Bring your imagination...
Bring your imagination and do your research beforehand to really appreciate. It is a very interesting excursion to understand the importance of the Moorish presence.

Impressive fortified city-palace from the 900's, partially excavated
A wonderful tour guide. She is clear, patient, interesting. There were some difficulties with young children, nobody's fault, she handled it well. There is a lot of walking, including stairs, she paced the tour. At the entry center, a 15-minute film, plus some some food, before a bus to the actual site. A lot is included for the price. I did not see acoustiguide material, you need a guide.

Excellent trip, excellent guide
My wife and I very much enjoyed the tour. All the logistics were well-handled: Cristina met us at the designated location (at the Mosque-Cathedral) and got us all in the taxi she pre-arranged for the trip to the site. Her commentary at the site was both interesting and entertaining. The pre-arranged taxi was waiting for us at the site at the end and took us all back directly to the area where our apartment was.

Medina Azahara, a fascinating archaeological site.
We had a great trip to Medina Azahara. It is a fascinating place with an incredible history. The guide was excellent and spoke knowledgeably and with real passion about the site.
I would definitely recommend this trip.

Amazing tour
I took this tour with Helena. It was a great tour! She gave so much information about the site, answered every question I had, and had helpful recommendations. The site itself is incredible and 100% worth seeing. The remains are amazing.

Great experience
Antonio was an amazing guide and had plenty of information to share about this beautiful place. It was my first time doing a private tour and it felt so much more personalized than the small group tours I am used to. Would recommend!

Great day In Cordoba
Paco was so informative, patient and knowledgeable. I thought 6 hours would be too long and we'd end up cutting the tour short (we all have some ADD in my family) ... but no, we were enthralled the entire time. Awesome story teller and a real credit to you.

Great Private Tour
My wife and I did a private tour with Alberto. We are both interested in ancient history and the story behind Medina-Azahara is truly fascinating. Though pricy, I don't think we would have enjoyed the site nearly as much without Alberto and the insight he brought. And, by going private we arrived well before the larger tour groups swarmed in at mid-morning.

Highly recommended!
A must see when in Cordoba! We were so lucky with the weather and the most knowledgeable guide (who speaks spanish, french, italian, english and ancient greek?!!). It takes a lot of imagination to reconstruct the ruins but with our guides help it came back alive!
