Cordoba Full Day Trip With Mosque Entrance From Malaga

Jewish quarter excursion is just for people who need guiding. You will go through it anyway after muskit-cathedral visit and guides voice is disappearing into crowds' voices, probably just because of your receiver issues. I would recommend to go off right after cathedrals visit

We came to the meeting point, waited for half an hour, chatting with the agent in order to realize that the tour was cancelled. Of course, no one notified us inadvance. Never book trip with Julia travel because they are completely irrisoonsible

A wonderful day trip from Málaga to Córdoba. Everything was well organised, the journey was comfortable, and having the Mosque-Cathedral entrance included was a real bonus. Córdoba is such a beautiful and fascinating city, full of history, charming streets and incredible architecture. The Mosque-Cathedral was definitely the highlight — absolutely stunning and even more impressive in person. I’d definitely recommend this trip if you’re staying in Málaga and want to experience a little more of Andalusia.

Paid for what they said was tour and guided walk, only to find out it wasn’t - and despite contacting them, they refused to rectify. Si don’t trust what you read.

We booked this excursion from Fuengirola and we're picked up at 6:30 am, we spent 2.5 hours driving around (including changing drivers) until we finally arrived in Malaga. During this time there was no consideration of travelers possible needs for a bathroom and use of the bathroom on the bus is prohibited. Once the excursion officially started from Malaga everything was considered and the tour went well. The staff were good and knowledgeable giving us great tips about the area. The time in Cordoba was great; however we feel it was cut short due to the delayed start.

Well organized tour with great tour guides. Lots of information and great time in Cordoba. Don’t miss it.

Miss Elena from Torremolinos office was extremely helpful to arrange our visit to Cordoba. Because of excellent customer service of Miss Elena We strongly recommend Julia travel to our friends and relatives when visiting Torremolinos.

The destination was definitely appealing. But the tour company, Bravo tour company made everyone to sit in the bus for about an hour each way while picking up and dropping off tourists at about 10 different locations

It was wonderful!. Our tour guide, Miguel and the tour bus driver were very helpful. Please ask them to drop you where it is convenient.

Amazing, stunning and steeped in history. Do not miss the mozquita or a trip to Granada. I went on and organised trip with a guide who was invaluable. Unless you know Spanish history I would go with a guide or you will miss so much. Cordoba itself is a nice town with some nice architecture, plenty of shops cafes etc.

Visit around cathedral. Our guide Terry is fantastic. He is very nice, organised and knowledgeable. I wish I could stay longer in Cordoba.

Great guides and great trip to the beautiful Cordoba! It takes a while to get back and forth, but the guide on the bus made the ride more interesting by sharing facts and history of the sights and places we passed and were going to. Also had a great guide in Cordoba, who added a good tip for where to have lunch. With just enough free time, we also got some shopping done before returning to the coast. Thank you!

We had a great guide taking us round the impressive mosque which has been developed to incorporate a beautiful Catholic church/ chapels. Well worth the visit. We had a nice walk around the old town which includes the Jewish quarter. We also saw the Roman bridge over the river. Only problem was the time taken collecting / dropping off all the passengers at various locations.

<p>Fantastic day out!!<br/> However I wish I'd done this over two days because I ended up with information overload. The Mosque is incredible and the town itself full of narrow streets and lots of shops. Our guide Anna really knew her stuff when telling us about the history of the place.</p>

<p>The actual tour of Cordoba was great with time spent at the Mosque Cathedral and then a walking tour through the Jewish quarter and synagogue. Approximately 2 hrs of free time was also nice. The main complaint I have about this tour is that we spent 2 hrs picking up people in the morning, and then 2 hours dropping people off at the end of the day. Made for 8 hrs of traveling in the bus, which seemed like such a waste of time.</p>

<p>The guide, Paco, was a joke. His only explanation on the long drive to Córdoba was about the olive groves and production. We learned nothing about the history of the city or the sites we would visit. In fact, he never told us the name of the Mezquita, just assumed we knew or our other guide would tell us. On the ride home, he demanded to be dropped off the bus in Malaga, leaving he bus driver, who had not been there during initial pick-ups, to fend with driving the passengers to their varied locations, many of which he did not know in a language he did not speak. The driver, also Paco, was extremely professional and apologetic for the delays. We started our trip at 6:50 am and after a three hour return ride, arrived back at our hotel at 7:30 pm. A very disappointing experience due to an extremely unprofessional guide!</p>

<p>Somewhat interesting but I probably wouldn't recommend it to others. Probably better tours than this one.</p>

<p>Great tour with an excellent local guide in Cordoba</p>

<p>We had a great day in Cordoba. Our guide Paco was five star .</p>

<p>Don't do this trip if your taking it from estepona. It took 4 hours their and 4 hours back. Find another way to see Cordoba. Victor shouldn't offer this tour from estepona</p>

<p>We were the first passengers to be picked up at our hotel at 615 am. The tour bus was clean and modern. The tour guide, Paco was polite and knowledgeable. He conducted the tour in 3 languages: English, Spanish and German. He was flexible and permitted an unscheduled emergency bathroom stop. We arrived at Cordoba to visit the Mosque Cathedral of Cordoba which is on the UNESCO world heritage site. The Mosque cathedral was very impressive and we were in awe of the magnitude and scale of the building, the different phases and transformation of the mosque into a cathedral. Our local tour guide, Maria Jose was calm, and knowledgeable. She also led us on a walking tour of the Jewish quarter as well as the Arabic quarter. We had some free time to explore the area and to grab lunch. The one thing that caught us by surprise was the prevalence of smoking by tour guides and tourists alike. Being from the Pacific Northwest in the United States, we are not accustomed to second hand smoke. This negative exposure was most noticeable by my 11 year old son. Perhaps this negative experience will make an impression on him to deter him from smoking in the future. With all the other stops along the way to drop off the other tourists, we were the last ones to be dropped off, returning to our hotel after 8 pm.</p>

<p>Required difficult telephone conversations for highway/busstop pick-up in darkness; 30 minutes late; bus had four language requirements which was very disturbing after unexpected 2-hour trip for all hotel pickups; three hour drive from Malaga with one needed rest-stop was ok; Cordova cathedral local guide in English was very good, but group was too large particularly strung out walking through old-town; tapas/lunch selection on own but enough ti,er free 2 hrs; return trip long and tiring; bus guide Anabelle became ill and her efforts were feeble; safe and late return to highway bus stop</p>

<p>we booked this trip before we left the uk for Spain. We were asked to confirm our booking 48 before. the problem we had when I rang the number given no one could speak English, I then sent an e mail to be informed that I would receive a reply within48 hours ( we would be in Spain so would not receive e mail reply in time) although at the time this seemed to be a problem when we rang on our arrival to our hotel everything was sorted.<br/> Our pick up time was exact which came as a surprise as the coach had come from Marbella. Cordoba was an amazing city and I am surprised more information is not given about this amazing place. The coach was clean although I did find the seats slightly uncomfortable. We had a stop each way but as this is used by various bus companies you often find a queue for the ladies toilets. <br/> Our coach guide was very helpful, he had to do his commentary in 5 different languages but managed this very well.</p>

<p>Cordoba was one of the highlights of our vacation. We're so happy that you made us feel welcome, were extremely knowledgeable about the cathedral and mosque and the coach and facilities were 5-star.</p>

<p>Very much useless waiting until we were with our guide. She was good.</p>

<p>the tour was great, enough time to take good photos and excellent local guide<br/> the old quarter is great to tour for the first time with a guide to find your way in and around<br/> a worthwhile tour while on the costa del sol</p>

<p>Awesome tour! Very informative! Cathedral is beautiful! I learned a lot on this tour!</p>

<p>The trip to Cordoba was thoroughly enjoyable and the mezquita was truly awesome. The town of Cordoba epitomises Spain. the only flaw on the whole day was the location of the pick up point which was over 4 kms from our hotel!</p>

<p>Excellent trip, local guide was very knowleadgable.</p>

<p>Fantastic tour guide both on jourrney and locally in Cordoba...our tour guide was Maria and she is brilliant..highly recommend!!</p>

<p>The guide was not knowledgeable enough to saturate us with as much details of the Mezquita. He is a slow talker and he referred a lot to his book and showed drawings which are not clear from far. The group was big and there are no ear phones for each of us.</p>

<p>Tour guide Anabel was great, too bad she did not do the sightseeing. Wasted lots of time waiting for English guide and rest of English tour group to arrive. The guide (Luis) was so annoying we again took off on our own collecting our Mezquite entry tickets beforehand. He just stood and talked about history for 30 min - we were there to SEE not the take a history lesson... other people bolted also.</p>

<p>Just Ok...Other than the Cathedral, you do not get to see anything else. I wish the tour would include a city overview or panoramic tour. Or at least an hour or so on our own to see the city.</p>

<p>My friend and I had a very good trip to Cordoba from Estepona, we were picked up on time. The guides were very nice and efficient, we had good value for money. Sandra</p>

<p>Our guide was very knowlegeable. We had enough time to wander around after our guided tour. The only complaint was that the restaurant that we stopped at had only two toilets.</p>

Once again Viator had a great local contact & guide. We enjoyed the pick up since our hotel was a little out of town. Guide was knowledgeable and personable. Others (not in our tour) tagged along which was a disadvantage.

This was incredible to see the mosque, cathedral, syngouge and the rich history behind the culture. Nice city great guide at the site

The English-speaking guide in Cordoba was excellent but the tour company really could have given us more free time in the old city.

Local guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the cathedral and its history. Very interesting.

I suggest not going on the organized lunch and take in more of the city. I was able to visit the Alcazar gardens which unfortunately were not part of the tour.

Everything was amazing, the only downside was that the bus was an hour late to pick us up from the hotel.

The tour guides were excellent so enjoyed the ride in your comfortable buses.

It was a very pleasant trip with a very capable guide. We heard a lot about the places along the way, which made the bus ride there feel shorter. Our guide was very present throughout the trip and made sure everything went well. The local guide to the mosque was incredibly knowledgeable.

We should have started the tour at 11am for no reason it started at 2pm and it was very hot at this time, I hope Seville will be unsurprising

Très bon guide.. elle parlait Très bien le français...explication claire et précise La mosquée est de toute beauté...

Magnifique journée, notre accompagnateur Jean-Pierre fut très apprécié par sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme ainsi que notre guide à destination était très interessant. La ville est splendide, nous avons été très impressionnés par la cathédrale mosquée, le cartier juif est ravissant et le pont romain est d’une telle beauté!

Belle visite de la mosquée ainsi que de plusieurs ruelles du quartier. Notre guide était intéressant. Par contre, trop d’interférences avec les audios dans la mosquée, difficile d’entendre le guide. Nous aurions aimé plus de temps assis à l’intérieur pour contempler la richesse des lieux et s’imprégner de l’ambiance.

Très belle visite de la cathédrale-synagogue. Excellent guide en français. Nous avons visité par nous même l'Alcazar de Los Reyes Christianos. Très intéressant.

Visite guidée de la mosquée très intéressante. La visite à pied du quartier avec la guide locale aussi. Très jolie ville, avec rues piétonnes. Beaucoup de temps libre aussi pour visiter et se promener. A voir absolument.
