    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).

    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!!!!

    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.

    Unique building
    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

    Mentally exhausting
    This tour was mentally exhausting. The tour guide provided excessive but unnecessary historical details, but rarely any time for taking photos. Does the guide realize that most people are not going to remember most of those details but they wish they had taken a couple of more photos to share with friends/family or recollect the memories few years down the line?

    Gardens and meeting of cultures
    Evening visit to the cathedral mosque. It's huge! Alcazar was interesting. Beautiful gardens. Be careful though as there are trip hazards. Lots of plants that are familiar. Scented wall flowers, roses etc.

    Lovely afternoon, shame about the queues.
    Lovely patios, which gave us lots of ideas for our own garden. The guide was very informative about the background as to how it all started.But lots of queuing, and after a while they did start to look the same. We went back the following day to some of the ones we missed.

    Not to be missed when in Cordova during the festival of patios
    Samuel not only showed us the best patio in the neighbourhood, but he also showed us some places not to miss in the vicinity like Julio Romero Torres’s studio. He gaves lot of context and history about the festival of patios. The pictures that I took don’t even give enough justice to the beauty of those patio. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in town during that festival.

    Too much queuing
    The patios were nice but there is too much time queuing. Approximately 5-10 mins in each of four patios over a two hour tour. The guide, Krisztina was lovely and very knowledgeable. It was good to hear the information she provided but I feel that there are way too many people trying to get into small spaces at the same time. Too many tickets being sold

    Patio tou
    The Guide was very knowledgeable. The patios were beautiful. The only drawback was there was a lot of waiting in lines with quick view of patios. This was the week of the Patio competition.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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
