Essential with Guide - And finally our last day was the visit to Medina Azahara, that does not make sense for free xq you miss the whole history, you see a very small part of the city caliph, most have to put it in value to give us an idea and that did it masterfully our Azahara Guide during the two and a half long hours of the visit 🙂

A whole lot of history in 3 hours - Alejandro and his historical stories made the tour so much more interesting!! It’s such a worthwhile trip. One tip though - it says snack and drink provided but we didn’t try anything so do not expect same

Alejandro is a great guide - Alejandro was a brilliant guide. He was really knowledgeable and the whole tour was so interesting. Doing the Medina without a guide would have been nowhere near as good. He looked after us so well. Thoroughly recommend this excursion

Great experience - I loved it, Guide David was excellent, gave us a great explanation, we had time for the pictures, transported us on a time trip, and took us on a route so we wouldn't get tired on the way back. He was detailed when explaining the story, the Almudena Guide also enriched with additional information, it was a great experience. I recommend it.

Essential guided tour of the brilliant city - If you go to Medina Azahara it is essential to hire a guided tour, without it you don’t know much, they are all ruins. Our Guide David, with whom we already made an entertaining night tour of Cordoba, explained the museum and already in the site told us the history of the brilliant city in full detail. Out of 10.

Visit to Medina Azhara - A very complete visit thanks to Laura Lopez. Very well explained and very nice throughout the circuit. Recommended 100%. I think they had to charge something else so they can keep digging out more history.
