Good feel for the history of the city - Paki was a great guide. We visited the Jewish quarter, including statue of Maimonides and the synagogue, and she also gave us the highlights inside the Mezquita. The group size was not too large and headphones made it easy to hear.Would recommend.

Good tour - Angel was very knowledgeable and funny. The mosque-cathedral was remarkable. Angel (and her father) have an intimate relationship with the building.

A great way to see Cordoba's historic core - This was an excellent way to visit the old historic center if Cordoba, the Jewish quarter and the enormous Mosque-Cathedral. Angel, our guide, was highly professional, and steered us through narrow streets, past crowds of other groups and into places we would never have self discovered. He had great grasp of historical details and could present them in an entertaining manner. What we would have missed, had it not been for Angel's fine tour guiding skills! And I don't say this lightly, as I am myself a tour guide in another city. He spoke English well and had a love of Cordoba thst was palpable. Thanks for a great experience.

Very interesting and unique - This is a must do when you visit Cordoba. Our guide was very knowledgeable with a passion for Cordoba. We first toured the Jewish Quarter of Cordoba. Jews lived in Cordoba bw the 10-15 centuries. (Until they were expelled from Spain in 1492 - big mistake). The Jewish quarter is a maze of narrow streets. You will visit an ancient Synagogue (small, yet interesting), the market area and a bronze statue of Maimonides (the great Jewish philosopher and doctor from Cordoba). Without a knowledgeable guide, it would be difficult to get a good sense of this interesting part of Cordoba. The Mosque- Cathedral of Cordoba (or Mezquita or the Great mosque of Cordoba) is a an UNESCO heritage site. It is one of Spain’s major historical monuments. It is unlike any religious building in the world. The building was initially a church. When the Moors conquered Spain, they converted the building to a Mosque. It was expanded several times over the years. When the Christians conquered Spain, the Mosque was converted to a Cathedral (while maintaining the feeling of a Mosque). It is a huge structure capable of holding thousands of people. Our guide provided a detailed history of the building and made it even more interesting. 9.5/10

Worst trip / tour ever - We went on the Wednesday 5th of October 2022 trip from Seville to Cordoba. This was one of the one of the worst trips in my life even though the city is beautiful. It started with the bus driver being rude, he shouted and yelled at us in Spanish because we were just 7 minutes late. In addition, one of the passengers started to shout for the same reason. It is worth mentioning that other passengers at different stop were late but the bus driver did not shout at them or even tell them anything. No safety considerations were taken, and no one ensured that the passengers wore masks which at this time is considered mandatory safety precaution against corona virus . In addition, the company did not ensure that all the passengers fastened their seat belts. Also, the bus trip from Seville to Cordoba was not properly managed. Usually in long trips, several stops should be planned so passengers could rest / use the bathroom or get refreshments / coffee. However, we were not provided with this option. The bus driver did not know any English so we were not able to communicate with him. We had to use google translate to inform him that we urgently needed to use the bathroom. Usually tourist companies should ensure that the bus driver can communicate in English or at least a translator / tour guide is present to help the tourists if anything is needed and in case there is an emergency. When we arrived to Cordoba, the tour was provided by a tour guide named Angel. In my opinion, the tour guide did not provide enough information about the attractions that we visited. He only focused on one aspect of the history of Cordoba while ignoring other important aspects of the city's history. In my opinion, a comprehensive overview of the city's history should be provided. In addition, on several occasions, he stated incorrect historical statements. This is the worst company and tours I have ever had /experienced. I will never ever recommend this company / tour to any of my friends and colleagues. I believe that the tour was not worth the money I paid. The value and experience I got was so little in comparison with the money I paid. The next day we went on a tour with another company and it was an excellent trip with extremely helpful guide, with much better customer service, way more organized trip and still cheaper price.
