We took the smaller bus tour and had a great time. Driver took us round all the beautiful small streets that the bigger bus could not manage. It was delightful and really gave a flavour of what makes Córdoba such a pretty and unique place.

In Cordoba due to a day of heavy rain, the service allowed us to see the whole central part of the city, the next day we physically went to the uncovered places with the bus

Excellent tour. It's really worth it especially if you combine it with entrance to the Mosque, etc.

Amazing 5 courtyards with the best of the patios cordobeses vibes
