Cordoba Mezquita & Old City: An Unforgettable Granada Day Trip

Our Driver and Guide Gonzalo was very nice and well informed. He showed us around beautiful spots and his Restaurant recommendation was spot on. The tour inside the mosque also was good, just the reception of the Audioguides made it hard to understand Maria, our guide. But the Mosque/ Cathedral made it a once in a lifetime experience!

I took a day trip from Granada to Córdoba to visit the Mezquita, and it was a wonderful experience. The travel was super smooth and comfortable, and our driver Carlos was extremely helpful and dedicated to showing us around. He went out of his way to help us plan our time in Córdoba so we could make the most of it, even with a tight schedule. This trip is ideal for anyone visiting Spain who doesn’t have much time to spend a night in Córdoba and appreciate Andalusian culture, especially if you're coming from faraway places. The Mezquita is an absolute must-see, truly stunning, and worth it.

I really liked it. A very comfortable journey and wonderful guides. I really recommend this tour. There is enough time for a quick sightseeing.

We really enjoyed our day in Cordoba. We were a small group, just 2 couples. The journey there was very smooth, a fast road, and comfortable transport. Gonzalo is an excellent guide, with good English, and is very knowledgeable and makes the tours fun. He showed us round some beautiful parts of the old centre, including private “patios” (courtyards in people’s homes) and the Jewish quarter, before taking us to the Mezquita where we were met by an official guide for a tour. Afterwards, we had a bit of free time for lunch and a wander, including the stunning Roman bridge and river area. Nothing is too much trouble for Gonzalo. He showed us a few restaurants for the best tapas etc. And he kindly dropped us off at the station for our fast train to Malaga , at the end of the tour. Thoroughly recommend this tour, as well as the Alpujarras day tour.

Cordoba and the Mosque were just breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Carlos, our driver from Granada to Cordoba was friendly and kind. I thought that we would be having a tour of the mosque with Carlos in our small group, but we were instead joined up with another, much larger, tour group at the mosque. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I do, however, think the price of this visit was too high, as it was only the transport that was catered for us. The actual mosque tour was with another guide and we only had 1.5 hours of free time to explore Cordoba after the mosque tour, which we did on our own, rather than as a tour with Carlos.

The guide was very informative and explained a summary of 2000 years worth of history in an hour. She was professional and did not seem rushed.

We visited the Mosque in Cordoba, what a beautiful place. Our trip was made more beautiful and exciting because of our tour guide “Gonzalo” he is knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.

The trip was memorable. Our driver Gonzalo was excellent and made our day. The Mosque complex was breathtaking in its grandeur. The tour guide at the mosque was average. He knew his facts but kept repeating himself and this made his talk boring and uninteresting.However we were happy with overall experience

Jose was a great guide. He made the whole day informative, easy, and entertaining. Truly a magnificent mosque/cathedral with fascinating architecture and history. We recommend El Caballo Rojo for those looking for good food in Cordoba.

So glad that we included this in our trip to Andalusia. Cordoba is absolutely not to be missed - such an important part of the history Spain's Muslim heritage and the reconquest. Our guide Gonzalo was wonderful - knowledgeable, helpful, and good hearted. The trip to the Mosque/church was absolutely the highlight! And the walk through the patios, the Jewish Quarter, and other sites was also lovely!
