5.00Everything was fantastic: the attention, professionalism, knowledge, and passion that Antonio brought to the tour of Medinat Al Zahra was UNBEATABLE. He made our experience an unforgettable memory. Thank you, Antonio.

5.00From the booking to the execution of the visit, the follow-up was continuous. On the day of the visit, we were contacted by phone to meet at the meeting point. Once gathered, the guidance was total. The guide, I believe it was Antonio, gave us a complete tour with all kinds of explanations. We were very happy.
Interesting visit and fantastic explanations from our guide Antonio

5.00The visit is very interesting and completes the visit to i Catedral Mezquita. It allows us to better understand the history of the city, its importance and its origin But nothing would have been the same without the detailed, entertaining and wisdom-laden explanations from our guide Antonio. It's amazing what this person knows. As he explains to make it enjoyable and close to everyone. Despite all the data, names and dates, it never gets boring, complicated or lost. You can tell he likes what he does and wants to communicate it to everyone. He conveys his passion for history. Three hours we've been flying by. Thank you very much Antonio
100% recommended!

5.00We really liked the visit to the Medina Azahara, especially by the Helena guide, for its explanations and attention, rating that it controls and also likes, so it is nice.
Magnificent experience, to repeat

5.00Great view, our guide to "Amedina Córdoba" was Helena, very professional and knowledgeable about the site. Highly recommended, everything very well organized and even Helena sent us a wasap the same day to remind us of the place to catch the bus. The complex is interesting and with the projection of the initial video, it clarifies you a little how it was and what you will find. I would certainly repeat the visit with Helena and Amedina Cordoba, that although it was the two of us alone in the visit, it was also made, which shows the seriousness of this Enterprise.
Visit 100% recommended with Amedina

5.00Nacho has been an excellent day, of which you will find very special occasions. We were very lucky to be a group of 6 people and to be able to make the route alone. Nacho’s explanations were a real source of data and knowledge and the visit was an experience, perfectly coordinated and interesting.
Great experience!

5.00We booked this guided tour of Medina Azahara and our guide Antonio was the best. I explain everything in detail with humor, sympathy, professionalism and made them super nice and short. We learned a lot and, if we return to Córdoba, we will repeat without hesitation for another visit. I have to say that being just my partner and I on the tour made it much easier for us to listen to the visit than if we had been a large group.
