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!

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.
