Visit highly recommended. - We met Toñi by chance. But it was a wonderful experience, when you make a visit to a monument with as much history as the mosque and make it with someone as qualified as Toñi and who loves his work, we can only say that it became very short, all his explanations so well reasoned and argued with his knowledge and your kindness were very well assimilated and I can say nothing but thank you for everything Toñi. We'll meet again in Cordoba.

Highly recommended. Thank you very much. - Many thanks to Routes Accessible through Córdoba, and many thanks to Toñy, who has taken us hand in hand with the whole family, in a visit through the history of the Mosque where he has not failed in his story, which has been pleasant, easy to follow and without keeping a single detail, but also has answered our doubts with a wide knowledge of the history of the monument, and the context in which it was encompassed... we took to London a very rewarding experience, and we recommend a visit to the Mosque of Cordoba with Toñy. Thanks again. Enrique

The Mosque of Cordoba: an authentic WONDER, explained by an exceptional guide!! - The Mosque is impressive and well worth visiting. The guide that accompanied us (Toñi) was super and was very well documented. He also explained the different phases of the Mosque to us in a perfectly structured way. The best of all was the pleasant and instructive way in which he explained everything to us. The visit flew by and we were not very happy.

Unforgettable visit - We were hesitant about taking the guided tour because my partner already knew the Mosque, but we wanted to know a little more about the history. And everything was a hit. We did the viewing with Toñi, and it was a luxury, especially because it was with us alone. We loved his explanations and how pleasant he was and, above all, all the details he told us. In addition to other recommendations to see the city. Totally recommended and thank Toñi, a charming woman, for her work.
