Frequently asked questions

Are there any dress code rules that must be followed?+

This is important regarding the Mosque–Cathedral, which is part of the tour. Men are not allowed to enter with their heads covered; for women, it is not an issue. In general, the temple asks that we avoid clothing that is not appropriate for a cathedral.

If I arrive late to the meeting point, can I go inside and look for the guide?+

In that case, the customer must pay for their own ticket; the ticket previously paid through the guide is not valid because the monument follows strict entry times. For this reason, it is essential to arrive 10–15 minutes early.

Can you enter the monument with food?+

Inside the temple, eating and drinking are not allowed. However, carrying water is not a problem.

Can I take photos?+

There are no restrictions regarding photos.

Once the guide’s explanation is over, can I remain inside the temple?+

Due to the temple’s regulations, the group must remain with the guide. Depending on the circumstances, there may occasionally be some free time to explore the monument on your own. But in general, the guide must always accompany the group.

Is the visit to the bell tower included in the guided tour?+

The visit to the tower is not included; it is done independently by paying the fee set by the Cathedral Chapter.

If I go with a guide, I don't have to wait in line, right?+

That doesn’t depend on us; it depends on the monument’s management. Normally there is no priority access, so having a guided tour does not mean skipping the line.

If I’m using a wheelchair or have any kind of physical difficulty, is it advisable to visit the monument?+

In the Mosque, there is not a lot of walking. Additionally, if needed, the monument itself has wheelchairs available, and the guide will request one when necessary.

Regarding the Alcázar, a wheelchair is not feasible. The Alcázar is not currently adapted for a comfortable visit, as there are many stairs. If you have difficulty walking, the visit is possible, but it ultimately depends on your own judgment.

Tuve el tour por la juderia de Córdoba con Joaquín. Fue impecable. Muy ameno el recorrido y los daros historicos justos para comprender el valor de lo que teniamos en frente. Por la noche tomé otro tour con Elena y fue tan bueno como el de la mañana. Perfecto todo.
Hicimos el tour con elena y nos encantó!
Aprendimos mucho sobre la historia de Córdoba, fue una chica muy agradable
He hecho el tour nocturno con Elena. Maravillosa y con muchísima información súper curiosa que desconocía de Córdoba. Súper entretenida, se nos ha hecho súper corto. Recomendamos!
Helena nos llevo por los mejores sitios de la ciudad,nos contó muchas historias y realmente nos hizo sentir muy bien. Gracias por todo.
Joaquin, nuestro guía fue excelente, dió mucha informacion y realizó un recorrido muy entretenido aportando muchos datos. Muy recomendable!
Jose was a great, knowledgeable, and fun guide. 100% recommend! All the history and architecture in his tour was very interesting.
The guide Saray was very professional and enthusiastic and spoke with passion about this lovely place and took time to answer all questions
Magique plein d histoire du lieu la guide au top c est un lieu a visiter
Buenísima la experiencia, nos encantó. La guía Saray tenía mucho conocimiento y explicaba muy bien. Nos mantuvo todo el tiempo alertas y con ganas de saber todos los detalles. Hicimos tour de la Mezquita y la Juderia. Lo hicimos através de Civitaties.
Una crack Elena. Aprendimos mucho de la hisyoria de españa y fundamentalmente de cordoba. Gracias
Genial Helena!
Eigentlich müsste ich 1 Stern abziehen, aber unsere Führerin Odile war so hervorragend, dass ich das hier nochmal betonen möchte. Nach 14 Tagen in Andalusien und vielen Führungen, war sie diejenige, die es nicht nur – wie andere auch – spannend und witzig zugleich gestaltet hat, sondern dabei auch sozialkritische Aspekte erwähnt hat, was z.B. die Inkuisition und die Conquista betrifft, ohne dabei unbedingt ihre Meinung zu äußern, sondern hat dargestellt, was die veeschiedenen politischen Standpunkte waren/sind.
Der Punkt Abzug ist: Der Treffpunkt war im Maps-Link falsch eingetragen, sodass wir ein bisschen suchen mussten.
Hemos hecho dos visitas guiadas por Córdoba y la verdad muy bien las dos.
Très interessant
Web muy clara y sencilla y organización perfecta con guías muy solventes.

Altamente recomendable
Hemos tenido una guía, Mari Carmen excepcional, tanto por sus conocimientos como por su extraordinaria disponibilidad y pasión
Patrizia was such a great guide, so knowledgable and patient. Great tour.
Amazing place to visit and Saray was an amazing guide as well! Highly recommended!
Great tour! Lived Saray’s energy and presentation!
Amazing Tour by Saia!
La Mezquita est toujours aussi impressionnante. Merci à notre guide pour ses riches explications. La visite guidée, et donc coupe file, est la solution si on veut ne rien louper !
