Medina Azahara - Enjoyed a tour of the Medina Azahara today. Our guide was Almudena and she made the visit very interesting and explained everything thoroughly. It is a fascinating place and she brought it to life. Well worth a visit.

A great hit - The guide Mari Carmen was exceptional, passionate and with a great ability to confess information. In my opinion, I think it is a site worth visiting with a guide to understand its relevance.

Medina Azahara, don't miss it. - David, our guide of Artencórdoba, very nice and very didactic. And being in Córdoba is one of the visits you can not miss, if you want to know some of its history of the Muslim city that was, back in the 930s to 1000 and few, I do not reach the century, it is very preserved, in the original parts that still remain and its restoration very meticulous and respectful as far as possible, with the originals.

Mandatory visit - The visit is very worthwhile, and if it is with a much better guide as it helps you to value and enjoy much more of the archaeological sites of Medina Azahara. The guide did a great job in addition to resolving the doubts to all those who asked questions related to Medina Azahara.

Great experience in Medina Azahara - Miguel Ángel has been a super attentive guide and has made us fall even more in love with this great city that is Córdoba, even considering how self-centered we Madridians are.

A walk through history - I enjoyed two visits with this company, to the wonderful mosque, with Fatima, and to Medina Azahara with Maria G. Both were able to convey the story with enthusiasm and professionalism. I recommend the company, thank you!

Everything, at least. - That day we suffered a long wait for the shuttle bus. The expectations created by marketing with the archaeological remains too high.

VISIT MEDINA AZAHARA - They should let you choose whether to go through the museum or not, as you waste a lot of time in the museum and then in Medina Azahara it is less than 1 hour. In addition, the museum was missing pieces that had been taken to New York. Upstairs, there'd have to be a coffee shop or somewhere to have a drink. It takes a long time for the bus to arrive, and when it arrives, it is crowded.
