1.00On June 2, 2026, I purchased two tickets for €60. On the 4th, I requested the cancellation. According to the published terms, I expected a partial refund. After several attempts to contact, I have not received a response.
Bizarre but wonderfully harmonious combination of architecture and religion

5.00An incredible experience, how the brutal Christian overpowerer has respectfully inserted himself into Moorish architecture and thus produced a harmonious if bizarre combination. The meeting place is partly because of the huge crowds, harder to find than thought.

5.00Visiting the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba was truly impressive and the highlight of my trip. The history behind the site is fascinating, and the architecture is overwhelming in its beauty and scale. The mix of styles makes it clear why it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our guide also helped bring its significance to life with clear and interesting explanations.
Wonderful Experience of Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral

5.00We loved visiting the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba with a guided tour in English. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered the many questions asked. He informed us the Mosque-Cathedral was open every morning from 8.30am for an hour if we wanted to go in again and view the building at a slower pace. He also informed us that a mass is held every day in the cathedral should people wish to attend. Thank you to our guide.

No communication vi what’s app prior to meeting, ghosted!

1.00Do not use this service. Communication was extremely poor. The provider instructed me to go to a specific meeting point and said they would meet me there. However, when I arrived, no one showed up. I sent a text message and received no response. After waiting, I sent another message letting them know I was still there, but they never replied and completely left me hanging. As a result, I missed the activity and had to purchase new tickets and pay again out of pocket. I am now having to dispute the charge with my credit card company to obtain a refund. This experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and a complete waste of time and money.
