We had a fantastic time on the Best of Córdoba Guided Tour. Our guide was truly excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and able to share the city’s history in a way that felt both accessible and memorable. The pacing of the tour was spot-on: enough depth to really appreciate each stop without ever feeling rushed. We walked away with a much better understanding of Córdoba’s cultural layers and architectural beauty. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable experience.

We had a brilliant walking tour in Córdoba. We visited the Mosque–Cathedral and then wandered through the beautiful Jewish Quarter. Our guide, James (or Jaimie), was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, kind, and so easy to be around. He explained every detail with passion and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this tour and this lovely guide!

The tour starts at Mesquita followed by a brief break at a cafe. Followed by walk to the Jewish Quarter, the Caliph Baths & ends at the Garden of the Alcazar. Jaime our guide was incredible- the tour was perfectly paced, the pauses timely, the history & research impeccable & the witticisms quite apt. Jaime was also quite helpful with the food & cultural recommendations . Only issue if any was contacting the operator before the tour to confirm which was resolved by Viator support timely. Overall an incredible way to experience Cordoba especially as a primer/ if you're short on time like us. I was on my way from Madrid to Granada with a stopover at Cordoba for the day which turned out beautifully.

This was a good tour. The highlight would be the mosque cathedral. It is stunning and Jamie our guide had much knowledge about it to share with the group. We then explored the Jewish quarter, ruins of the original Arab baths and the gardens of the Alcazar. It was a great tour but I do have some constructive feedback to offer. We were told not to use the bathrooms during our free time at the cathedral as we would be going somewhere next go get coffee and use the toilets. The only issue was that there was only one toilet for all 15+ of us, as well as other your groups ending or having a break at the same spot. The hammam was interesting. A good addition noting we finished 30mins early would be to go see some of the famous patios.
A 4-hour discovery tour, amazing.

This was a full 4 hour tour that included the Cathedral, the Gardens, the Jewish quarter and the Roman baths. Our job did an amazing job informing us of the complex history and how the mosque / cathedral expanded over time. Excellent tour and highly recommended.
