Recommended visit to Medina Azahara - Being in Córdoba, it is worth visiting Medina Azahara, especially with a guided tour. Pilu, our guide, made it very enjoyable and entertaining so that the time spent on the visit was short. We arrive by car to the parking lot where the reception is and from this point they take you up to the site on a shuttle bus and when the visit ends you get off on the same bus.

Apart from the beauty, Rafa, the guide, made us "live and enjoy" the experience - Frankly very good experience. Our guide Rafa, fantastic, super enjoyable and close, with explanations that everyone can understand, including those lay in archaeology, without rushing, making us see every detail. We live an "adventure" from another era. 100% recommendable, and if it is with Rafa, obviously better than better

Unforgettable visit led by Rafa - The visit was wonderful, we were very lucky to fall into the hands of Rafa. It was not just a guided tour, it was an entire history learning experience. In many moments it made you feel that you were experiencing in first person the events that occurred in that wonderful place, the feelings, the sensations,... I simply recommend a visit to Medina Azahara and if it is with Rafa there is no need to say anything else. We will surely return when the Salón Rico opens to the public, this time it couldn't be.

An exceptional guide creates unique moments - Without a doubt, this experience has become unique thanks to the best of the guides, Rafa, who has offered large doses of invaluable information, seasoned with refreshing moments of witty humor. Great emissary of the Andalusian spirit. An essential activity if you come to Córdoba. We will return

Highly recommended - Spectacular visit with Rafa. The very clear, orderly and enjoyable explanations, with a personal touch that made a 3-hour visit seem like 10 minutes. We will definitely return because as you have shown us, Córdoba is not only about the mosque.

Medina Azahara, but..... with guide - Three tips if you accept them from me 1- Visit Medina Azahara (Madinat al' Zahara, or something like that), it is impressive 2- Do the visit with a guide, it is worth it, put everything together and you will understand it and see what it was like 3- If it is possible with Rafael even better, he is a good guide, entertaining and very educational

Medina Azahara with Rafa. - Very enjoyable and instructive tour, with humor and repeated warnings about the terrain we were on, which did not prevent an accident. We had a great time learning archeology and history with Rafa, a machine.
