Excellent Tour Guide - Micaela, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience fun and interesting for a large family group ranging from 21 years old to 83 years old. The Mezquita and the history of Cordoba are fascinating and worth learning and exploring.

OWAY is excellent for Cordoba's Jewish Quarter and Mosque-Cathderal tour - We have 2 strong accolades for OWAY tour. First, I accidentally booked on the wrong date. When I didn't show, the company contacted me (2 months before being in Spain) and worked with me to rebook. They did not charge me, the simply rebooked and sent me the new reservation. I was profoundly grateful. As for the tour, Joaquin was excellent! He was informative and engaging. We did the Jewish Quarter and the Mosque-Cathedral. We're jewish and we found him to be very knowledgable about jewish customs so we felt reallyl confident in the history he shared. Also, the Mosque-Cathedral was absolutely astonishing and he made the time in their very interesting. We went to Cordoba as a day trip from Seville for this tour. It was absolutely worthwhile and OWAY was a great tour company.

Azahara, our tour guide brought the rich history to life - Our tour guide Azahara was simply amazing, very knowledgeable and gave the tour with great skills. There was so much good information given to us to understand the rich history of Cordoba - we have learnt so much from the trip and were kept interested till the very end. Azahara was also very kind to provide personal recommendations for food and places to visit. The tour was very well organized with good timing.

Enjoyable and informative - Our guide did a great job explaining the history of the Mosque as well as the Jewish Quarter. Viator always does a great job with the major attractions and always provides knowledgeable guides. The only wish, was to remain inside a bit longer to really sit and linger BUT that is not any fault of Viator as it is the entry rules that the group enter and leave in total. Thanks again for another great experience

Never Saw a Mosque like this - The Cordoba Mosque must not be missed! The history of the Mosque is amazing with the multiple builds, and its artistry is stunning. The Jewish quarter tour was pedestrian. Better to tour a few interior courtyards that compete in the Spring.

Worst tour company we have every used! - The Mosque was beautiful. I wish we could have learned about it from our guide. It might not be all his fault. The audio equipment supplied was very poor. Lots of static all the time and if you got more than 10 metres away from the guide it just quit working. The guide spoke english well, but had a heavy accent and spoke in a monotone voice. This combined with the poor audio equipment made it impossible to understand what he was saying. After enduring 30 minutes of this, I took my earphones off. We started off in a group of about 30 people to tour the Jewish Quarter. It was very crowded on a Saturday and we ended up stuck in a small alleyway for 20 minutes, just to see a small synagogue. It wasn't worth the wait! Then when we were about to enter the Mosque our guide abandoned us to "go back to the office and pick-up more people". Another 30 plus people joined our tour! Now about 60 people were in our tour. Once inside, it was very crowded with many other group tours and visitors and it was absolutely impossible to hear our guide or even keep up to him. After 5 minutes my wife and friends handed in our audio equipment and toured the Mosque ourselves. I learned more reading the signs than I did from our guide. I absolutely can not recommend this tour or the tour company!!!
