A good experience - A good tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide who explained the history of the mosque cathedral in great detail. The mosque/cathedral is definitely a must do and the tour was well organised.

A very interesting and enjoyable tour - My wife and I joined this tour during our recent wider tour of Andalusia.
We booked it through Viator but the tour was delivered by OWAY Tours.
Christina was our guide for this English tour and she was excellent. Headsets were provided which enabled us to wander away from the group to take photographs but still remain in touch with the commentary.
Christina’s delivery was excellent, easy to understand and we were able to ask questions as and when required.
The tour lasted for two hours and covered every aspect and history of the Mosque-Cathedral.
Very highly recommended

Take the tour to make your visit meaningful - OWAY tours, and our guide Joaquin were excellent. It was easy to meet up with their instructions. Little fuss to confirm our tickets once we were there. The audio system worked well. Our guide (Joaquin) was easy to understand in English and his information was at the right level to provide great insight and appreciation for this magnificent site.
Overall, the Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral was far more than we expected. Absolutely beautiful and an opportunity for a non-Muslim to see inside a Mosque. It is stunning.

The tour guide was aggressive - During the tour we tried to ask the tour guide some question but he treated us like kids in school, he was aggressive on where we should stand and how to follow , he was not polite at all, also with short answers to our questions, he just wanted to end the tour and get rid of us. the guy with glasses and blond hair I'm talking about.
Sorry but it was a bad tour with this guy.

Must visit site in Cardoba - Things were a bit disorganized and times changed. Our guide was know legible but seemed frazzled by noise and so many people he had and other visiting at the same time. Next time would probably do the night tour

Nothing you can’t do by yourself with an audio guide for a cheaper price. - The informations during the tour were satisfying, but the guide wasn’t engaging or enthusiastic.
Actually it seemed that he was annoyed by been there.
The price in my opinion is too high compared to the normal entrance fee, with the audio guide you get the same info and you can see everything at your own pace.
