Cordoba: Mosque,Cathedral, Alcazar & Synagogue with Skip the Line Tickets

The places were spectacular! Our guide had a very thick accent and repeated herself a lot. This combination coupled with the length of the tour had us all yawning. It was boring. If she could improve her English skills and focus on important information and say it only once, she could probably get the tour done in 3 hours and it would be more interesting.

The tourism spots: Those spots are a must if you come to Cordoba. People might think you are on business trip if you don't. But those are just bunch of beautiful buildings without meaning and history if you don't get a good local guide. About the Guide: I was very lucky I got Elena. Many reviews talked high about her. After spending half day with her, I think good is understatement. First of all her English is very clear and she is very easy going. She liked to make jokes, not all funny but most of them are :) Secondly, she knows every little details about every corner we visited. All the 47 families with chapels in the mezquita, even when I asked "why" she always have answers and putting context into the answers. It makes me understand the history from one dynasti to another and all just made sense thanks to her. The sad news is that day was her second last day. She is about to take a job with the municipalities of her hometown, which has a lot of roman ruins. I wish her luck and I hope there are many more guides like her in Cordoba. Tips for Oway: I know it might be not practical, but segregating groups in age could also be an option to keep the pace :)

Elena our guide was excellent and made the history or Córdoba come to life. The mosque is absolutely beautiful as are the gardens at Alcazar.

Your guide was very knowledgeable we really enjoyed the tour and would Highly recommend the aclazar castle

Our guides were very knowledgeable the tour was definite highlight of our trip. The tour itself is very long and I wish the description suggests packing snacks and drinks - especially on a hot day.

Our guide Ricardo was excellent. Knew his facts very well. Skipped queues everywhere. The tour could have been shorter though, there were many breaks and was a bit tiring for kids.

Five stars for the first part of our tour with Christine. She knows her history and her English was very easy to understand. She is very professional. Cannot say the same for the second part of our tour with Elena. She did not have all her facts correct and I cringed every time she put her hand on a display glass.I really don’t care about a guides personal opinions either. I enjoy stories about the area but not personal stories. We take tours to be informed not poorly entertained.

Our guide (Christina) was excellent - was very knowledgeable, and also told amusing stories and anecdotes about Cordoba history along the way.

The mosque was amazing but the place was great. It was about 4 hours standing & walking so not for fragile people. We really loved it all

Great tour and guide! Elena made it fun and interesting. It never got boring, even though it was 4 hours long. All the places were beautiful and worth seeing. We also liked the size of the group, because it was easier to maneuver through crowds.
