Overview

This is one of the most beautiful and different walking tours in the world, as we enter into particular houses to see their courtyards. These private houses only open for this festival so this is the unique chance to go inside. You can speak with the owners, they will be very proud and happy to speak about how they managed to decorate such wonderful patios.

In this tour we visit the Winning Courtyards situated in hidden areas so it will be easier to find them with our guide.

    I would highly recommend this tour if visiting Cordoba for the festival de los patios! Whilst you can use a map to find the participating festivals yourself, the guide had the intel to take us to a variety of the best patios and gave us lots of interesting information if we needed to queue for a patio. The tour was in an area away from the Jewish quarter and so was much less busy than the Jewish quarter patios. We went on the tour on the final evening of the festival, which worked out well.

    Natalia did a wonderful job and we saw some amazing patios. It would have been a much better experience if half of the tour had not been in in French. We signed up for an English speaking tour but got only half of the tour guide’s attention in English.

    It was very informative and Maria was an engaging guide with excellent English. The only issue I would raise was perhaps the group was a little too big. Still would recommend it.
