5Interesting tradition
A fun and informative tour! The patios were beautiful, and it was interesting to visit those in private homes. Our guide did a great job explaining the history and traditions behind Córdoba’s famous patios. A wonderful experience.
5Colorful Cordoba
One of the must sees in Cordoba especially if you love beautiful patios with colorful flowers. Go when the sun is not directly overhead for better photos.
5Excellent well timed and...
Excellent well timed and arranged tour. Great guide who obviously knew her stuff. The tour was in Spanish and we know almost no Spanish; but it didn't matter. Great choice of patos visited all with their own feel. Would thoroughly recommend.
5A good experience
It’s a walking tour. Small groups and a friendly guide, Paloma. We loved it. Two hours passed pretty fast.
1Poor customer service by OWAY
Our time was changed to 5 pm and we missed it!! We went at 4:45 and told the lady at the counter that we were there but she didn’t say anything. Unlike the other day when the lady at the counter gave us our headphone told us to be outside 5 mins prior to departure. The girl today was very unprofessional.
5Patio prettiness
This was an easy paced and very pleasant experience. Loved our guide, she was really informative and paced the visits really well. Patios are divine and totally recommend. 5pm was a good time at the end of the day.

About Córdoba
Córdoba is an Andalusian city on the Guadalquivir, once the capital of Moorish Spain, with the great Mezquita, a Roman bridge and flower-filled patios.
Córdoba was the capital of Moorish Spain in the 10th century, one of the largest and most learned cities in Europe, and its old town is a World Heritage site. The Mezquita-Catedral, begun as a mosque in the 8th century, has a forest of double-arched columns in red and white and a Christian cathedral built inside it in the 16th century. A Roman bridge crosses the Guadalquivir to the Calahorra Tower.
Top-ranked sights in Córdoba: Mezquita (Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba), Cordoba Jewish Quarter (Judería de Córdoba), Roman Bridge (Puente Romano).
