Don't Miss This Amazing Cathedral within a mosque - Made Better With An Expert Guide - We have never seen anything like this is all of our many travels. Inside this beautiful mosque, there is a huge surprise - a complete Catholic Cathedral. Unlike most religious sites, the Catholics didn't demolish the mosque and start over, instead they preserved 80% of this gorgeous mosque and built a cathedral within it. It was totally worth going and it was one of the highlights of our travels in Spain. We used My Top Tours, and our guide, Jamie, a native of Cordoba, was so friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour an absolute delight!

Great ☺️ - The guide was great, we went with my 8 and 10 year old daughters, and she made the girls pay attention throughout the visit and ask her questions about the mosque

Mezquita guided tour - Visited the Mezquita yesterday under the guidance of guide Jaime. Very nice, impressive monument anyway and that was made even more fun by the enthusiastic and professional guidance of Jaime. Clearly understandable, clear in his agreements, humor and with metaphors to things we know in the present. Also because he occasionally adds something about Spanish culture and Cordoba that is nicely complementary without distracting from the goal. I think it's special that someone who has been doing this for so long and so often is still so enthusiastic about his city and its monuments. Recommended

Great Mezquita tour! - If you're visiting the stunning Mezquita in Córdoba and have Jaime as your guide, you're in for a treat! Jaime’s extensive knowledge and passion for the history of the Mezquita made our tour both educational and incredibly enjoyable. He expertly navigated us through the architectural marvels, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought the historical and cultural significance of the site to life. His enthusiasm and professionalism greatly enhanced our experience, making it not just a tour, but a journey through time. Highly recommend Jaime for anyone looking to discover the depths of the Mezquita!

A wonderful morning in Cordoba - Jose Maria (Chama?) gave an absolutely brilliant tour. His knowledge was comprehensive and encyclopaedic and he delivered it in a fun and interesting way. The Mosque Cathedral is of course the undoubted star of the show, a must-see.

Poorly run organization, but good tour in the end - Tour, itself, was well organized, engaging and informative. If I was rating only on the tour, I would give a 5. However, the administrative part of the business is run terribly. The office does not respond to messages, whether by phone, WhatsApp, email or even Facebook. I reserved the tour a month in advance and wasn't even sure it would happen until the evening before. Furthermore, I didn't think I was going to be able to do it in English until I arrived and he informed me that it would be in English.

it was fine - the tour was ok. our guide wasn’t good at storytelling or conveying the information interestingly. I’m not upset about the info, but it was annoying that we couldn’t turn in our headsets early to leave. we had to wait until the entire tour was over and give our headset back to our same guide otherwise we’d get charged. The last like 25 minutes we were just waiting
