My husband and myself went on a private tour of medina azahara a couple of weeks ago. We had such a wonderful experience with our tour guide Lola. I felt very comfortable with her from the beginning. Her knowledge of this archeological site was superb! Not only was she passionate about this part of history but she went over and above making sure we had the best experience in Cordoba! What a memorable tour! We will never forget our time with Lola!

Antonio was the best private tour guide we could have hope for. He is extremly knowledgeable of Medina Azahara and its place in history. Inquisitive and engaging, inviting us into the conversation as he walked us throughout the site.
This was the proper way to visit Antonio’s Córdoba.
All the best,

Carmen é uma guia excepcional. Muito cuidadosa e gentil, muito didática e atenciosa aos fatos. Fez o local e sua história ser ainda mais interessante. Apesar de ser brasileiro e falar português, fiz o tour em espanhol e não tive dificuldades.

A SPECTACULAR VISIT, HE IS A GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY, NOT ONLY OF MEDINA AZAHARA, BUT ALSO OF AL-ANDALUS IN GENERAL. WE LOVED HIS EXPLANATION, AND THE LOVE WITH WHICH HE TREAT US. I WENT WITH MY MOTHER, AND SHE ALSO LEFT DELIGHTED. SO I GIVE IT NOT A 10, BUT AN 11!!!!

The guided tour of Medina Azahara is very worthwhile. Delighted with our guide Antonio! He has explained to us not only the Medina, but also much of the Andalusian culture in a pleasant and entertaining way, there was no question for which he did not have an answer and he has fascinated us. Don't hesitate to take the tour, the experience would not have been the same without Antonio.
