Additional Information
Exiting Seville, our journey takes us towards Andalusia, leading to our initial stop, Carmona. Skimming through the historical lanes, with sights of buildings predominantly painted in bright white - a sight which rightfully earns the town its moniker, ‘The White Village’.
Subsequent to our sojourn in Carmona, our next location is Cordoba.
A unique destination featuring an amalgamation of art, old-world streets, and history spanning across various cultures. Its ancient mosque is an architectural asset covering eight centuries. Further, Cordoba possesses a Jewish Quarter, the only locale within the region of Andalusia to house a synagogue. The Andalusian patios are worthy of a stroll, simultaneously fostering a chance to relish local delicacies.
Following our exploration, we will return to our coach for the journey back to Seville, expected arrival at 19:00 hours.

100% recommended experience - What a lovely city! I recommend everyone to go through Cordoba because the Cathedral-Mosque is beautiful. The Lion guide was spectacular and provided a lot of quality information. The only detail is if you want to enter Real Alcazar it is practically impossible because of the schedules. In this case, it closed earlier than normal so we could not visit it.

Beautiful Day In Cordoba - We have chosen the Cordoba tour with the first stop at the white city. The whole experience was beyond our expectations. We enjoyed it every visit and minute of it. We love Spain 🇪🇸 and Andalusia. Is like a crossroad of cultures, religions and civilizations. History, architecture, the colors and how well preserved is Cordova are few things that really impressed us and make that part of the world 🌎 so unique❣️.
Most importantly though, we like to highlight the positive approach, knowledge, professionalism and kindness of our tour guid DRISS. He is an amazing person and we feel so lucky to have him today in our tour. Special thanks to the whole team, Emilio and to the driver too!
Unfortunately we have no more days in Spain, but definitely we will recommend NATURANDA to our friends and relatives visiting Iberia Peninsula.

Magical - Read this, Córdoba is a MUST visit city if you're staying in Seville. I've never seen a city with so much history depth. And if you're lucky you'll get Ivan as your tour guide. We had him as our guide the day before in Sevilla and we loved seeing him again. His knowledge about the city is mindblowing and you can tell how passionate he is about it. 10/10

Loved Córdoba - We took the tour with our guide Leon and our driver Miguel. Leon provided great information on the monuments and interesting details throughout the tour. He was pleasant, professional, and polite. My family of 3 adults, one 13 year old boy, and a 9 year old girl really enjoyed the tour. We hope you visit Córdoba with León and Miguel in the future!

Great experiance - I had arrived in Spain and had a great experience traveling from Seville to the city of Cordoba. I got to see a lot of amazing sites and the guide was very helpful with giving lots of information. I was also able to take lots of great pictures, learn and have a good meal for lunch.

Excellent day - We visited Carmona and then Cordoba with Naturanda. We joined a group at the foot of the Bus to Carmona at first. The guide NIEVES accompanied us all this way and shared with us his knowledge about this part of Spain. Arrival in Carmona we made a small walking tour in the city. Then our guide, put us in the hands of the local guide for the visit of the magnificent mosque that deserves a visit of 1.5 to 2 hours. With a guide it is better but there are also audio-guided. Great organization, great visits, great day. Thank you.

Excellent pick up but Tour Guide conducting in English made us lose valuable shopping time and a restaurant that was far - The trip was good only sad part was at Cordoba the Tour Guide Rebecca lost her way to locate the Jewish section and time was wasted in finding this. Also she recommended a restaurant far away from the shopping areas and halal restaurants which was a let down as I missed out on cheaper shopping opportunity and also halal restaurants. I should have joined the others that decided not to go to the recommended restaurant as the food was not cheap. She did provide us with 10 minutes to shop right in front of the mosque cathedral but the price was three times more expensive and i only bought a magnet. I wanted the bags and ceramic plates and earrings lots that i saw when we passed by but this restaurant in the middle of no where seemed to be her priority.
