Your tour of Cordoba begins with a visit to the Catholic cathedral, converted from a mosque when the Christians conquered Cordoba in 1236. With nearly 1,000 pillars, the cathedral's original Gothic architecture is combined with Baroque and Renaissance elements. You'll see the remarkable Cardinal's Chapel and its treasures, including an ivory crucifix and important sculptures and paintings.
Next, you'll visit the old Jewish quarter, stepping back in time to the era of the Romans and Goths. You will see one of the few synagogues existing today in Spain, built in 1315, as well as many important monuments to Cordoba's most important sons, including the Roman philosopher Seneca, Arabian philosopher Averroes and the Jewish philosopher Maimonides.

Ana was a wonderful guide for our city tour, an information filled 3 hours. She was able to answer all our questions and direct us to restaurants for lunch afterward.

good guide and driver comfortable experience clear explanations overall a very worthwhile day!

This was expensive but there were four of us, with two having been to Cordoba twice in prior years. We wanted the others to share the experience we had had. I didn't make the booking until the day before which caused a bit of on again off again due to Australia confirming the booking but Grandad not knowing anything about it. Things worked out! There were only the four of us transported by a private vehicle to Cordoba and then we saw firstly the beautiful gardens, Jardines del Alcazar, and the Jewish quarter, that we hadn't previously seen and then on to the Mosque/ Cathedral. A wonderful day enjoyed by all.

The driver was extremely friendly and made the journey to Cordoba unforgettable by sharing lots of information about the destinations and places. The tour guide was friendly and provided all the necessary details we would want to know about the place.

Driver was amazing, Tour guide extremely knowledgeable and attentive

Cordoba is do-able from Granada, and definitely worth visiting, especially the mosque-cathedral. Viator driver and local guide in Cordoba both excellent: knowledgeable and courteous. Recommended.

nothing could be better than this the guide was so good her name was maria and the driver michal who made us feel comfortable

Was a little disappointed with the tour in that it did not last as long as the itinerary had stated. The driver took a little longer to arrive in Cordoba (3 hours in total) than expected, but took the more historical route on the way there. We stopped off at an interesting little shop on the way which sold various products made from the local olive groves. Although we enjoyed the tours of the main sites, the guide was very friendly & enthusiastic. I would have appreciated being able to see other parts of the very pretty city of Cordoba with the time we had to spare. We arrived back at our hotel at around 6pm. I also felt the overall price for the tour was a little excessive.

Cordoba was a must see. The history is fabulous. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. We could not be more pleased.
