The tour is well organized from pick up to the place. We are on small van and not too many people. Our tour guide at the Mosque is very knowledgeable. Jose Carlos our guide prior to Mosque-Cathedral is very helpful and we are picked up on time. I will recommend your tour. Thank you.

I'm not rating this tour, but another one which I've been offered to join as I was the only one who booked a tour for Cordoba that day. I must say I was extremely happy with how the company handled it, and since I had a limited time in Sevilla, I was over the moon they offered me another tour as replacement. The tour I went on was magical, really well organized and fun! What a great discovery. I'm very grateful for this gesture, thanks again for letting me explore Andalucia, it is such a magnificent region !

The day a very well planned, it doesn’t feel rushed and I did not expect to stop over at Carmona - the view was breathtaking. Miguel is very knowledgeable and very entertaining and the driver Manuel is so lovely. I wish we could have more time in the mosque-cathedral but I think I’ll need at least a full day in there! I really enjoyed the trip!
