    Highly recommended Cordoba tour
    The tour was marvellous. The tour company “Oway” are very organised, helpful and punctual. I can say honestly say that this is all what you want to do and see in Cordoba in 3 hours visiting all the touristic areas in a very comfortable pace and the price is very reasonable. The tour guide “Askara” was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, organised and funny. She gave us a brief introduction about each place before we enter it then detailed explanations of each area during the visit. She was very professional and pleasant and answered all the questions from the group. She was also very thoughtful and made sure that we stayed in shaded areas during her explanations because it was very hot and sunny. The city itself is very cosy and clean. The touristic area is well maintained and organised. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to anyone going to Cordoba.

    Very detailed tour … we loved the gardens, Mosque and Cathedral…breathtaking.
    A lot of history is shared. The gardens were AMAZING. So is the Mosque and Cathedral. Very detailed tour … we had one guide for the first half and a second guide for the last. Used audio guides which worked well.

    Lovely city with many attractions
    We got our own tickets but all areas are well worth seeing. The Mosque Cathedral is outstanding example of Muslim and Catholic religions working together . The courtyards we saw were so very pretty. Cordoba although quiet in the day we visited is a lovely city.Dont forget the Roman Bridge

    OWAY is excellent for Cordoba's Jewish Quarter and Mosque-Cathderal tour
    We have 2 strong accolades for OWAY tour. First, I accidentally booked on the wrong date. When I didn't show, the company contacted me (2 months before being in Spain) and worked with me to rebook. They did not charge me, the simply rebooked and sent me the new reservation. I was profoundly grateful. As for the tour, Joaquin was excellent! He was informative and engaging. We did the Jewish Quarter and the Mosque-Cathedral. We're jewish and we found him to be very knowledgable about jewish customs so we felt reallyl confident in the history he shared. Also, the Mosque-Cathedral was absolutely astonishing and he made the time in their very interesting. We went to Cordoba as a day trip from Seville for this tour. It was absolutely worthwhile and OWAY was a great tour company.

    Beautiful but chaotic
    I’d definitely recommend getting access to the patios, they are beautiful! The tour guide gave some great context and background to the tradition. The only issue is that the tour is somewhat chaotic since there are many other groups going to the patios at the same time. Be prepared for the tour to go a little long and do some waiting (this was not the guides fault, just the nature of this experience).

    Anti-semitic white-washing of the past.
    Let's call this what it was: An antisemitic re-telling of the past. We took this tour with Samuel two weeks ago in Cordoba. We were so excited to learn about all 3 major cultures in Cordoba's prime. We were taken to the famous statue of Maimonides, where Samuel explained to us that after living in Cordoba Maimonides decided to "self-exile" himself to Egypt. WHAT? Maimonides, along with the rest of the Jewish community were offered conversion, death, or exile. Does this sound like a choice to anyone? It's a dangerous white-washing of history to position the persecution of Jews as a choice. When I spoke up and told Samuel this was an offensive and dangerous term (and a paradox on its face) he argued with me, that I should be open to "another idea" about what happened. "Another idea" that retells persecution as just a life choice, really. Alternative facts, much? We were also told that Maimonides, due to his crazy ideas, was known as the "Demon of Cordoba" at the time. We all looked at each other like, what?? A scholar and intellectual without any power was somehow known widely as a demon? Some quick googling after shows that the man known as the "Demon of Cordoba" was in fact Al-Hakam II, Caliph of Córdoba from 961 to 976 who was known for his ruthlessness with his enemies. I guess it's somehow easy to mistake the Jew for the demon? But that's not all folks! We were shown a small inscription in the concrete that intermingles two Hebrew words, 'Spain' and 'Remember' and told this is symbol that the Jews used that sort of looks like a map. I told Sam that this actually Hebrew writing of two words (I read Hebrew fluently) -- no, no, he argued with me (?) - it's a symbol! Okay. Got the picture. Jewish history is what you say it is and there's no openness to contending with facts or the distortion of the story you are telling. Let's call this by its name shall we? An antisemitic tour.

    Great Experience
    My wife and I took this tour on our trip to Córdoba and would highly recommend. The company provided an easily located meeting location that was right next to an air conditioned restaurant and facility with large clean restrooms, both were essential as Córdoba is generally very warm. Our guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Some general advice regarding the tour, as mentioned Córdoba can be very warm, the day we were there it was 97 F, so plan accordingly, sunscreen and hydration are essential. There are limited opportunities to purchase water along the route and we would recommend packing your own. While the overall walking distance is not great, and generally flat, the path can be a little challenging, specifically in the Jewish quarter.

    Engaging fun tour with local guide Ruth
    We did a walking tour of the old town. Our guide Ruth was so wonderful! Her pride and love for her city was so genuine, it really made the tour. Her stories were personalized in very encouraging way. Not a boring recitation of historical dates!!!! A lovely sense of humor. Thank you Ruth!!!!

    Great sites but marred by poor electronics
    The sites included in the full tour are all exceptionally interesting and beautiful. The tour guide, Azahara, was extremely knowledgeable and patient. HOWEVER, the tour was marred by poor electronics. The mic and receivers and cheap earbuds garbled the commentary with noisy interference, most severely in the mosque. I understood no more than 10% of Azahara’s commentary. At other sites, the problems lessened but only slightly. I would recommend that visitors bring their own high quality ear buds or headphones (as long as they connect with a mini-plug).

    Really great guides made this an excellent trip
    Both guides were excellent - really informative and also very responsive to questions. The audio guides worked really well even in crowded locations with other tours nearby. The tour covered most of the key sights of Cordoba but it was a long tour - a full four hours

    must-see in Cordoba
    The English language guide spoke very clearly, had a solid grasp of the many centuries of history of this amazing place – am quite sure that the guides in other languages would be equally good, having seen the tours they were conducting at the same time as ours

    A good experience
    A good tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide who explained the history of the mosque cathedral in great detail. The mosque/cathedral is definitely a must do and the tour was well organised.

Amazing building, different from other cathedrals, the mix of Moorish architecture with the later conversion to a cathedral makes it something special. A lot more pared back in decoration leaving the repeating tows of arches to stand out.

Tickets from the official website were only 13 Euros and an audio guide about 4, seem to be a lot of higher prices floating around. Arrived about 20 minutes ahead of pre-booked time but allowed straight in - there wasn't a big queue for tickets either (but don't mention the loos). Maybe we were lucky, but unlike the Seville sights the entrance queues were short

Because I love Moorish architecture, I was blown away. Our tour guide was outstanding. I really enjoyed how he explained everything from a chronological perspective and included the differences in the belief structures along with the history. I highly recommend this tour company.

It’s an amazing place. Is a must visit. To see a Cathedral built inside a mosque has to be unique. The history of this place needs telling. But was too detailed for me and the guide though very knowledgeable was difficult to follow as spoke English with a very heavy accent. An hour would be long enough

This tour should be broken into two groups of people....the people who want the highlights and the people who want allllllll the details. Half the group was done and many were taking off headsets and just leaving halfway through and the other half were standing next to the guide and asking tons and tons of questions. It was clear there should have been two groups of tours. The tour guide was knowledgeable, and the info given was great but after a while it was just toooo much, especially for a 12 year old and teen girls. We took the tour so we could see the inside and get some history of it but at times we stood in the same place for 15 mins going into great details and out of 20 people maybe 2 were still listening while the rest walked around taking pics.
I do not recommend this tour for kids under 14.

This is an example of two cultures Co-existing. An old Mosque was consecrated into the catherdal of Santa Maria. Mass is still held here daily since 1236. Amazing. This has been a National monument since 1882.
