Excellent guided tour - The mosque cathedral of Cordoba is 100% worth seeing. It's easily one of the most interesting and stunning historical buildings that we have visited in Spain. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and engaging about both its architecture and history. She answered questions in a thoughtful and kind manner. Having a great tour guide brought to life what we are seeing. I can very highly recommend this tour and our guide.

Great tour of the Mezquita - An historic and architectural marvel. Not to be missed. Guide Angel was knowledgeable and personable and spoke perfect English. While the Mezquita can be visited on your own, you will gain immeasurably by going with a guide.
