7.Cordoba & Carmona with Mezquita, Synagoge & Patios from Seville

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,126 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $119

Transport, entrance fees, and an English-speaking guide are included, though group size and guide quality can vary.

“A beautiful trip with balanced amounts of guide-based touring and self-guided exploration. While there were technological issues with the earpieces, this did not prevent Rebeca from still being able to deliver information to the group successfully and clearly. The only disadvantage, and this is minor, was that this was a three-language group and so at times one group had to wait for several minutes while other groups received their information and instructions, costing that group time where they could be exploring. It is understood with these tours that that can happen; still, wherever possible, I would limit groups to two languages for better efficiency.”

The latter was in place of the Alcazar, which was closed for restoration. Our guide, Azara, was an extremely knowledgeable young woman from Cordoba.

She had deep knowledge of the history, architecture, and culture of the sites we visited, and she was able to field every question we had, again, with very deep knowledge.
