The most pleasant Medina Azahara - The visit to the Medina, with Patri as a guide, was really very interesting and at the same time very educational and entertaining. At no time does it become monotonous and you learn a lot. A highly recommended experience.

Essential - We did the guided tour with Patri and he is one of the best guides we have come across (and we have traveled a lot), what is an archaeological site takes on the necessary life that is expected from a guided tour to these places. Leave enough time and freedom so that within the group everyone has time for their own things, but at the same time never loses sight of anyone in the group. We will definitely repeat in a few years. The excavation does not stop improving over time!!

Good for Patricia - The visit with Patricia was very educational, enjoyable and entertaining. He knew all the tricks so that the group would position itself well and make better use of time. It is a visit that is well worth doing with a guide to understand everything much better.

A great morning - Rafa is a friendly, intelligent and professional guide. The route took three hours and it ended up going by quickly because it was a very pleasant experience. I can only say that I regret not having been able to visit the Cathedral Mosque with him. It has been a most satisfying morning.

Bad organization - Very bad organization. The bus came to pick us up at 10am and we didn't visit the ruins until 12pm and they didn't let us watch an explanatory video. Disappointing.
