Amazing lovely,clean city .Historical by all means. Nice food,kind people . Highly recommend for future visits for all age groups
Guide was lovely and knew her history and culture of the area. Logistics were not clearly planned or communicated. Wrong train times were sent to us, meaning we were 90 minutes early. Then took some time for guide to fund us at station. Plus there was no stop for a bite to eat or time on own.
Our tour guide, Patricia, was good and knowledgeable, but the logistic was completely different than our expectations, based on the description on the website. Literally this tour we could have done it without paying so much money. They sent the tickets the night before and we took the train to Cordoba on our own and when we arrived there was no sign of the guide. We had to contact the company tour and after walking the entire station, finally we found our guide. She was with us for 3 hours and showed us La Juderia and the Mezquita Cathedral. This part we really enjoyed it. We are so glad we spoke the language.
I was informed 3 days before the trip that I won’t be able to do it bcz I was the only one who confirmed for that date so they gave me the option to join Seville day trip instead which was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it seems that the company wasn’t 100% prepared and they didn’t arrange our transportation in Seville which resulted in wasting around 1 hr from tour time.
Walking tour of Cordoba and cathedral and surroundings was good. Unfortunately it was raining all day however our guide did a good job trying to adapt to the weather.
Eduardo was absolutely fantastic! He was so informative and patient with our group. He was well informed and knew so many interesting facts to share.
I really liked the experience. The best way to get to know Córdoba in 1 day. I must say that the Mosque is impressive. My guide was Marta, recommended.
Highly recommend this Madrid to Córdoba day trip! Our guide's insights added so much to the experience, especially at the Mezquita-Catedral. We loved Córdoba, and this is undoubtedly the best way to discover the city in a day from Madrid.
Exceptional journey to Córdoba! The high-speed train was a really fast and comfortable way of traveling. The Mezquita-Catedral's architecture left us in awe, and the charm of the Jewish Quarter was enchanting. A day filled with comfort, history, and cultural immersion.
