The tour was great, a lot of history and we had the most amazing english tour guide. She was so funny and made everything so interesting, even for the kids.

Fantastic tour of these amazing sites!

Pete_H, Nov 2024
Paki was in incredible guide to see these amazing sites in Cordoba! Might be my favorite tour of our 10 days in Spain. She was a very knowledgeable guide and a true historian about the subject matter. In addition, Paki presented it all with a lot of humor, which helps since a 4 hour tour could get to be an information overload or boring if presented dryly as only a set of historical facts. Instead, she interjected stories and humor to make it all super interesting!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that your experience in Córdoba was a highlight of your 10 days in Spain. At Konexion Tours, we pride ourselves on ensuring every detail is handled with care, and we know our guides are exceptional professionals who bring each site to life. Paki’s expertise, humor, and storytelling made a 4-hour tour fly by, making the history fascinating rather than overwhelming. We hope you had a pleasant journey back and encourage you to share your experience with friends who might be inspired to explore Córdoba with us. Should you need any further information or assistance regarding Andalucía or any other part of Spain, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Excellent.

Tour guide - Uninterested in our experience

Donna_C, Sep 2024
Isabella our guide must have had an off day. 1. She didn't introduce herself - there were only 4 in our entire tour. 2. She seemed very uninterested in the groups experience, she was just going through the motions. She kept saying I'll tell you later - well later never came 3. When we did ask questions she was 10 feet ahead of us and didn't hear us most of the time. 4. We rushed to the Mosque just to wait for another group of 6 to meet up with our group to continue the tour. 5. She then repeated 30% of what she told us b4 combining goups. Thankfully the Mosque was so beautiful it made up for the unfortunate experience we had with Isabella. I would book another tour if I knew uninterested she was in her job.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I was present during this tour as part of the staff, and I can assure you that Isabella did introduce herself to the group, and the pace of the tour was designed to be leisurely, allowing time for stops at key points where she provided detailed explanations about the rich history of the Jewish Quarter. Regarding the questions about the Mosque, they were addressed later because they were asked while the group was still in the Alcázar or in another place, and Isabella assured everyone that these details would be covered when we arrived at that part of the tour. We understand that every client has their own preferences, and we aim to adapt as much as possible to everyone's needs. The additional small group that joined us at the Mosque were spontaneous visitors, and since the original group was very small, we welcomed them in a spirit of inclusivity. These guests were very appreciative of the tour, expressing their satisfaction and even tipping Isabella for her excellent guidance. We are proud of the high level of satisfaction we consistently achieve, and your feedback helps us maintain our commitment to excellence. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. Wishing you all the best.

Enjoyed the small group...

Lori_C, Jul 2024
Enjoyed the small group structure & had two guides - both were excellent. The tie was an hour too long for my attention span- 4 hours total. I wish I had booked the Mezquita seperstely to do the history justice. I ended up pairing off with our daughter to see it on our own after too much information overload of 3 hours prior. My husband loved the Mezqita tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the small group structure and found our guide excellent. We understand that four 3:5 can seem long, but this duration is designed to provide a comprehensive experience of the rich history and intricate details of the Mezquita and surrounding sites. It's wonderful that your husband loved the Mezquita tour, and we're glad you were able to explore it with your daughter as well. We appreciate your comments and look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future.

Enthralling!

Chandrajit_S, Jun 2024
Our guide Paqui was brilliant. The best that i have had the privelige to interact with during all the tours taken by me in Valencia, Alhambra or Seville, Cordoba. Her extensive knowledge, the wealth of information and her ability to communicate and keep us engrossed for over 4 hours was remarkable. I highly recommend the tour for all visitors to Cordoba, truly interested in unravelling its unique history! THANK YOU!.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Robin_P, Jun 2024
This Mosque is the most impressive thing I saw while in Spain. It's old and beautiful. Don't miss it if you enjoy history.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We completely agree – the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is truly one of the most impressive and fascinating monuments, not only in Spain but in the world. Its rich history and stunning architecture make it a must-see for any history enthusiast. We're glad you enjoyed your visit.

Best guided tour and amazing visit

Bing_H, Jun 2024
It was the best guided tour of all the ones we had in Southern Spain (we did at least one in every city/historical site). Paki was an excellent story teller and her passion in history came through throughout the tour. It was fascinating how history developed and repeated itself in different times and places, and Paki’s humorous interpretation made it a very enjoyable experience. The places we visited on the tour were among the most amazing in Europe.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found our tour to be the best among all your guided tours in Spain.

It's great to know that her humorous interpretation added to your enjoyment and made the historical connections fascinating. We agree that the places visited on the tour are some of the most amazing in the world. We appreciate your kind words.

Excellent.

Iram_A, May 2024
Our trip was today, 31.5.2024 at 13:00-3:30. It's 38C today. Super hot. I was dreading this trip with my 9yr old daughter. However, despite the heat the tour was amazing. Most of the tour was indoors,which helped. The architecture of these buildings helped in the cooler indoors. The tour guide was very educated in the history of this place. A true historian. It helped in keeping things interesting. My daughter is sitting next to me,and wants me to let you all know,that this trip is highly recommended....I agree.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that, despite the weather, you and your daughter had an amazing tour. It's great to know that most of the tour being indoors helped you stay cooler, and that the architecture of the buildings contributed to a more comfortable experience. We're thrilled that our guide's extensive knowledge and passion for history kept things interesting for you both. Your daughter's recommendation means a lot to us, and we agree wholeheartedly. Thank you for recommending our tour!

Must do!

Amy_B, May 2024
Fantastic tour with so much history. Enjoyed that when the tour ended we were able to say in the catherldral to explore more on our own. Absolutely beautiful!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the rich history it offered. We're glad you appreciated the opportunity to explore the cathedral on your own after the tour ended. It truly is a beautiful and remarkable place.

3 hour Cordoba Tour

Amit_S, May 2024
Our guide, Carmen, was very knowledgeable and managed the tour very well. It was a pleasure to learn about the history of Cordoba from her. Highly recommend this tour.

Diane_M, May 2024
We had an amazing knowledgeable tour guide, Pica? (not sure on spelling) Was just the right amount of time in each area. If in Cordoba these sites are a must

Disappointing

Martin_R, May 2024
Although the sites are worth seeing, especially the Alcázar gardens and the Mosque Cathedral, this small group tour was poorly organized and one of the guide’s English was not up to the task. We arrived at 10:30 but the entrance tickets for the Alcázar were at 11:00, so we had to wait. At this time there were 7 of us in the group. Once we got in, the guide, whose English was very hard to understand, spent too much time in the first few rooms, then rushed us through the gardens because she had a deadline to pick up 4 more people before we entered the Jewish Quarter. Then before entering the Mosque-Cathedral we had to wait while they added 4 more to the group, then wait for new guide (who was excellent) to arrive. So the 4 hour tour included 1 hour of waiting to access sites or integrate new tourists. I would recommend the itinerary but not this company.

Amazing location but better off without the tour

Nicole_C, May 2024
Overall the experience was of the location was worth the effort but the tour guides were unprepared and failed to have their tickets in order which meant not being on time by an hour of additional waiting despite having reservations planned around our schedule so we missed out on a lot and our guide was in English but we she barely could translate properly and the skip the line concept did not matter unlike other tours

The tour guide makes all the difference.

Carol_H, May 2024
Unfortunately our tour guide for Alcázar and the Jewish quarter struggled to give the tour in English and consequently we did not get many details and historical info for these sites. Our second guide, who took us through the Mosque, spoke excellent English and this made this part of the tour informative and interesting.

Great Experience

Jennie_S, May 2024
It was a must seen experience. Very impressive to see the different sites. The Alcazar, the Synagogue and the Mosque Cathedral

Excellent Tour in Cordoba

William_A, Apr 2024
Our guide was excellent and had a wonderful sense of humòr. She was also very knowledgeable about the history of Cordoba, the Alcazar and the Cathederal/Mosque. We saw everythjng we wanted to see and never felt rushed. Our guide made the tour very special and her English, Spanish and French were excellent.

Paki knows her stuff

Rich_E, Apr 2024
Really great guide for this three and a half hour tour. She gave us historical overview and contacts for what we were seeing. She "read the room" and scaled back on the names and dates when it was a little too much for some. She told the stories that made the great works human and personal. Then she casually pointed out an Old Town manor house and told the story of the family that built it. It happened to include the Airbnb apartment where we were staying. Well, what more can you ask for? Been traveling in the south of Spain for 2 months and this was our best guide experience.

Intensive tour to cover all the sights

Annamaria_V, Apr 2024
Despite the unexpectedly horrendous weather we enjoyed the tour very much. Carmen was helpful and knowledgeable, provided just the right amount of information. The group size, pacing and the order of the sights was great, and the audio devices were very useful to listen to the tour guide even from a little further away. After the Alcazar some more people joined our group for the rest of the tour, here we lost some time as we had to wait for late arrivals but it wasn't more then 10 mins so it wasn't a huge issue. Finishing at the Mosque allowed people to stay and spend some more time there if they wanted to. The tour was absolutely worth it, we've learned so much more about the history and life in Cordoba than we would've just by visiting by ourselves.

Excellent tour

Valerie_N, Apr 2024
Paki was very knowledgeable and related to all members in our group. She humanized the tour and explained things clearly so everyone could u distant why things were done.

So much learned about Córdoba

Kristen_E, Mar 2024
How do you enjoy your tour of the great sites of Cordoba while it is absolutely pouring and you’re soaked? Answer: You must have Carmen as your tour guide. We were so wet, cold and our college age child rather sick, but we’d booked the tour (difficult during Semana Santa) and we were committed. Truly, we enjoyed it so much and learned so much. Carmen is VERY knowledgeable, good at moving people at a nice pace and so kind to all in our group, including a couple pushing and using a wheelchair over the narrow, cobbled roads. We definitely got our money’s worth and highly recommend it, perhaps on a drier day.

Excellent tour guide

emrikianani, Mar 2024
Guide is excellent! She was very knowledgeable. Tour was fantastic. Wish we had free time in the gardens. May be able to save 10-15 min if the listening device is passed while in line to enter vs in advance of the entry line.

In-depth tour. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Maria_W, Jan 2024
In-depth tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and had a lot of detail to share. Started on time and the meeting spot was easily found. Enjoyed it very much.
