Great Mezquita tour! - If you're visiting the stunning Mezquita in Córdoba and have Jaime as your guide, you're in for a treat! Jaime’s extensive knowledge and passion for the history of the Mezquita made our tour both educational and incredibly enjoyable. He expertly navigated us through the architectural marvels, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought the historical and cultural significance of the site to life. His enthusiasm and professionalism greatly enhanced our experience, making it not just a tour, but a journey through time. Highly recommend Jaime for anyone looking to discover the depths of the Mezquita!

A wonderful morning in Cordoba - Jose Maria (Chama?) gave an absolutely brilliant tour. His knowledge was comprehensive and encyclopaedic and he delivered it in a fun and interesting way. The Mosque Cathedral is of course the undoubted star of the show, a must-see.

Unequivocally the BEST Experience! - This was my third time visiting the Mezquita with a tour guide. Our tour guide was Jesus Maria and he was outstanding! He not only was a local, he was a historian. His tour was interesting and informative. He was able to present the information in an engaging manner. It was the best tour of the massive site that I have taken and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you Jesus Maria!

Beautiful cathedral, other guide was better. - Our Guide was dismissive of clients. A bit unpleasant. Although he was very knowledgeable. The other English speaking guide seemed much nicer.

Disappointing tour of a beautiful cathedral - Our guide, I think Jose is his name, was abrupt from the beginning. He was impossible to understand. We tried to stay with the guide for 30 minutes but could never understand a thing he said. Several of us wanted to leave the tour but he refused to take our headsets and he was rude even when we all explained why we were leaving the tour. He had a very strong accent, spoke quickly in a monotone voice. He said we had to meet him at the exit 15 minutes before the end of the tour. We all were there but he was not until 15 minutes later. Other people at the end said that they never could understand him. This is a very poor reflection on Viator.

Beware, not a real tour - Our tour never happened. We had a tour in cordoba on epiphany. Since this is a national holiday in Spain, we asked ahead of time (weeks ahead) if our tour would still happen. Our contact politely informed us that the tour would be fine and on time, and if this were to change they would inform us. On the day we arrived five minutes early and began looking for the tour guide and told them that we were there. Several minutes after the time of the tour, and after texting the contact number multiple times, we called and the person on the line rudely told us that we were late, and also that it was a national holiday so there was no tour. Since we were not late, and also we had asked for notice well in advance for this kind of thing we feel, very justifiably, annoyed and weren’t able to visit the beautiful church/mosque since our tickets were tied to the tour.
