Knowledgeable and interesting guide to Cordoba Mosque/Cathedral - Isabella was our guide for the Cordoba Mosque/Cathedral. She had a depth of information about its history, art, and architecture, and an ability to present it in an interesting fashion. We would recommend her highly as a guide.

Absolutely Stunning! - Absolutely stunning!! The Cordoba mosque is a wonderful example of exceptional architecture and beauty. You can not go to Andalusia and not visit Cordoba mosque. Our tour guide was great, we were in a small group of five or six. The tour was in english and it’s worth it to book a guide. Our guide explained the background and history of the beautiful building and the different historical changes that took place over the centuries. A must see!
