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.

Mosque of Cordoba - A great visit! Toñy, charming, you can see the experience and good work. Very interesting explanation, very prepared, with photos, anecdotes and curiosities, resolving doubts, recommended how to take some very interesting photos. When it's over you can stay taking photos, so you can stay tuned during the talk. Not very large groups. Highly recommended.
