What will we see on the tour of the Mosque of Córdoba?
On this guided tour, we will enjoy interesting sites such as the remains of the ancient Visigothic Basilica of San Vicente, which predates the construction of the first mosque. We will learn about each and every one of the extensions built by the various emirs and caliphs, the famous mihrab and the dome covering the maqsura, masterpieces of Umayyad Caliphate art.
Finally, we will take a tour of the various transformations that took place during the Christian period, which led to the creation of such unique spaces as the Royal Chapel, the Cathedral’s transept, the High Altar and the choir stalls.

Frequently asked questions
Mainly, men are not allowed to enter with their heads covered, but this is not a problem for women. In general, the temple asks us to avoid clothing that is not appropriate for a cathedral.
If a guided tour is booked, the company will take care of the tickets directly. If the customer has already purchased tickets in advance, they will simply have to pay the price of the guided tour.
You are not allowed to eat or drink inside the temple. However, you are allowed to bring water.
There are no restrictions regarding photos.
According to temple regulations, the group must remain with the guide. Depending on the circumstances, there may be occasions when free time is allowed to explore the monument on your own. However, in general, the guide must always accompany the group.
The visit to the tower is not included; it is a visit that you make on your own, paying the amount estimated by the Cathedral Chapter.
Due to regulations, the guide cannot give radios to customers inside the monument, so it is impossible to grant this request. We emphasise the importance of punctuality. The guide can allow a maximum of 5 minutes' grace, but then must start on time as the rest of the group is waiting to begin at the scheduled time.
No, there is no excessive walking involved. Furthermore, in case of need, the monument itself has wheelchairs available, which the guide will request at the appropriate time.

Reviews
We picked ArtenCordoba perhaps more through luck rather than judgement – simply based on it appearing high up on the google search ranking. Pat on the back to whoever at ArtenCordoba does their search engine optimisation work.
Following the initial enquiry all arrangements made via email. We had a number of clarifications which were fully provided – never quite sure if we were engaging with a bot or human, if the former another well-done. Payment process through a secure portal so no concerns there.
Pre visit arrangements well handled but we must say that the tour itself was absolutely excellent and worth every euro.
We met our guide, Fatima, at 10:00 as arranged without problem. What a credit Fatima is to ArtenCordoba. Absolutely brilliant guide, very engaging, spoke excellent English, great local knowledge and specific knowledge of the history of the Iberian Peninsula and specifically of course the history of Cordoba. Plus judged the pace well, and at no time did we feel , as is the real benefit of the personal private tour for just two people, that we were being route marched round.
Our tour covered both a walk past the alcazar, down to the royal stables, touching on patios and through La juderia before entering the Mezquita. Lots of insights and things, even having read guidebooks / internet articles, that we would never have picked up on.
Likewise within the stunning environs of the Mezquita itself Fatima highlighted many aspects that we may well have missed completely, plus as with our external walk Fatima was happy to answer all the questions that we had.
The tour ended within the Mezquita leaving us as much time as we wanted to wander round again, take photos, or just sit in awe of our surroundings.
All in all a fantastic experience. So a huge thank you to Fatima, and to ArtenCordoba.
