100% recommended! - We really liked the visit to the Medina Azahara, especially by the Helena guide, for its explanations and attention, rating that it controls and also likes, so it is nice.

Magnificent experience, to repeat - Great view, our guide to "Amedina Córdoba" was Helena, very professional and knowledgeable about the site. Highly recommended, everything very well organized and even Helena sent us a wasap the same day to remind us of the place to catch the bus. The complex is interesting and with the projection of the initial video, it clarifies you a little how it was and what you will find. I would certainly repeat the visit with Helena and Amedina Cordoba, that although it was the two of us alone in the visit, it was also made, which shows the seriousness of this Enterprise.

Visit 100% recommended with Amedina - Nacho has been an excellent day, of which you will find very special occasions. We were very lucky to be a group of 6 people and to be able to make the route alone. Nacho’s explanations were a real source of data and knowledge and the visit was an experience, perfectly coordinated and interesting.

Interest rate - We booked this guided tour of Medina Azahara and our guide Antonio was the best. I explain everything in detail with humor, sympathy, professionalism and made them super nice and short. We learned a lot and, if we return to Córdoba, we will repeat without hesitation for another visit. I have to say that being just my partner and I on the tour made it much easier for us to listen to the visit than if we had been a large group.
