Was a little disappointed with the tour in that it did not last as long as the itinerary had stated. The driver took a little longer to arrive in Cordoba (3 hours in total) than expected, but took the more historical route on the way there. We stopped off at an interesting little shop on the way which sold various products made from the local olive groves. Although we enjoyed the tours of the main sites, the guide was very friendly & enthusiastic. I would have appreciated being able to see other parts of the very pretty city of Cordoba with the time we had to spare. We arrived back at our hotel at around 6pm. I also felt the overall price for the tour was a little excessive.
