Fun and informative - We were lucky enough to have 2 guides for this tour. Emilio was our English speaking guide and he was fluent, funny and obviously loved showing people the different patios. He often shared stories about each place and made everyone feel comfortable at each stop.
He was aware of crowds and avoided them, detouring back when there weren’t so many people. The guides were very respectful of the people whose homes we were visiting.
He chatted with the owners and was happy to answer questions.
We highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Patios! - We took a tour of the Patios of Cordoba when our scheduled tour of the Alcazar was unexpectedly cancelled (due to RAIN!). The tour was lovely and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though I was quite disappointed at missing out on the Alcazar, this substitute tour was great, and the patios were very beautiful, even in the rain.

The patios are beautiful but the tour was bit chaotic - The patios of Cordoba are definitely interesting and beautiful to see.
Unfortunately seeing the patios is really popular and there are a number of tours visiting the patios at about the same time with what appeared to be very little, if any, coordination among the groups. This inevitably leads to confusion and chaos.
This was our tour guides first night of conducting this tour in English, not her first language. While she tried her best, the confusion/chaos of multiple tours with her limited English ability lead to a very average tour of something that could/should be so much more. I am sure, over time the guide will become much better/more comfortable, especially under more favorable circumstances.
Anyhow seeing the patios of Cordoba is highly recommended but not under these circumstances. Perhaps a self guided tour may be a better way to go?

Wrong time listed, unable to participate - We showed up on time at the posted time of 6 pm. When we inquired about the meeting time the company informed us that the tour began at 5 pm. The company blamed Viator for posting the incorrect time and offered to book us for the following day. We are leaving tomorrow and as a result requested a refund. We were promptly refunded. The company could have contacted us prior
informing us of the time.
