Perfect way to experience the Patio Festival - We really liked the different types of patio exhibits which ranged from multi~family, single family homes to a school and a convent.

Beautiful patio gardens, great insight from our guide - Our guide, Elena, knows Córdoba inside out and took us to the loveliest patio gardens, nipping in and out to miss the queues. She was very knowledgeable about local history, food and drink as well as nature and obviously loved the flowers herself. She took us to a great bar/restaurant and we enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you!

Great tour of beautiful patios! - 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.

Fun experience diminished by everything said twice on two languages - 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.

Recommend - 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.
