Great tour! The right amount of time and the right amount of history. - I really enjoyed this tour! It was just over an hour long but provided enough history to keep you interested and to give you insight into how this mosque cathedral came about. A must see regardless of your religion.

We didn’t love the tour.... - We didn’t love the tour. The Islamic part of the Mezquita was beautiful as expected of Moorish architecture. Our guide spoke through an audio device and it was hard to hear her at times. She also seemed to jump back and forth in the timeline of the Moors and Spanish, making it confusing to follow. The Spanish-Catholic additions were a bit over the top and detracted from, more than enhanced the beauty of the Moor’s architecture. Some tour guides love their jobs and their enthusiasm translates but I thought our tour was lacking in presentation and organization of information.

Cathedral fascinating - guide not very helpful. - Organizationally, the tour was fine. Timely and the equipment all worked. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Far too much information was presented throughout and it all was facts - dates and numbers. Extremely boring. No stories and no meaning or intention behind the facts. The delivery was too fast, similar pitch and with an almost unintelligible accent. After five minutes the spiel could have been Spanish or gibberish. I was tempted to just turn the sound off. After an hour and a half I sadly know little more than when I started. I would not recommend this guide as nice as she was.
