Your experience

Delve into the Glorious Past of Córdoba

Experience the multicultural tapestry of history and art in the remarkable city of Córdoba on this 2.5-hour guided tour. Commence your journey with an expert guide within the grandeur of the Mosque-Cathedral, a beacon of Umayyad-Andalusia period. Once a Visigothic church, this UNESCO World Heritage Site underwent a metamorphosis into a mosque, eventually culminating in a cathedral. Witness expansions made by 4 different caliphs, each determined to leave his indelible mark on history. Traverse across a sea of 850 columns, made with jasper, onyx, marble, and granite.

From Majestic Columns to Serene Gardens

The second half of your tour transports you to the picturesque Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, having started as a Roman stronghold, transforming into a Visigothic Palace, and then evolving to its current form as a fortress. It was within these fortified walls that Christopher Columbus first proposed his exploring plans to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.

As you tread through the enchanting gardens adorned with serene fountains and meticulously manicured hedges, possibly one of the most photographed facets of the city, your guide will paint vivid stories of the famous fortress and its part in global history. Ensuring an enriching experience for larger groups, radio guides are provided so no nugget of information is lost in the crowd.
