Itinerary

Depart from selected Granada hotels in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan and relax during the scenic journey to Cordoba. Enjoy the picturesque perimeter of the Sierra Nevada mountain range as your guide sets the historical scene of the city.

Begin your tour at the colossal Catholic Cathedral, a former mosque transformed when Christians conquered Cordoba in 1236. Marvel at 1,000 candy striped pillars as you explore the magnificent Mezquita, noting the architectural amalgamation of Baroque and Renaissance elements. See sacred objects like ivory crucifixes and religious sculptures in the consecrated Cardinal’s Chapel before venturing to the next destination.

Next, stroll the narrow alleys and cobbled streets of the Jewish quarter to gain insight into the area’s turbulent past; admire Gothic architecture and roman remains before visiting one of the few synagogues still standing in Spain. Observe impressive monuments dedicated to prominent philosophers like Seneca, Averroes and Maimonides before returning to the minivan for the relaxing journey back to Granada.

Great driver and tour guide for Cordoba.

Nancy_L, May 2025

First, Driver - Michael was our driver. Simply put, he was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, engaging and enjoyable. Very good English; understood the nuances very well. That’s one of the reasons it was so fun to talk with him. He went out of his way to answer all of our questions and even gave us additional exploration tips for our next/final day in Granada. What a treat! In all of our travels, Michael was one of the best drivers we’ve ever had. Second, tour guide in Cordoba - Isabel was delightful. She had a very good mastery of the subject matter. She took all the time needed to give us a very thorough tour of the Cathedral of Cordoba. While English is her second language, she did a very good job communicating all the facts about the cathedral. She clearly has a very bright future in tourism. She made our day enjoyable and we would recommend her highly. Third, a suggestion going forward - the crowds throughout the day were very large and quite noisy. As a result, Isabel would have to stop, face us, and then directly speak to us in order to be heard. This resulted in a continual interruption of our tour and her explanations. We strongly suggest the use of a microphone for the guide and headsets for the guests. This would allow the guide to continually provide information as the guests are viewing the sights, thus avoiding unnecessary interruptions. Well, done to both Michael and Isabel.

Cordoba, city of history

Ellen W, Nov 2019

Ana was a wonderful guide for our city tour, an information filled 3 hours. She was able to answer all our questions and direct us to restaurants for lunch afterward.

Julie L, May 2017

This was expensive but there were four of us, with two having been to Cordoba twice in prior years. We wanted the others to share the experience we had had. I didn't make the booking until the day before which caused a bit of on again off again due to Australia confirming the booking but Grandad not knowing anything about it. Things worked out! There were only the four of us transported by a private vehicle to Cordoba and then we saw firstly the beautiful gardens, Jardines del Alcazar, and the Jewish quarter, that we hadn't previously seen and then on to the Mosque/ Cathedral. A wonderful day enjoyed by all.

DHIRAVAT N, Jun 2013

Cordoba is do-able from Granada, and definitely worth visiting, especially the mosque-cathedral. Viator driver and local guide in Cordoba both excellent: knowledgeable and courteous. Recommended.

nothing could be better than this the guide was so good her name was maria and the driver michal who made us feel comfortable

Was a little disappointed with the tour...

Ghazala B, Jun 2010

Was a little disappointed with the tour in that it did not last as long as the itinerary had stated. The driver took a little longer to arrive in Cordoba (3 hours in total) than expected, but took the more historical route on the way there. We stopped off at an interesting little shop on the way which sold various products made from the local olive groves. Although we enjoyed the tours of the main sites, the guide was very friendly & enthusiastic. I would have appreciated being able to see other parts of the very pretty city of Cordoba with the time we had to spare. We arrived back at our hotel at around 6pm. I also felt the overall price for the tour was a little excessive.
