It was a good organized guided tour, even though sometimes it was just too much information. The sun is tiring there, and there is no cafetería. Bring your own water, for children no food allowed. They got already desperate. A lot of people, sun...but it was worth it. Something you must see!

El tour esta muy bien. Te reciben en la plaza cruz roja y de ahí sale el bus a medina azahara a 15 minutos de viaje. Luego miran el museo, de la recepción, se dejan las cosas en consigna, van al baño y salen en un segundo bus a la parte más alta del recinto arqueológico. De ahí, se recorre la parte abierta al público con Buenas explicaciones. La verdad no vale la pena ir sin guía. Así que recomiendo el tour. El precio del tour completo es adecuado ya que haciéndolo por separado, sale al mismo precio. (9 euros del bus desde córdoba + 3 euros del bus lanzadera + 1.5 de la entrada + 17 euros por persona del guía). El tour es muy bueno pero solo si tienes buen tiempo en córdoba, al menos 3 días, ya que la ciudad tiene más cosas en que entretenerse.

Nos gustó mucho, muy buena información sobre el tour, gracias a los aparatos que facilitó se podía seguir sin ningún problema en todo momento toda explicación aunque no hacía casi falta ya que tiene un buen tono de voz y está atento de todos en todo momento. Buen guía. Recomendable.
