Córdoba was once the premier city of the Western World, the greatest metropolis west of Constantinople, and the seat of Europe’s first university.

I had the most wonderful time going on a tour our tour guide Antonio. As someone who loves to understand more about the cities I visit but in a way that is interactive and fun, Antonio ticked all of the boxes. He knew so much about the history of Cordoba and he shared all of his knowledge in a light-hearted and easy-to-understand way. I really enjoyed every second of our tour and the time flew by so quickly. Thank you Antonio for everything! :)

This is the second time we have booked the Patios of Cordoba Festival Tour, which is operated by Konexion Tours— both times have been absolutely wonderful, especially the most recent time with Juan Carlos for the English group. He is personable, knowledgeable and loves his hometown. The tour was amazing, and we had an incredible experience. We booked the reservation primarily for the patios, but ended up learning so much more about the history of Cordoba, and saw far more patios than we ever could have seen otherwise. I highly recommend getting a tour guide to see the patios, especially if Spanish is not your native language, because trying to find the patios by yourself is very challenging and it can be difficult. The tour guides make the trip more enjoyable and you will get to see several patios, whereas if you try go without one, some of the patios can be difficult to locate or have certain hours that they are closed, etc. The tour guides know the best routes to go to maximize your time and will explain a little bit about the background and history of the patios and the city of Cordoba. We will certainly be back and will certainly use him for more tours of Cordoba in the future. - Esta es la segunda vez que reservamos el Tour de los Patios de Córdoba, que es operado por Konexion Tours- ambas veces han sido absolutamente maravillosas, especialmente la más reciente con Juan Carlos para el grupo de Inglés. Es una persona agradable, con conocimientos y ama su ciudad natal. El tour fue increíble, y tuvimos una experiencia increíble. Hicimos la reserva principalmente por los patios, pero terminamos aprendiendo mucho más sobre la historia de Córdoba, y vimos muchos más patios de los que podríamos haber visto de otra manera. Recomiendo encarecidamente conseguir un guía turístico para ver los patios, especialmente si el español no es tu lengua materna, porque tratar de encontrar los patios por ti mismo es muy desafiante y puede ser difícil. Los guías turísticos hacen que el viaje sea más agradable y que puedas ver varios patios, mientras que si intentas ir sin uno, algunos de los patios pueden ser difíciles de localizar o tienen ciertas horas que están cerradas, etc. Los guías turísticos conocen las mejores rutas para ir a maximizar su tiempo y explicarán un poco sobre el fondo y la historia de los patios y la ciudad de Córdoba. Sin duda volveremos y sin duda lo utilizaremos para más tours de Córdoba en el futuro.
