Every traveler visiting Córdoba shouldn’t leave without seeing the Jewish Quarter, one the symbols of the city. In this tour will talk of the history of the Jews, how they came to the Iberian Peninsula, called by them Sefarad, and how they reached very high status during the Caliphate of Córdoba. Know the story of impressive people that were born here like Maimónides, a genius of the twelve century. Visit the Synagogue and the Zoco, a traditional market. You will also get in touch with the Mudéjar style in the Chapel of Saint Bartholomew. • Calleja de la Hoguera. • Cardenal Salazar Square. • Chapel of Saint Bartholomew. • Zoco (local market). • Maimónides Sculpture. • Synagogue.
This tour was disappointing. The guide (Jose or Tema) explained very little about Jewish history of Cordoba or even Jewish life in more recent years. He spoke about himself, primarily. He lacked even the basic sense of history, such as the extent of the expulsion, forced conversion, ececutions of Jewish citizens. Too bad.
Got stuck in traffic and none of the contact numbers replied so lost the trip. Very disappointed and annoyed
Tour took approximately 45 minutes. We joined another tour started before in other places and continue to other places. The guide was good and very knowledgeable.
Thanks Raphael - very interesting stories and commentaries. We enjoyed your tour. We strongly recommend it.
Had to book days in advance to get a spot and was really looking forward to it, just to find my booking canceled hours before the tour for no apparent reason.
The schedule of our planned visit was changed the day before but the guide never came. On the phone, the person from the agency grafted us without warning to another visit, absolutely lame with a guide who had no knowledge, and then changed guide again which was very good. The synagogue was closed on May 1st but that did not stop them from selling tickets, no visit to the Jewish quarter as planned. Really beneath everything.
Great guide Pilu. Passionate about its city and origins, knowledgeable about historical and cultural aspects, details, friendly, correct and continuously providing value to the tour. Voluntary payment more than deserved. 100% Recommended tour and guide.
We booked this guided tour of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba for 1pm. Just before noon, I get a message telling me that the schedule is a mistake, that the tour starts at 12:30. Luckily, we managed to be on time... not our Guide. The agency we were in contact with through whatsapp was telling us they couldn't reach him. We waited 35 minutes, to no avail. The agency offered to refund us, which should be done within 3-5 days according to the email received from TripAdvisor.
We were with Mariví, he made us a very pleasant visit, he got us into the history of the city in a very professional and entertaining way mixing academic knowledge with the experiences of living in Córdoba. A 10.
I definitely recommend it. Despite lasting 2 hours, the time flew by. My daughters aged 12 and 16 also enjoyed it a lot thanks to the anecdotes and curiosities of our guide Jaime super friendly and fun. We will certainly repeat
El guía muy bueno! Sabía mucha información a detalle sobre la cultura y la historia. Buen recorrido :)
Fue nuestra primera excursión según llegamos a Córdoba y la verdad es que no pudimos tener mejor comienzo. El guía se explicaba genial y era muy divertido. Íbamos con niños y se entretuvieron mucho con los chascarrillos y anécdotas que contaba en cada parada.
The Rafa guide made it very enjoyable, it is very fun commenting on many interesting places in the area as well as curious details of all the Jewry, highly recommended. We took it in conjunction with the tour in the alcazar.
Excellent explanations very friendly and empathetic treatment , has made us excited about the city and its history. Great Rafael!!!!!
It’s the first freetour I’ve done in my life and the experience has been very positive. Especially thanks to Sole, a true professional in her own.
Very good experience, we have done the guided tour with Antonio, a very friendly and attentive boy and who has explained very well the history of this special part of the historic center of Córdoba. Recommended 100%
