Be awed by the spectacular beauty of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba on a guided tour of one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Conserving the decorative style of an Islamic mosque, construction of the magnificent monument began in the 8th century. Later extensions vastly increased its size, turning it into the second biggest mosque in the world before it became a Catholic cathedral. Venture inside to discover a forest of columns and elegant double arches, and admire the ornate maqsuramihrab (apse) along with other decorative highlights. Be led by an official guide to build a full picture of this landmark building. Your tour includes Tickets, audio guide and taxes. Please review the dress considerations outlined in the cathedral's access policy. No tank tops, shorts or flip-flops may be worn indoors.

We found this a really good tour, our tour guide Enrique was very clear and broke down all the information so that we came away understanding the compelling history of this fantastic monument, which added to visual grandness that we experienced.

Our tour guide was just average at best. Only covered the main parts. Not the most engaging , but he did have a good understanding of the history. We did not know that the group tour tickets does not allow us to stay in the mesquita after the tour ended, leaving us less than 5 minutes to take photos and explore the non covered areas. Tour also started 20 minutes late and ended in an hour. I would recommend getting individual tickets and reading up about the mesquita yourself, leaving a lot more time to see the place.

Very informative tour, with good flow despite the crowds. The sounds was not always as good in the audio system. Very knowledgeable guide.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories and perspectives of the Alcazar. She also spoke very clear English. I accidentally booked the tour in Spanish and realized it the night before. I sent a message to the tour company directly and they took care of moving us to an English one. Flawless and helpful.

Wonderful Mosque-Cathedral. The guide was knowledgeable however there were times where we held in one place too long listening to her rather that walking around and seeing more things.

Our guide was very good, knew her material and lots of time to take pictures and enjoy the mosque/cathedral

Fascinating and informative adventure around the architectural history of this beautiful building, in unusually high September temperatures with boiling sunshine outside. The building was an unexpected gem of shelter from the weather, with a spotlight on how the Christian treated the Muslims back in the day. Didn’t end well.

Super informative and interesting tour. Added so much more context to this sight than if we visited it alone. Highly recommended!
