Additional Information

Set off from Seville and embark on a day trip to one of Andalusia’s most stunning cities!

Cordoba has an abundance to offer any traveler. Nestled on the Guadalquivir River and at the base of Sierra Morena, Cordoba once served as the capital of the Roman Empire’s Bética province and the Caliphate of Cordoba during the Islamic period. The city’s past has gifted it architectural marvels including the Mosque-Cathedral, the Roman Bridge, and the ancient Jewish Quarter, among others.

Take a stroll through this city steeped in Andalusian culture and savor the local gastronomy.

Post-lunch, our itinerary includes a visit to the gorgeous Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Originally crafted for Islamic worship, this magnificent monument embodies the rich historical and architectural legacy of Andalusia.

After a day brimful of remarkable sightseeing, we will return to Seville, leaving with memories of unparalleled beauty.

  • Please, re-confirm pick up details with the local service provider upon arrival at your destination. Very important.

Recommended and excellent tour - The tour was excellent. Our guide Miguel Cuenco showed us very beautiful places in Córdoba. The mosque is unforgettable and the explanation by the local guide is very interesting. Highly recommended tour.

Long day but worthwhile! - Alberto was an amazing tour guide, made sure that everyone in our tour was able to follow along and communicated information very clearly. It's a long day - we were picked up around 8:30 and returned around 7:30pm. It's a very cute city and worth the day and energy. One tip is to skip out on the restaurant they recommend for lunch and do your own research. Service is bad (waiters are very impatient and rude) and food is mediocre at best.

Exceptional Tour in Córdoba! - We recently had the pleasure of touring Córdoba with Alberto as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Alberto's passion for the city's history, combined with his engaging storytelling and genuine warmth, made the tour truly exceptional. If you're visiting Córdoba, I highly recommend this tour !

Naturanda Tour to Cordoba. - I think the trip to Cordoba was well worth doing. Cordoba is an enchanting little town with some tiny narrow streets and beautiful architecture. Alberto, our lovely guide for the day, took us first to walk over the amazing Roman bridge that is the entrance to the town and then took us to look at some of the most incredibly and ornately flowered courtyards that some households had created for the town flower festival. Alberto is an engaging guide and very informative about all the sights. The highlight though was definitely the Mosque-Cathedral. I am used to visiting the churches and cathedrals of Europe but I had never seen anything like that before. Totally blew me away.

Beautiful experience! - Very good experience. We fell in love with Cordoba. The Mosque-Cathedral is awesome, so much history! We are there at the same time as La Fiesta de los Patios. Beautiful event to see and enjoy. Many thanks to Adrian our guide in Spanish and to Jose the local guide in the Mosque-Cathedral. Adrian was very kind and friendly. Thank you so much.

It was a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. - The guide, Maria was really great as were the driver and the young lady who took us through the mosque. So much history and so fascinating. Bus was very comfortable and felt like we got more than our money’s worth.

Pleasant but painful - The mosque-cathedral is beautiful! Rich in history. The downside of this tour - too many irresponsible people who delayed the whole group from morning till evening!

Interesting day trip from Seville - The good part: tour was as described, visiting Cordoba, having lunch, seeing the mosque. Our guide had a recommended lunch restaurant that was very good and there was a local guide at the mosque who was very familiar with the history of the various sections. The not-so-good part: the group included people of 3 languages thus each description was provided multiple times, in spanish, french, and english. This was time-consuming and either elongated the tour or we received less information if the guides shortened to maintain the time. Difficult to tell. Bus was warm during the return (it was hot outside and the air conditioner did not seem to work well)

Do not take this tour with Naturanda thru Viator - Cordova The full day tour to Cordoba, offered on Viator, and operated by Naturanda, was by all measures the worst tour that I experienced during my 3 week stay in Andalucia. Our tour guide was Laura. The tour I purchased said that it was in ENGLISH. The guide immediately informed us that the tour was in English and Spanish. Thus, we wasted half of our guided touring time listening to a language that I could not understand. Yes, I’m in Spain, and yes it is my shortcomings that I do not understand the local language. Nevertheless, I purchase the English tour for a lot of money and only English is what they should have delivered. Laura spoke a very heavily accented English and was very difficult to understand. Truthfully, most people on the tour could only understand a portion of what she was trying hard to convey. When we finally arrived in Cordova, she immediately put us in a long line of tourists and said this is how we see the beautiful courtyard gardens. She said 20 minute wait. The wait in the hot sun was 50 minutes. The single 100 square meter garden was very underwhelming. Unbelievable waste of time. Upon departure from the gardens, we had to wait several minutes for other confused members of our group. The guide communicated poorly to the multi lingual group about the importance of staying together in this extremely crowded town. She then walked us around Cordoba to see a few other very minor historical sites but it seemed she was just killing time with low grade sites while she waited for our lunch break. Lunch was fine but reconvening after lunch was a disaster as we waited a long time for some confused fellow travelers to rejoin at the meeting point. At the Mezquita, we were divided by language preference into different groups. The English speakers were given over to a local guide to tour the Mezquita. It was a decent all English tour. Afterwards, we waited in the hot sun for a single Chinese lady to finish her Chinese language tour. When the tour operator includes multiple languages in a single tour bus, it is inevitable that tour participants spend a great deal of time waiting on their fellow travelers. We then headed back to the bus which was supposed to include a pre-boarding bathroom break. Laura, the guide, sent us in one direction to find the restrooms. There were no restrooms. She then sent us in the opposite direction to find restrooms, but the doors were all locked. Such a poorly planned tour I have never before experienced. We were supposed to have lunch at 1:00PM, but that was delayed until 2:30PM. We were supposed to be back in Seville by 7:00PM, but we arrived back at 8:15PM. We missed our dinner reservations, and that was the unfortunate cap upon a disastrous day. I would not, under any circumstances, recommend this tour.
