Our guide Juan Carlos was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned so much more than if we had gone on our own.There were only 4 on the tour, but he had to split the time between English and French. Also note that the site closes at 2 pm and reopens later in the day. The Mosque Cathedral is not to be missed in Cordoba. Thank you Juan Carlos for graciously sharing your knowledge.

Would not have understood the history of Mezquita without our informative guide. She explained everything so well and gave great insight into this magnificent mosque cathedral. We booked an English speaking tour..Our guide purchased our tickets and met us at the predetermined arrival point on time as per booking.

The site and tour were both incredible. Our guide was well informed, clear in her explanations and descriptions to make this complex history understandable and come to life, and she was professional, lively and engaging, and seemed to love sharing the information. We learned so much from her presentation. We’re still processing the information and this experience has spurred us to dig into the subject(s) more deeply.
