What you'll see and do
Cordoba Escape
Private tour of the Amazing Cordoba with private English speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / Cordoba was once one of the greatest cities of the medieval world, even challenging Constantinople with its extraordinary palaces and mosques – the grandest of which, the Mezquita, is still one of the wonders of Europe. Now, the city is smaller than its Andalusian neighbors such as Granada and Seville, which in a way makes it far more appealing and charming. The main attractions are easily accessible on foot, wandering among the squares of the old town, the narrow streets of the ancient Jewish quarter, Cordoba is renowned for its extensive selection of tapas bars, where you’re as likely to be surrounded by locals as tourists. Extremely hot in the summer, Cordoba’s climate is at its best in autumn and spring. The most important feature of Cordoba is the Mezquita (Mosque) which after the re-conquest of Andalusia by the Christians, a Renaissance cathedral was constructed rather unusually and open plan in the center of the Mosque.The Roman Bridge over the River Guadalquivir offers the opportunity to walk across and gaze back for a terrific view of the medieval town of Cordoba.

The Mosque/Cathedral in...
The Mosque/Cathedral in Cordoba was so impressive and our guide was so knowledgable she added an extra dimension to the visit. The walk through town was lovely - especially a visit to one of the courtyard gardens.

Simply Outstanding Overall Experience
We had the opportunity to book 4 tours with Mark for various ports during our two week cruise around Spain and Portugal. The three of us had private drivers and guides on all four tours. The experience was outstanding. From the booking process with Mark, to the ability to customize every experience, to the quality of the vans used, to the drivers and guides.....simply great. I would highly recommend this firm!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great reveiw and I am very happy that you enjoyed the tours. Regards Mark

Fabulous day!!!
Mark contacted me early to connect about details. He kept in touch and made sure everything was ok. Jonathan from Low Cost Taxi Malaga was punctual and informative. The van was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We met our tour guide was also excellent and patient! She was super informative and kept pace with our seniors and teens. We had a wonderful day! FYI Cordoba in the summer is extremely hot so bring lots of water!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review and I will pass this onto Jonathan and Africa. Kind regards

Could have been better
Mecquite was memorable and guide quite knowledgeable. Driver was on time and friendly. Vehicle was comfortable. Our travel companions were unable to join us due to illness so the cost for the two of us was high (>$900, >$450 per person). Given the circumstances Viator should have reduced the cost or extended the guide’s time with us to increase the value of our fee payment. We had two hours of guided tour and four hours of driving.
Response from the operator: I understand what you are saying, but unfortunatly, the other couple decided not to join you, and this makes the tour more expensive.

+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

How many days do you need in Malaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
