Medina Azahara the Great Unknown of the Umayyad Dynasty - The tour in Medina Azahara has been very entertaining and interesting. The only downside has been the Waiting time to catch the shuttle bus, but this is the fault of the organization responsible for the Medina Azahara resort and not let you visit the throne room with guided tour. Carmen the guide, has been very professional and a great connoisseur of the site, highly recommended.

Carmen!! Essential to see the Site!! - Carmen was our guide. Better impossible. It explains everything with an ease that my daughters were delighted the whole guide. The little girl made it very special. Knowing everything he talks about, with the illusion that he does. It is essential to see such a beautiful and important site with someone as wonderful as Carmen. Thank you.

Poor organization and experience despite good quality guide - Our experience with EVENTOUR’s guided night tour was very disappointing due to its poor organisation. Upon arrival at the meeting point, there was no sign indicating where we should wait, nor a specific location assigned. To our surprise, we didn’t even appear on the list that carried the guide, which created confusion from the beginning. We felt that the group was too large for an overnight visit, with at least 30 people, which made it difficult to listen to the Explanations and Mood expected on this type of tour. Considering the high number of participants and little personalized attention, the price of the activity seemed disproportionate and not at all adjusted to the quality of the Service received.
