Linda – Spain

The tour was very relaxed. We had plenty of time to see each patio. Sergio gave us a brief history of each patio and was also very knowledgeable about the flowers. We hardly had to queue at all to get into each patio. A great experience.

This is a great tour, with fascinating insights into the flowery world of Córdoban courtyards. The guide was friendly, approachable, interesting and informative and clearly had a passion for her subject. The courtyards were beautiful - I'm not overly interested in flowers, but this might make me change my mind! I heartily recommend this tour!

Full description

Discover the Cordovan Courtyards, known as patios in Spanish, a main attraction in Cordoba. Learn about the origin of the patios on this 2-hour tour around the Alcazar Viejo neighborhood, and visit the interior of well-preserved houses.
Experience the local way of life in this area of the old city. Enter 5 private patios where the owners will tell you about the decorative detail and how they take care of the flowers. Find out more about the Courtyard Festival held in May of each year.
The patios were declared a World Heritage tradition by UNESCO in 2012. Although they are beautiful throughout the year, the best time to visit is March, April or May.
During the patios festival (1st fortnight of may) we will visit the Patios in the neighbourhoods of San Francisco and Santiago. These neighbourhoods are very popular in Cordoba and have some of the best patios of the festival.

The guided tour was very interesting, we visited 7 patios and learned quite a few new things. Is totally worth doing it and discover a different part of Cordoba.
