Great if you only have a day to see Cordoba

We had heard & read about a visit to Cordoba as being a 'must do', but we were short on time. This trip ticked the box, it allowed us to utilise a day to see the old town & fabulous mezquita

Layers of civilization

Coming by train from Madrid, we joined a large group original from Sevilla. The tour allowed us to understand the superposition of civilization layers and their mutual interactions. A friendly and knowledgeable guide contributed to the success of this trip.
