First of all I want to say the actual tour guide that walk us through the cathedral was good and that is why i give 2 stars instead of 1. BUT EVENT TOURS organization was really BAD. 1) they gave us a meeting point in a very crowded area but failed to tell us that they sign was a green umbrella, so I had to go asking around and once I found them they were unpolite as if it was my fault. 2) they do not ADVISE that there is a strict outfit policy to enter the Cathedral. My daughter that was well dress but with her back and shoulder not fully covered (it was 36 degrees in Cordoba) was NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER. I am talking about a european girl elegantly dressed for a mediterranean summer, nothing outrageous. But the worse part is that is not written anywhere!!, neither on the tickets and we were not advise by EVENT TOURS before entering. Even worse, EVENT TOURS DID NOT DEFEND US on the issue at the door.

Spectacular site worth seeing. Easy walk from train. Good food in the town. Not sure I would recommend this tour for this
Would recommend! The tour was smooth and well organized, and very informative as well. Getting a guided visit of the mosque is absolutely worth it to really appreciate the monument and it’s history. Just had hoped we could have had more time to wander around/ more free time inside.
I recently took a guided tour of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, and it was an outstanding experience. Our guide, Anna, was amazing—deeply knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and clearly passionate about the history and beauty of this incredible monument. The tour lasted around two hours, which felt just right: long enough to appreciate the rich cultural layers of the site without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and learned so much along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Córdoba. It’s absolutely worth it!
Was soooo impressed by the Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral. May have been the historical highlight of our trip. Our guide Rebecca was outstanding
Very informative and lovely tour with Anna. She clearly is knowledgeable and loves what she does. We learned a great deal and enjoyed our visit. Perfect amount of time. Highly recommended
This experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very first contact, the service was impeccable. Our guide, Sarai, was the star of the tour. His knowledge of the local history was impressive, and he shared it in such a passionate way that every stop became fascinating. Furthermore, his sense of humor and positive energy created a very pleasant atmosphere among all the group participants
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of this AMAZING building. It was the highlight of our time in Cordoba. Our guide, Jaime, was excellent. As well as giving us the history of the building, he was humourous as well. He also mentioned that if we wanted to return when there were less people there, to take more photos, then there is free entry from 8.30am until 9.30am! If you are on a guided tour you have to leave the building at the same time as the rest of your group.
Rafa was superb. He went over the top and really gave his whole regarding the history of this incredible monument. I do recommend TripAdvisor to anyone who’s looking to create a curated event and have a good time anytime they’re traveling around the world. Like Donald Trump Tripadvisor is the best!
It was an amazing tour. The guide (Rafa) shared his passion and knowledge with the group by explaining the history of this masterpiece.
very knowledgeable guide and very patient. Beutiful cathedral! A must see if you are in Cordoba. will let my friends know
Excellent experience with Rafa (the Caliph, obviously) who made us fall in love with the Mosque, living and seeing it as if we were hundreds of years in the past, truly engaging.
Very good experience, I loved the Mosque-Cathedral, the guide, Rafa, was excellent and the explanations were very good
The guide Rafa the Caliph is nothing short of exceptional. He engaged us with the unique enthusiasm of someone who loves the art of his land and takes pleasure in sharing it with those who come to visit. On this tour, with a detailed description of the mosque/cathedral, he managed to literally give us goosebumps! Heartfelt thanks, highly recommended.
Everything perfect, the guide was interesting and precise, the cathedral is simply wonderful and it is worth visiting it with someone who knows how to describe it.
We had Emma as our guide; what can I say, she was very well prepared!
Good experience with a valid guide
It was a tour in Spanish, and through the lively gestures, I was able to understand much more easily!
Visit in Spanish not French No audio guide
We had a guided tour with Rafa called me Califo ... very good...
It was a beautiful tour, thanks also to the guide Miguel who made everything very interesting and entertaining
Rafa the caliph of the guides, the best tour guide ever met!
Miguel a good guide. Making all ages integrate. Simple and curious explanations.great professional
Amazing tour we did with Rafa through the Jewish quarter and mosque. All very well explained and very enjoyable, you can tell that he likes what he does and knows how to transmit it
All beautiful and guides you a ten, because there is no more punctuation.To repeat and recommend to everyone.Dive into the city of Cordoba is like going back to the past, a very rewarding experience.
We got caught in a fire drill just as we were about to start the visit. Our guide Isabel took it as an opportunity and gave us a previous tour of the streets of the Jewry before we could enter the tour She took her time and we ended up an hour later even though she had more groups after Thank you so much!
We made the visit with Rafa el Caliph! A beautiful and interesting visit. Rafa was really nice and competent. Highly recommended
The organization, great, and the best guide, Rosa; very kind a great professional,, very prepared, very concrete, very pleasant It made us very pleasant, and very short, the visit.
The visit was correct the guide very dry and also with the fixed mic in the neck so when I turned my head you could not hear the explanations instead of bringing the mic stuck to the mouth so we missed half the explanations, otherwise correct.
Extraordinary experience with Rafa guide, El Caliph! Exceptional boy who was able to masterfully illustrate the wonders of the mosque-cathedral of Cordoba contextualizing them in the historical period. Highly recommended! Stefano and Stefania of Verona
Exceptional, it was a magical visit, the Rafa guide is incredible as he tells you the story of the Mosque, making you enveloped every corner of that place full of spirituality, and you are left wanting to continue knowing details of its history.
The best guide we could have. We were very lucky with Rafa. He explains everything in detail and enthusiasm. The best option to visit the Mosque-Cathedral well.
A tour with Rafa the guide, fantastic, very good explanations rating that he likes his work, worth taking this tour with guide.
Sarai was a great guide. Know perfectly the history of Cordoba and know how to transmit it with a spicy and charming humor that makes the tour enjoyable, fun and not boring. He explains everything very clearly and handles language with great fluency. Thank you very much, Sarai, for sharing your knowledge and making the tour an unforgettable experience.
I recommend it one hundred percent made it very enjoyable our guide is called Rosa and the truth that she was telling us a lot of things and also telling us anecdotes and explaining everything very detailed and very enjoyable. I recommend it
The tour of the Mosque-Cathedral was fascinating, much "guilt" was Rafa, our guide, who conveyed his passion for it and in a didactic and enjoyable way revealed almost all its secrets. Out of ten!!!
Well organized experience, starting from the meeting point, at the entrance, microphones and throughout the visit. Fluent and impeccable explanation in Italian, both from a historical and architectural point of view. Thank you Gemma, because you managed to excite us with your enthusiasm in front of a spectacular monument.
Today we have carried out with Rafa the Caliph the complete visit of Cordoba. Rafa was really interesting and good at transmitting knowledge with passion. Very recommended.
We went with Rafa and it couldn't be better. I recommend 100% to enter with guide since if bo you will not know anything. Un 10! The truth
The guide Miguel very cool with fun implications and the visit became very enjoyable. I loved the visit and the place and Cordoba in general I loved it.
The Mosque itself is spectacular but visiting with Miguel and attending to his explanations gave it much more value. Thankful for your patience when curiosity assaulted with questions during the tour, which you answered at all times.
Miguel explained everything very well and in a pleasant way. You rating that he loves what he explains. History, curiosities and anecdotes. We loved it!
Spectacular guided tour, very interesting, well explained, an excellent guide, Pink, friendly and tells the story in a pleasant way. I recommend it.
Spectacular, visiting the Cathedral Mosque of Cordoba is an obligation if you come to visit the city. The interior is amazing and the explanations of our guide Isabel, fantastic.
The great guide, and the beautiful place. It's worth it. Despite the heat, it was best to choose first thing to avoid many crowds
Rosa, our guide, made the visit very enjoyable and fun, we loved her explanations and her way of guiding us and showing us the cathedral mosque. Highly recommended really, I have enjoyed many guided tours and without a doubt, with Rosa the visit became very fun.
Unique experience the visit of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba, even more thanks to our Rafa guide, really helpful, very prepared and ready to revive the magic of the places and every single piece of history enclosed within those walls! Unforgettable!
The building and its spectacular history as we already boast. The very interesting guided tour. The guide proved to be well aware of the history and details although, in our opinion, throwing too much irony to the point of being clueless about the credibility of some of his explanations. The good sense of humor is appreciated but like everything, with restraint.
Beautiful visit, the Rafa guide proved very competent and made the visit very engaging. A monument of this complexity is essential to visit it with a guide.
The Rafael guide gave the impression of a person who loves to do his job. The emphasis and passion he puts into the description of the cathedral captures and holds the attention of the participants to very high levels. Bravo 👏.
