I have visited Cordoba many times before, but as we were visited with friends, I thought that it would be helpful for them, to have an official guide. It was a great decision. Please thank our guide( apologies I did not catch his name), he was friendly and very informative, and made our trip something to remember.

Absolutely exceptional tour from start to finish! Our guide, Saray, was incredibly knowledgeable and led a fascinating, friendly and engaging hour and a half - the time absolutely flew as we moved through the magnificent building. And as an added bonus, she’s an actual archeologist! You honestly can’t ask for a better way of experiencing this place - we wouldn’t have scratched the surface if it wasn’t for Saray and her depth of knowledge and insights. A remarkable tour and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering coming to Cordoba to book it in a second!
