I opted for the 4hr tour which included the mezquita, Jewish quarter and the alcazar + gardens, the group size was perfect about 10 of us or so and our guide Jaime was wonderful. He took the time to explain everything, the pace was also very comfortable.

Roger_C

Mezquita history absolutely fascinating. Alcazar gardens beautiful in the sunshine, with the flowers and the water. Jaime is a great guide, clear explanations and lots of humour.

Our guide, James, was wonderful - he head extensive knowledge and delivered it with humour making the experience to a whole new level! The Mosque was just fabulous and the Jewish quarter was very interesting- unfortunately we had to leave the tour before the Christian quarter but thank you - my visit to Cordoba was memorable and I will be back - after all, I touched the statue of the doctor! Thank you!

What a fascinating place. Our guide provided excellent knoedge of the sites through history, but also information on the architectural innovations of the building.

Evamaria N

The tour is in two parts, with two different guides. The Mezquite was simply breathtaking, but our guide went into too much art historical detail. It was impossible to take everything in. The tour of the Synagogue, Jewish Quarter and Alcazar was more focused. Our guide Jaime provided interesting lesser-known facts and also allowed some time to wander.

Luis F

The guide was a experience person that dominate the his job knows very well about the history of the mesquite and Alcazar will recommend and also answer the questions ask to him.

Jason

Mosque tour guide did not give us time to take photos. The second guide was the worst. Why should I hear boring lectures on how Jews were discriminated for two hours! After I entered Alcazar I deserted the guide and took many photos of the garden. Please do not sell this tour.

All areas were covered. However it was hard to follow our guide English. Instead of repeat of same information, cut it shorter, and let people spend 20 minutes by themselves, especially the cathedral. It is a perfect place to soak in the beauty of the place without the information. Half of it I already forgot. Jewish quarter was a better experience.

Louise_L

Huge amount of history that was difficult to take in. The sheer size of the place was incredible, how did they build it at all without any mechanisation.
