Stop At: Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba, Calle del Cardenal Herrero 1, 14003 Cordoba Spain

the beauty of Córdoba’s great mosque, with its remarkably serene and spacious interior. One of the world's greatest works of Islamic architecture, the Mezquita hints, with all its lustrous decoration, at a refined age when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived side by side and enriched their city with a heady interaction of diverse, vibrant cultures.

Duration: 2 hours

It fulfilled all our expectations with two excellent and committed guides. They were helpful and knowledgeable. Only slight disappointement was the place recommended for lunch. It was cheap, lacked character and the food was indifferent. We would have happily paid a lttle more for something better

The Mosque Cathedral was magical! It was one of the most amazing places we have ever visited. Our guides were fun and educational all in all a fantastic day!

I had really high hopes for this trip and it really fell flat. I have wanted to travel to Cordoba for years and was so excited to finally have the opportunity to do so. The smaller group tour was apprecaited. The company did reach out to me the day before my trip to let me know that no one else had signed up for Carmona and that they had to cancel this aspect of the trip for me. While this was disapointing as I chose this because of that option, and there were no other tours that allowed just one booking to Carmona available, I do apprecaite their transparency and their willingness to provide a partial refund for this. However, the actual tour of Cordoba differed just enough from what I had booked. There unfortuantley was one family who was bad at keeping track of time and constantly held us up which is always frustrating. The tour noted that it would provide headsets to hear the guides, but none were given. Our guide was kind, but very soft spoken and I felt that I missed a lot of information because if you were not standing directly next to her, you could not hear her. I enjoyed our local guide for the Mosque and thought that his passion and excitement for the history of Cordoba was evident throughout all of the time we spent with him. Finally, since lunch was not included, I do wish that we were not all required to eat at a resturant picked out by the guide- which was unnecessarily out of the way of our next stop. The free time that we had in Cordoba was very limited, and as a solo traveler it would have been prefered to pick out a lunch space at one of the many open places naearby and also spend the time exploring the area. For a limited time in Spain, it was fine, but I think you may be better off going on your own.

Our guide, Carlos León, was knowledgable, informative, helpful and attentive to the needs of the group. The tour was reasonably paced.

If you're in Seville, I highly recommend this trip. With that said go on your own if you have a car. Really disappointed that we didn't stop at Carmona as our first stop as everything was closed on our way home. The Mosque-Cathedral was very crowded. Due to crowds our tour guide said visit the Jewish quarter on your own, directed us to one of his "favorite restaurants" told us to we had a quite a bit of free time, but little direction of where to go, just gave us a map. Our guide walked very fast, did not carry an umbrella, or hat, so often did not have time to take pictures along the way for fear of being left. Plus our guide smoked all day.. surprised that is allowed as we have never experienced that previously.
