina is a great tour guide and helpful throughout the tour.
Little to see for the price you have
Just barely dressed up in the historic center. The cathedral and the company church. It came including the apple of lights and hardly anything is told.

Cordoba, truly "La Docta"
The city of Cordoba is very good!! It is highly recommended to visit the surroundings of St. Martin's Square, enter the Cathedral Church and from now on visit the Jesuit Apple. If times are right, it’s worth visiting the Museo Sobremonte, a true example of Creole Hispanic civil architecture. If you are surprised by the day, enjoy an excellent meal in La Vieja Esquina, you will thank me!!
