Really informative and interesting. We had some issues with the listening devices, so sometimes we couldn't hear, and there was a constant buzzing sound in the background. The Jewish quarter and Synogogue was a little rushed and didn't feel as in depth

Appointments and apps through Oway tours were fine. Guide was comprehensive and very knowledgeable. The quality of the earphones could be a little better. Very many side noises.

Visit a bit long (4h), not easy to follow and stay focused for so long; the guide was professional and very nice but with a flow and an accent that sometimes hindered our understanding; too much information in 4h. I don't recommend the 3 activities (alcazar, Jewish quarter and mosque); in my opinion, only the last 2 are of interest, so a 2h30 visit is preferable.

A rocky start, with no reservation in sight. Fortunately, Claudia quickly solved the problem and calmed me down. During the visit, Claudia, the "family" guide, showed superior culture, attention to detail, professionalism and friendliness! Thank you "heart" Claudia ( and Estremoz is in the Alentejo.... )

Visitor tips 

  • Consider the Climate: Cordoba can get very hot, especially from June to August. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and light clothing, and try to stay in shaded areas when possible.

  • Plan for Additional Time: Many visitors suggest allocating more time than you initially think you'll need. There's so much to see and appreciate within the Mosque-Cathedral, and rushing through it won't do it justice.
  • Engage with Locals: Even though your tour guide will tell you fascinating stories about the history of the mosque and answer all the questions you may have, don’t miss the chance to  to interact with locals and staff members at the Mosque-Cathedral. They may offer valuable insights, recommendations, or anecdotes!
