We toured the Alcazar, a little bit of the surrounding neighborhood and the fantastic Mezquita. Good, thoughtful commentary. Good value.

We started with a small English speaking group at the Alcazar which afforded us lots of opportunities to interact with our guide, Christina. However, at the Mosque-Cathedral our numbers swelled to over 25. Even with the larger crowd, Christina managed to keep everything in order, and we obtained a wealth of knowledge about not only the building but also about the history of Spain.

This tour was wonderful, not to be missed. The guide was Raphael and he was very passionate about the history, it was fantastic. Highly recommend it. If you have been to a Hammam, I would not add the Arabian baths if you want an authentic experience. Even though I enjoyed the baths it was nothing like an Hammam.

On arrival at meeting point we were split into different language groups which I was very impressed with. Our guide Paqui was absolutely FANTASTIC. She was immensely knowledgeable and very funny, which made our 4-hour tour even more enjoyable. I felt she spent the right amount of time at each point of interest. We had a quick coffee and a couple of toilet breaks too. Every part of the tour was a highlight for us but having the Mezquita at the end was fantastic. This is my second Viator tour and I do intend to use them again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Outstanding tour and tour guide! Paci was our guide. She had the knowledge and was able to share it so we all learned and enjoyed the tour. She was able to answer any questions and inject humor at appropriate times. Thank you Viator! Another great tour!

Excellent!_br/_ Paqui is a great guide. She knows History well, but must important, she knows how to tell stories and keep you interested all the time.

I don't remember the guides name but he wasn't into much on the history of cordoba. The tour ended on a rooftop and wasn't that great! Just so you know it's only one rooftop. The rest are just street level

Traveling from the US, there were a few selling points-_br/_ The timing...10:30am worked out perfectly_br/_ Next, the location...the Christian Alcazar...wow_br/_ Seamless meet up with gp and guide at the entrance of the Alcazar _br/_ Great instruction/guide in English. Very patient and funny._br/_ As if the Alcazar wasn't enough, we then toured the Jewish quarters next after a short water and ice-cream break_br/_ Then to top it all, we toured the Mesquita-with seamless entry tickets and radio mics _br/_ Amazing!

Took this tour during a long layover in Madrid. Saw many sites and was able to get off the bus and stretch my legs as well.

The best

Great tour -- highly recommend this to get acquainted with Cordoba. Knowledgeable guide, good earphone system, nice tour length that ends in the Mezquita/Catedral so that you can explore there on your own.
Review by: Norma I C, June 2017
The tour got off to a poor start because we spent too much time at the Alcazar waiting for other people to come in from another city on a bus. In my opinion because of this we were cheated in the time spent at the Mosque which in my opinion was the highlight of the tour. Interesting and guide was excellent just poorly organized.

This was an excellent tour provided by a very knowledgeable person who clearly loved her topic which she brought over with enjoyment and professionalism. I would recommend to anyone any day.
Review by: Julian E, May 2017
Started with Alcazar then Jewish Quarter then Mesquite. Time management was poor. 1.5 hours at Alcazar. This can be done at a leisurely pace in half hour. Many intermittent breaks while more and more people added to tour until there were about 30 people at Mesquite. Very superficial and minimal info.

The Great Mosque and Cathedral of Córdoba is, without doubt, a beautiful and awe inspiring place that is well worth the visit. However, the three and a half hours we spent getting there was far too long. The group of nearly 30 was large enough to require audio devices not available until the Mosque another group with the same company was about 40 people - too large. The tour guide, while knowledgeable, was young and not forceful enough to properly control the group._br/_ While I thoroughly recommend a visit to the Mosque, I cannot recommend this tour.

Our tour of Cordoba would have been better if our group of two hadn't been combined with a large group of daytrippers who arrived by bus at the last moment from Seville. First we had to wait for them to use the restrooms inside the Alcazar grounds, which took quite a while at the beginning of our tour. Our guide for the Alcazar was good, although he had a fairly large group to shepherd without earphone technology. He dropped us off at the Mezquita, where several other groups were combined with ours over what seemed like a long and confusing period of time, for the last part of our day. It took quite a while for the various groups to get their earphones, which worked well with such a large group. The guide for the Mezquita was excellent and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the people who had come from Seville were pressed for time at the end and the guide cut short the tour of the cathedral so that they wouldn't be late for their bus or something. I realize that we were in Cordoba during Holy Week and the tours and sites were packed, so I'd have to say they were probably doing the best they could under the circumstances.
