One small suggestion: it would be great to include more about how the people of Córdoba resisted changes to the mosque and how much locals still cherish it. Otherwise, everything was perfecto!”

Skip lines in Córdoba on a 3.5-hour small-group tour. Alcázar, Judería, and the Mosque-Cathedral with English/Spanish guidance.
“Jose did a fantastic job as our guide. He gave us a very informative briefing of Cordoba’s and the various sights we saw. We took the 3.5 hrs tour which went very quickly. My only suggestion is to give more time in the mosque/cathedral to take photos. We were only given 5 mins free time after the talk to wander around ourselves - it would have been good to have 10-15 mins and perhaps condense the talk in the mosque. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cordoba for the first time.”
