David was a wonderful tour guide. He contacted us before the tour and took care of everything including making lunch reservations for us which is a must during the busy tourist season. He was very knowledgable and passionate about the rich history of the area. When I wanted to find unique gifts he took us off the main tourist path to a small shop where we could watch a man handcraft silver jewelry. The jewelry is very traditional, unique, beautiful and reasonably priced. Sadly the tour company that offers this tour is very disorganized and we were so lucky to have David who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable day.

Miguel was our guide. He was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about Cordoba and the history of the town. We really enjoyed the tour & highly recommend it. It was a great and memorable experience. He even gave us a side driving tour if Carmona & gave us tips and ideas of more things to do during our stay in Seville.
Cordoba is a place well worth visiting. We had Carlos as our tour guide, he is very knowledgeable about the sites, the itinerary was very well thought out and he speaks good English. He also took us to a very good restaurant for lunch. My wife forgot her phone in the car and Carlos was kind enough to bring it back to our hotel. I highly recommend this tour operator.
Enthusiastic tour guide , walk with us lots of area of Corbona , show as many units of traditional layout of the houses.
Had a great private tour to Montserrat with Alba. She was an excellent tour guide who had a wealth of information on not just the tour part but also recommendations to check around Barcelona in our free time.She guided us on options to check during the free time we had at Montserrat and helped us with the tickets . Highly recommended to use this tour.
We had a great tour with Jesus. He shared a ton of knowledge about Còrdoba, kept us entertained, and ensured we left with a great appreciation of the city. Both the adults and the 10 year old child were happy at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
We had a very good time together with Jesus today. I travelled with my family ( 2 teenagers) and our guide Jesus kept us "thrilled" with interesting infos through the journey!
The history the guide told us. Walking around the historical town and seeing what was there. The mosque/cathedral was unbelievable
I had an incredible trip that was made even more special by our wonderful tour guide, Antonio. His warmth and passion truly enriched the experience
Great day thank you to Jesus. He was very knowledgeable and very informative. Recommend this trip highly
If you are in Seville and have time to do a day trip to Cordoba, we would highly recommend this tour. Jesus from Naturanda was our driver and tour guide for the day. He is very accommodating. He made sure we were back to our hotel in time for plans that we had that night. He is very knowledgeable, personable, great sense of humor and makes you feel like family. Before the tour of the Mosque, you will have time for lunch and personal shopping. Our personal recommendation for lunch if you are in the mood for tapas is La Lianta. This restaurant is a hidden gem! Before booking any excursions, I read many reviews … so I know how important they are. you will not be disappointed! We had a fantastic day in Cordoba with a stop in Carmona.
María was a very engaging guide in both English and Spanish. Her historical knowledge of Europe is vast, and she shared several anecdotes on how the rest of the world impacted and was impacted by the happenings in Andalucía. We all highly recommend her as well as Veronica inside the Mosque. Transport to and from was top notch.
Nice tour, comfortable car bd detailed visit of cordoba city and the mosque. Good tour gülde : Alberto. and. Ines. Everything is good. The only missing thing was during tour in mosque, poor mic system was not enough to catch all the local guide’s talk
We had a wonderful day with Jesus. He is a great Sevilla host, knowledgeable, kind, funny and accommodating. Our friends and us enjoyed our trip to a small town of Carmona and a magnificent Cordoba. While there were a lot of visitors, we didn’t feel overwhelmed or rushed, Jesus perfectly scheduled our visit and arranged a delicious lunch. The Mosk Carhedral is unbeliavable, just took my breath away. We were joined by a family of 3 and the Cordoba tour guide took us around the Mosk, providing an invaluable historical information. I highly recommend this tour!
Cordoba is beautiful. We love it. We took a lot of pictures. Alberto and Jesus were excellent and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour a lot. 💜
Having a tour given by Jose Luis was like having one given by an old friend. He was a joy to be around. He gave us plenty of time to walk around at our leisure as well as guide us through Cordoba. We loved strolling through the city and stopping at several patios open for viewing. We had beautiful walks across the bridge with plenty of time for picture taking. Of course, the highlight of the tour was visiting the Mosque. It did not disappoint. Overall this was a beautiful tour. I would recommend to all and book again.
We had a complete and wonderful day in Cordoba! Our guide recommended a great place for lunch, which was very much appreciated. When you don't know a place or where to find a good place to eat. But one of the wonderful highlights, was a stop before Cordoba, a very interesting and historical site at Carmona. It is a very pretty little town with an exceptional archaeological site with tombs, mausoleum and ruins. it was a surprise and we were delighted!
Our family of 5 did a private tour to Carmona and Cordoba. Our tour guide Peter was great! He brought history to life with engaging stories and had a good knowledge of a variety of subjects. He showed us many interesting “ extras” we would not have seen necessarily in a big group. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended for an unforgettable experience.!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Peter was an excellent tour guide and made our experience great! He was mindful on information that we wanted to hear and had a great recommendation for lunch.
Amazing tour guide with great knowledge of the palace and cathedral. Thank you for a wonderful tour and a great day in Seville
On our way from Seville to Cordoba, Jose Luis stopped by Carmona and gave us some background history of this picturesque town. Jose Lius is friendly and very knowledgeable of Cordoba history. We walked the town, stopping at places where he explained the history behind them. He recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch and gave us free time for shopping. At the time slot to enter the Mosque, he left us with the Mosque tour guide and was waiting for us when it finished.
Our day trip from Seville to Cordoba organized by Naturanda was pleasantly surprising. Initially, we thought the place visit would be very minimal as there were less attractions that we heard from the brochures and internet. But, our wonderful guide Som made it every memorable. She turned out to be one of the best tour guides we had ever come across. Places visited included an old olive oil mill, white village, breathtaking views to the town Grazalema and the unique city of Cordoba. Mezquita Catedral was turned out to be truly unique and the ancient times of Muslim dynasty were painstakingly kept with impeccable details. We also had one of our good lunches in the restaurant Cadiz at Grazalema recommended by our guide. Overall, it was worth the visit.
Jesus was an excellent guide! The mosque/Cathedral was incredible and we also saw a lot of other interesting things on this tour. It was a good experience.
I can't recommend Naturanda Turismo Ambiental or their Cordoba tour. Zero stars. First, within 24 hours of the tour, they send a message that the private tour will not be private for the highlight of the tour, La Mezquita. At this point it is too late to rebook and also just within the period that the tour is not refundable. No one at the company responded to my messages of concern. They put us in a group of 25 for the church tour. Again, this tour was marketed as private. Reprehensible and deceptive behaviour. The "guide" we were provided was more of a driver than a guide. Nice guy though. The vehicle provided was a beat up van that had been in one or more accidents, large dents in both sliding doors. The van felt unsafe. If I had a do over, I would take the train to Cordoba and save a fortune. Since management would not respond to my messages, I'd hope they don't try to explain this behavior away with an empty follow up comment.
Rey was excellent, flexible, and fun. He knew his stuff and didn’t take himself strictly. We’re vegans and he went out of his way to get us fed.
Our driver was excellent, showed us a great Restaurante a little more out of the way, private courtyards that are a part of a big competition here and little out of the way shops for better shopping from locals. The only thing I didn’t like was joining a large group to tour the mosque. The whole reason I like private tours is the ability to be without the crowd. Overall a nice day in Cordoba and we were not rushed to do anything
My husband and I booked a private tour for two to Cordoba (from Seville) with Naturanda Tours, and we were incredibly lucky to have the amazing Manuel as our guide. We have taken many tours in various destinations, and Manuel was among the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He was highly knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited, sharing facts, stories, and insights that went well beyond the basics, and he conveyed a genuine passion for the history that was truly inspiring. In addition to the main sites listed on the itinerary, Manuel also took us to some spots in Cordoba that we would likely have never gone to on our own, like a beautiful family-owned garden, and reserved a table at a fabulous local restaurant that was among our best meals in Spain. The highlight was a quick stop at the end of the day to Almodovar Castle on our way back to Seville. It was off our route, so we were so grateful that Manuel took the time to take us there. Throughout the tour, Manuel was incredibly kind and genuine, taking the time to explain what we were experiencing in plenty of detail and to thoughtfully and patiently answer all of our questions. All in all, we had a perfect day with Manuel, the best day of our weeklong trip to Andalusia. We would give him six stars if we could!
What a fantastic day in Cordoba! Our tour guide, Carlos, picked us up at our hotel and off we went. Our first stop was Carmona, where our guide pointed out to us the significance of this place since it was built on a hill. Off then to Cordoba, where we walked over the Roman bridge and saw the Jewish quarter and many of the gorgeous patios. Our excellent lunch spot was recommended to us by Carlos. Lunch is not included in the price of the tour. After lunch, we met up with a small group and had a tour of the mosque/cathedral. A long but fun day!
Had a very memorable private tour of Cordoba with our personal guide Luca. Luca was a wealth of knowledge on the area and a fun addition to our group of 7. Highly recommend this tour and especially Luca!!
Although our original guide was suddenly got ill, the tour organizer managed to arranged with other private guide, so that our tour experience still good.
This was a great tour; I highly recommend and Guido was excellent. He was very much in tune with what we wanted to see and what he wanted to be sure we had the opportunity to see and do. We enjoyed the stop in Carmona and the photo ops. I was anxious to see Cordoba, particularly the Mosque-Cathedral and surrounding area. My husband has some mobility issues so Guido made extra efforts to drop us off and pick us up to facilitate our experience. Guido gave me a tour of the lovely area around the Cathedral after he arranged for a spot in a nearby restaurant for my husband to relax. We then ate lunch together. After this delightful repast, we were able to enjoy the beautiful interior of the Cathedral.
This was an incredible tour, and our guide, Manuel was wonderful. He gave us all the information we wanted about the history and culture of the area including the Jewish quarter. We had lunch together in a great little garden restaurant. I can’t say anything negative!
Had a great time in Cordoba! It is a beautiful city! We loved seeing the sights and the restaurant that was chosen was delicious. We loved our guide - Luka. He was very knowledgeable and fun! We were not staying at a hotel, but he picked us up in front of our apartment - so easy!
Carlos was such a great tour guide. He hagas so much knowledge of the places he taking you. And trust me when he says he’s picking out a spot for lunch believe it will be good. Would 1000% book with this company and guide again.
This was a great tour and our guide Carlos was awesome . If you go to cordoba be sure to ask for Carlos ! You will have a great time !
Our tour guide Manual Bottazzo was terrific. On the day of the tour, we communicated over What's App to coordinate a pickup from the Sevilla airport that went very smoothly. On the drive to Cordoba, he gave us a background in Spanish history to help us understand what we were going to see. He had prepared a binder with various maps and images to illustrate what he was talking about. We left our luggage in the car while touring Cordoba. The restaurant he selected was also excellent and they were very accommodating of my vegetarian daughter. We also saw the Jewish quarter and other signs in Cordoba. At the end of the day, he brought us to Sevilla and dropped us at at our accommodations. His company wasn't actually licensed to give us a tour of the inside of the Cathedral Mosque in Cordoba, but he brought us to the front door and arranged for audio guides that let us learn about what we were seeing. I would definitely recommend. We had just flown in from the United States and were jetlagged the entire day but didn't feel tired because we were so engaged with the tour.
Tour company- 1 star. Avoid them if you can! Very disorganized and when we got to Córdoba the guide had to go get tickets for us as the company did not send anyone ahead to make the reservation. Had to wait for one hour doing nothing. They also said private tour be we ended up having to connect with another group which invalidated why we paid for a private group. Overall find another company or go at it yourself almost same experience except for the guides. Tour guides - 5 stars. Very kind and helpful. Worked very hard to make up for the disorganized cluster the tour company left them with and connected us with locals to explain more about the city and it's history. Extremely disorganized tour company, I definitely don't recommend them.
The day of our private tour was a cloudy, rainy day. While the weather was not perfect, our tour guide was!!! Guido led us through the day with great suggestions for lunch, shopping, sight seeing! It was a wonderful day!! Thank you Guido and Viator.
The guided tour to Cordoba was wonderful. Our guide Guido was punctual knowledgeable and funny. He was accommodating and professional and spoke English very well. Highly recommend.
We took a private tour to Cordoba and Carmona and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Not only did we see the main sights, but our guide was very helpful and showed us aspects of the cities that we particularly wanted to see. Easily one of the best days we had in Spain.
<p>Our Day in Cordoba was outstanding. Was jus the Out tour guide, my wife and myself, and we had a wonderful day. He arrived at our hotel on time, was extremely courteous and not only knowledgeable about every aspect of the history of Cordoba but Seville and Spain in general. Both my wife and I were very impressed with the entire day and would not have any issues doing other tours with Viator again.</p>
The wonderful guide, super attentive and very experienced I'm just for the guide I'll perform it, it's called Driss and even if it doesn't seem like it it's from Seville
The guide Veronica of the cathedral of Cordoba was very good.
Beautiful experience. The 1.5 hour bus ride is worth it all. Nice clean town and rich in history, the visit to the cathedral-mosque and 'was wonderful accompanied by a guide, VERONICA, highly prepared engaging and very nice. It made for a fascinating atmosphere with its splendid explanations , rich in pathos. Visiting time passed quickly.
It was a beautiful day. The meeting point had three stations, and they were very helpful when it came to changing the name in case you had logged on to the farthest station but arrived at the nearest. The tour was explained clearly, concisely and helpfully by Nieves, so there was no boredom. There was plenty of time for sightseeing and eating. Departure and return were on time. I was thrilled! ^-^
The city is beautiful, with beautiful monuments, I highly recommend it, we were there in July and even if it was hot, you did not perceive x nothing, being a fairly ventilated location
The tour was perfectly organized , not a single second was lost . The guide , ISNAEL was professional and also fun.
The Guide Alberto was top! Through his art studies, he knows how to tell many details about the history and the buildings. Highly recommended!
Interesting tour and very nice and knowledgeable guides about the history and art of the city of Cordoba. Also much appreciated Leon's culinary advice
Very good and competent guides Alberto and Miguel. Miguel acted as Italian interpreter even though we were the only Italians on the tour
