This was a fantastic tour! The old Jewish quarter was enlightening and informative. The walk was perfect in length and we had a 15 minute break before going into the Cathedral. The tour inside the Cathedral was over the top with sights and history. I highly recommend visiting.

Visit the marketplace, once a souk, then head to the Mezquita (Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba), one of the most-visited monuments in Spain, for your guided tour through the 8th-century religious building.

Learn about the complex history of this site from your guide as you walk through its forest of striped horseshoe arches, admire the ornate decorations of the mihrab (prayer niche), and inspect later Christian additions.

Fantastic tour in Cordoba!

Ashley_M, Jul 2026

This was a fantastic tour. It was organized, the headsets were great (had your own volume so you could adjust the sound). The guide was fantastic! Her English was great, and she was engaging and interesting. You spend an hour walking around the Jewish quarter - it was beautiful. Our guise kept us in the shade which was very helpful in 105 degree temps. We didn’t stay in any place too long, which was nice. It was informative and interesting. We had 15 minutes between the Jewish quarter (all outdoors) and before we entered the mosque/cathedral. We were able to grab a Starbucks iced coffee, use the restroom and sit for a bit. The guide went and picked up some additional tour guests and we went inside the mosque/cathedral. Women must cover their shoulders, men remove hats - as with most religious buildings in Spain. Men & boys could wear shorts and sandals were fine as well. The tour inside was lovely and then time at the end to explore on our own. This was one of the most organized and best led tours we have had. I cannot remember the guides name - but she was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly and kind. She wore a Taylor Swift Eras T-shirt, which my teen girls loved. Really top notch tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the Jewish Quarter and the Mosque-Cathedral tour. It’s fantastic to know that our guide made the experience engaging, comfortable despite the heat, and memorable for your family. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her—especially the mention of the Taylor Swift Eras T-shirt! 😊 We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another tour in Spain. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Great experience

Katarzyna_M, Jun 2026

The Mosque is stunning and exceptionally interesting historically. The synagogue was also very special. Christina, Our guide was very knowledgeable, focused and serious. She gave us extra tips about restaurants and other sites worth visiting. Thank you so much!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted that you enjoyed the tour and that Cristina's knowledge and recommendations enhanced your visit. She'll be very happy to know her efforts were appreciated. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again! Best Regards, OWAY Tours

Excellent Overview of Cordoba’s Culture!

Michelle_H, Jun 2026

Great history about the Jewish, Moslem and Christian history of the city! Our guide Cristina was fantastic and was extremely knowledgeable! I would thoroughly recommend this tour!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about Córdoba’s fascinating Jewish, Muslim and Christian heritage.

Cordoba Mosque & Jewish Quarter

Tasneem_A, Jun 2026

Our guide was very knowledgeable, spoke well and able to answer questions. We travelled in June where the tourist traffic is high - so sometimes it gets difficult to take pictures with the crowd around and we have to be quick as there’s not enough time to take pictures.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the tour and that your guide was able to answer your questions and share Córdoba's fascinating history. June is certainly a busy time to visit, but we're glad you were able to enjoy the experience despite the crowds. We hope to welcome you back again! Best Regards, The OWAY Tours Team 💙

Beware of required dress code maybe??

Lannie_B, Jun 2026

The company should be posting what the dress code is first and foremost. My husband and I almost missed our tour as you had to dig into the information to see that there was a dress code. However upon arriving in our changed clothing there were others doing the tour that were inappropriately dressed (according to the requirements on the site) including the tour guide that still were on the tour. People had on flip flops, shorts and tank tops for this tour! So what is it? Can you wear whatever you want or is there a dress code. This needs to be sorted out on your website.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear there was some confusion regarding the dress code. The Cathedral-Mosque is an active place of worship, and the dress requirements are established by the monument itself, not by our company. This information is included in the booking details provided before the tour, as well as in the confirmation sent after booking, so that guests can prepare in advance. We understand it can sometimes be overlooked, and we appreciate your comments as they remind us how important it is to make this information as visible as possible. We're glad you were ultimately able to join the tour, and we hope you enjoyed discovering this extraordinary monument. Best Regards, The OWAY Tours Team

Great Tour

Philip_J, Jun 2026

We only had a day here and this tour enabled us to see and learn so much. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that our tour allowed you to make the most of your day in Córdoba. It's great to hear that you enjoyed learning about the city's history and that your guide made the experience so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Best regards, The OWAY Tours Team 💙

Excellent tour

Kelly_M, Jun 2026

Very good tour covering the Jewish Quater and Cathedral / Mosque. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. There was a lot to take in. The only thing they would have been nice would have been 10 - 15 minutes to wonder and take photos or sit in the Cathedral at the end.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased that you enjoyed exploring the Jewish Quarter and the Mosque-Cathedral with us, and that you found your guide knowledgeable and friendly. We also appreciate your suggestion about having a little extra time inside the Mosque-Cathedral at the end of the visit. We understand how valuable those moments can be for taking photos or simply enjoying the atmosphere, and we'll certainly take your feedback into account as we continue improving our tours. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Best regards, The OWAY Tours Team 💙

Jose is an excellent guide

Sabine_M, Jun 2026

Jose's tour of the Mosque / Cathedral in Cordoba was excellent. Well paced and very informative. Jose was easy to understand, calm and kind. Can highly recommend this tour and guide. The Jewish Quarter tour was also good, lots of content. The guide Paloma (?) was very good too, and she did a great job navigating our pretty large group of 27 people through the tight and busy lanes. However, with her Spanish accent she was a bit harder to understand.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both tours and that José's visit to the Mosque-Cathedral was informative, well-paced and enjoyable. We will also pass your kind words on to Paloma, who always does a fantastic job managing larger groups through the narrow streets of the Jewish Quarter. Regarding the accent, our guides are local official guides from Spain and while they speak English fluently, a slight local accent can sometimes be noticeable. Thank you for recommending the experience. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

Great location, helpful staff, pleasant space

Paula_T, May 2026

Very attractive public area, with spacious shared bedroom space. Lockers are too small for check-on luggage, my lown ocks did not fit, bur I trusted roommates and all was well. This is my second such experience with little secure luggage area, plus the hostel states they are not responsible for lost items. Lockers need to be larger, with fitting locks available to purchase!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Paula, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. However, it appears that your comments refer to accommodation facilities and hostel services rather than any tour operated by OWAY Tours. We believe this review may have been posted on the wrong listing. If you actually participated in one of our tours, we would be happy to hear more about your experience. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

A necessary tour

Elizabeth_A, May 2026

Jose did a good job giving us history and truly a good way to see the Cathedral/Mosque. The only negative was that the group was large, when we signed up for a small group,

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed José's explanations and that the tour helped you better understand the history of the Mosque-Cathedral. Regarding the group size, group numbers may vary depending on the date and demand. The maximum of people on the group is 30. We always work to ensure that all participants can comfortably follow the visit and benefit from the guide's explanations. Thank you for joining us in Córdoba. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

I think the tour was...

Olga_T, May 2026

I think the tour was great. We had Azhara as our tour guide and she was absolutely wonderful and even stayed a little after to answer questions. She didn’t rush through the tour which is common for big groups. I would say the bad thing is you can’t go back into the mosque cathedral and we didn’t get much time to walk around ourselves which is a shame because the place is ginormous and absolutely stunning.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you very much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Azhara made such a positive impression. We'll be sure to pass along your comments to her. Regarding re-entry to the Mosque-Cathedral, this is a policy established by the monument itself and unfortunately is beyond the control of tour operators. We completely understand that visitors would often like more time to continue exploring such an extraordinary site. Thank you again for your recommendation. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

Tour offered by Viator wrongly in the argeniinean page.

ADAMARIA_O, May 2026

This activity was offered, by Viator, in the Argentinean section. I booked it BUT GUESS WHAT. The tour was in Spain. Then why it shows up in the Argentinean section?

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review. We understand your confusion, but we would like to clarify that OWAY Tours operates in Córdoba, Spain, and we have no control over how destinations are displayed or categorised on Viator's regional websites. The tour description, location, meeting point and all booking information clearly refer to Córdoba, Spain. It appears this may be an issue related to the platform's search or display system rather than the tour itself. We appreciate your feedback and recommend contacting Viator directly regarding how activities are presented on their regional pages. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

Amazing location - poor guide experience

narasimhan_r, May 2026

While the mosque cathedral is magnificent ( 5 star experience ) the tour guiding was low quality. 1) the headphones were terrible with heavy static - I removed them and guided myself with Gemini while walking along with the group 2) the guide spoke very fast English which compounded by the accent was very difficult. Other options including booking a skip the line directly with the official Audio headset can be considered.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased that you found the Mosque-Cathedral to be such an impressive monument. Regarding your comments, our tours are always conducted by official local guides rather than audioguides. While our guides speak English fluently, they are local Spanish professionals and a slight accent can naturally be present. We understand that language preferences and listening experiences can vary from person to person. We also appreciate your comments regarding the audio equipment and will take them into account as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the experience. Best regards, OWAY Tours Team

Cordoba Mosque/Catedral & Jewish Quarter

Jennifer_H, May 2026

The tour is broken into two parts, each with a different guide; the Jewish Quarter outside and then the Mosque/Catedral inside. The Jewish Quarter part was extremely crowded with many tour guides operating at the same time. We lost sight of our guide several times and she had to do a head count and do a roll call before proceeding. The guide for the Mosque/Cathedral part was amazing and very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. The historic center and Jewish Quarter of Córdoba can become extremely crowded, especially during peak tourism periods, and many guided groups operate simultaneously in these public spaces. Our guides always do their best to keep groups together and maintain clear communication throughout the visit. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Mosque-Cathedral portion of the experience and appreciate your comments regarding the organization of the outdoor sections. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Poor customer service

Sandra_B, May 2026

Don’t try to change the number of people in your booking. Despite trying to reduce our party from 3 to 2 36 hours before the tour we were told the minimum number for this activity had not been met. There were over 20 people on the tour!!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. However, your name does not appear in our booking system, so this situation was most likely managed entirely through Viator’s platform and policies. In many cases, modifications to reservations depend directly on the platform where the booking was made. Had you contacted us directly, we would certainly have tried to help you adjust the reservation if possible. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Failed - poor experience.

Jean_L, May 2026

Poor experience getting onto the right tour. The confirmation email with information links had error messages. The tour group lead didn’t find us and we missed the tour. This was a fail on Viator to provide the service promised

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the meeting point and tour access. However, we would like to clarify that all meeting point information, including maps and instructions, is normally sent correctly through the Viator platform. In cases where Viator links fail or display errors, this is unfortunately outside of our direct control. Our guides always wait at the designated meeting point and do their best to locate participants before departure. We are sorry that in this case you were unable to join the group. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Great Tour for a Day Trip to Cordoba

Benjamin_R, May 2026

Our tour guide, Jose, was informative and incredibly kind. He was careful to keep us together as a group given the amount of people in the area. For a day trip from Seville, the 2.5hr tour was perfect. If you are under time constraints (and want a guided English language tour), I recommend doing this one.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you very much for your review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with José and appreciated both his explanations and his attention to the group, especially during busy moments in the city. We are also happy to know the tour suited your day trip plans perfectly. Thank you for recommending us! Best regards, OWAY Tours
