Definitely worth booking - We really enjoyed the tour. There is a lot to see and learn about the site. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also stayed longer inside after the tour, to take in the atmosphere and take more photos.

Knowledgeable and interesting guide to Cordoba Mosque/Cathedral - Isabella was our guide for the Cordoba Mosque/Cathedral. She had a depth of information about its history, art, and architecture, and an ability to present it in an interesting fashion. We would recommend her highly as a guide.

Outstanding tour - Angel is the consummate guide. His knowledge is so vast, he has such a warm personality and is so happy to answer questions. My husband and I were totally enthralled by the beauty and history of the Mezquita and by our superb guide.

Absolutely Stunning! - Absolutely stunning!! The Cordoba mosque is a wonderful example of exceptional architecture and beauty. You can not go to Andalusia and not visit Cordoba mosque. Our tour guide was great, we were in a small group of five or six. The tour was in english and it’s worth it to book a guide. Our guide explained the background and history of the beautiful building and the different historical changes that took place over the centuries. A must see!

An extraordinary place with so much history - We thoroughly enjoyed our visit despite the crowds. Presume there’s only one tour a day because it’s still low season? Would have preferred an earlier time slot as by 12.45 it was heaving! The guide Isabel(la?) was very informative and navigated is through the crowds well. She is very knowledgeable & I would recommend this as a tour rather than just visiting without a guide.

At best average - The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the muslim language and history, and provided a lot of detail about that. But did not give that much detail about the architecture, history and construction about the cathedral. Finally, the website did not provide the length of the tour. For the price paid, I expected something longer than 1 hour.
