Must see! - This was a favorite tour! We took a train from Seville to Cordoba, very easy and fast. The day was very warm but the sights were unbelievable, totally worth it! Jose did an amazing job disseminating all of the information, super impressive! This is a must see, you have to make time for it.

Beautiful history, excellent guide! - The guide (I am sorry that I dont remember his name...) is extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us which made the experience even more valuable. It is wonderful to see the relics of an interesting history with your own eyes, but it becomes even better when you are given info and details about each place visited.

Ask for Azahara! - When the tour i formation says “professional guide”, they are speaking about Azahara! She is a walking history book, who has a nice pace, and is such a welcoming person. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed her tour.

Highly recommended Cordoba tour - The tour was marvellous. The tour company “Oway” are very organised, helpful and punctual. I can say honestly say that this is all what you want to do and see in Cordoba in 3 hours visiting all the touristic areas in a very comfortable pace and the price is very reasonable. The tour guide “Askara” was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, organised and funny. She gave us a brief introduction about each place before we enter it then detailed explanations of each area during the visit. She was very professional and pleasant and answered all the questions from the group. She was also very thoughtful and made sure that we stayed in shaded areas during her explanations because it was very hot and sunny. The city itself is very cosy and clean. The touristic area is well maintained and organised. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to anyone going to Cordoba.

Very detailed tour … we loved the gardens, Mosque and Cathedral…breathtaking. - A lot of history is shared. The gardens were AMAZING. So is the Mosque and Cathedral. Very detailed tour … we had one guide for the first half and a second guide for the last. Used audio guides which worked well.

Great Tour - The tour was great, and our guide shared a lot of information with us. The only thing I would change is the audio devices could have been better - sometimes it was hard to hear.

Way too long - I struggled rating this experience, not because the sites are not incredible, nor because we had a bad guide, but because it was way longer than needed to be. Our guide was fantastic but gave us too much information, I don’t remember half of what she said. It felt like I was in history class. Also the breaks between sites to go get more people was annoying. Make it shorter and have more groups instead.
