Read the full description
On the guided tour of the Popular Courtyards of Cordoba, we will travel back in time, where you will discover the origins of the typical Cordovan courtyard.
Hand in hand with our expert tour guides and historians, you will learn about the contributions of each of the cultures that settled in our city.
You’ll meet the owners, with whom we’ll also talk. In the tour we will talk about the care of each patio, the floral species that make it up, how they water them… and, of course, the peculiarities of each one of them… and what makes them so special.
When to visit the courtyards of Córdoba?
Except for the months of July and August, it could be said that the Courtyards of Córdoba are open throughout the year.
But when do we recommend visiting them? The Courtyard Festival, or in other words, the Popular Competition, is held during the first two weeks of May. This would be the best time to visit, but it has the drawback of the large number of tourists in the city during those days. To avoid crowds, we recommend visiting in March, April, the second half of May, or in October and November. During these periods, the Courtyards of Córdoba are in perfect condition, and high-quality guided tours can be enjoyed.

Angel (mayor) y un chico joven hoy han sido excelentes guías, profesionales y megacompetentes. Me ha encantado que son historiadores y de forma amena nos han dado horas y horas de información para no solo ver los monumentos sino saber la historia que atesoran. Súper bien organizado todo puntual y gestionado
Emilio est très respectueux des habitants et des lieux, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. Nous avons pu visiter 6 maisons sans trop d’attente.
Nous n’avons absolument pas vu passer l’1 h 30 de visite.
Je recommande vivement cette visite à tous ceux qui viennent à Cordoue !
Los patios de Córdoba. Los patios son impresionantes, pero además, ser guiados por Rafa por su barrio, visitando patios en los que vivió en su infancia y aún hoy, es una suerte poco común. Gracias Rafa!
¡Muchas gracias por recomendarnos! Nos alegra que disfrutaras de la visita de Córdoba a Fondo.
¡Muchas gracias por tu valoración! Esperamos que hayas disfrutado descubriendo Córdoba con nosotros.
Elle était très disponible pour les questions sur l histoire mais aussi pour gérer les difficultés techniques de matériel
Elle a su nous faire patienter dans la file d’attente de la mosquée cathédrale, et nous donner un maximum d informations techniques et architecturales quant aux prouesses et connaissances qui ont permis la construction de l édifice
Enfin grâce a ses explications claires sur les grandes périodes et les principaux personnages politiques, nous avons bien saisi la construction en plusieurs étapes de l édifice et son évolution progressive et vers cet imbroglio incroyable entre les différentes influences religieuses
Cette visite assez longue, dense et complexe, Almudena nous l’a rendue intelligible , o combien intéressante grâce à son érudition, son implication et sa disponibilité
Merci!
El guía Rafa nos ha explicado un monton de cosas de manera amena.
Repetiremos!!!!!!
¡Gracias por tu reseña! Fue un placer mostrarte la historia de Córdoba.
Jeder bekommt einen Kopfhörer, sodass man alles problemlos verstehen kann, auch wenn man nicht direkt neben der Fremdenführerin steht. Die Mezquita ist sehr beeindruckend.
