this was the third stop on our self-guided tour of espana, and since we only had about 24 hours to…read morespend in cordoba, we decided to purchase day passes for the hop on and hop off tour bus. since there was a ticket booth at the cordoba train station, our entry point into the city, and the bus had an official stop just outside the station as well as a couple of blocks from our hotel, we decided to skip the taxi (save some €€s) and just hop right on the tour bus, luggage and all! for €17/per person, we were entitled to: +a regular size tour bus that made a large loop around the city, making 17 stops which included major landmarks such as the mezquita, alcazar, and +a mini bus which offered 10 additional stops, taking us through the less traveled roads, ones that were too narrow to fit the regular size tour bus +two unique walking tours, one that showcased the popular tourist spots in the city centre, the other giving tourists a chance to see the old jewish quarter +hop on and hop off access for 24 consecutive hours +complimentary ear buds with commentary in english (and 10 other languages) +free wifi while on the bus while on the regular tour bus, our driver did take a very long break at the panoramica del rio (panoramic river view) stop, and just got off the bus and whipped out a cigarette. since we weren't sure when the tour would resume, we ended up wandering off on our own and just walking back across the footbridge, to the main part of the city. so unfortunately, we did not get a chance to finish the main bus tour, but i suspect we ended up seeing the remaining sites on foot on our own. the mini bus was pretty cool as i felt like i was on one of those 1970s vans, cruising through the little alleyways and small streets of cordoba. there was so much to see that i spent most of my time snapping pictures rather than listening to the commentary! we participated in the juderia walking tour, which took us through the old jewish quarter. apparently, this city used to be predominantly jewish, but started changing through the centuries. carmen, our lovely tour guide, took us to see the very first synagogue built in this city, several key buildings, and statues of famous jews. this tour was meant to be a dual spanish-english speaking tour, but my husband and i were the only english speakers (and possibly the only tourists who resided outside of spain)! carmen knew this and made sure that she took the time to translate everything for us so that we didn't miss anything. she even recommended a nice restaurant for us to dine at after the tour! this was probably my favourite city tour of all of the cities that i visited in spain. the number of tourist sites that were covered by the bus and walking tours, as well as carmen, our lovely walking tour guide, made this a wonderful experience for hubby and i.

I bought our tickets the night before and got the first available time slot which was right at…read moreopening. We also queued up on the left side of the entrance for online ticket holders. We were the first ones in the door and for a short time able to take photos without anyone else around us. Honestly even after spending more than an hour exploring we never experienced any crowds that weekday in January. Overall impression was blown away with the way in which the mosque was integrated into a Catholic Church. Much of the moorish features (especially the very recognizable red and white arches everywhere) and the Mihrab were retained. Beautiful. A variety of western styles (Gothic or Renaissance) were used to build out the church choir, chapel, etc. The minaret, now bell tower, was a separate admission but we decided to skip the climb. I recall there was a limited number of tickets at each time slot so buy it in advance if you want to climb up. Definitely one of the highlights while visiting Cordoba.

The only place in the world where a mosque and a cathedral are coexisting with architecture of both open to any visitor. In the 13th century, under Ferdinand III, the Saint, Cordoba's Great Mosque was turned into a cathedral and new defensive structures, particularly the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos and the Torre Fortaleza de la Calahorra, were erected. There's a ticket fee to get in, but from Monday-Saturdays, you can get in for FREE between 8:30a-9:20am. A great way to see this marvel for free.

This place came up on my online search of things to do in Cordoba - thought the alley must be…read morereally cool if it made some lists. Well, like another reviewer said - it was a bit disappointing. It didn't feel much different than other alleys I've seen in Spain. This was just more narrow and packed full of tourists. I had to get in queue behind a large tour group - single file line for those going in and out. At the end was a small courtyard. Yes, you can see the tower from there, but there really isn't anything special. There were blue flower pots hanging on the alley walls, but overall, I would not go out of your way to see this - it's an ordinary street/alley.

We did two tours with Cicerone tours, and both were wonderful. The first is the "Essential Must Do…read moreof Granada," and the second is the "Evening Albaicin and Sacromente Tour." I highly recommend both. You cannot choose your tour guide, but if you were able to, I would highly recommend Senne. Don't be fooled by Senne's young appearance. This young man can recite the history of Granada and answer all kinds of difficult questions. What I really appreciated about Senne is how he is able to connect all of the stories together and give you a comprehensive view of all of the tours you may have taken even outside Granada. Going back to the tours, the Essential Must Do tour gives you an overall glimpse of all important areas in Granada so that you know where to go deeper on your own. As for the evening tour, you get a beautiful view of the nighttime view of Alhambra as well as see the interesting "cave" house of the Gypsies.

I really liked the fact that she allowed my partner Jerry to discuss his passion for plants and landscaping with her....walking through the gardens of the generalife was amazing and she was great in discussing all types of plants and garden styles with Jerry. I recommend cicerone and Lucia to anyone who wants to tour an amazing city and learn while having a fantastic time! You won't regret it!

THIS SITE IS A RIPOFF. If you are at panchtours.com or the website says "Sagrada Familia by Feel…read morethe City," it is trying to look like the official site but it is a deceptive third-party vendor. We received an email two weeks after our booking that there was "no availability" for our selected (and confirmed!) date. The email makes it sound like you can't get a refund. I actually WAS able to get a refund (I hope), through a very confusing process (you click "reschedule" then click on a line of text that says something about cancellations but doesn't look like a button, and that takes you to a blank screen with a phone number -- but I did receive an email confirming cancellation and I will be watching for it on my credit card statement). By the time this scammy site cancelled our booking, there was not availability for our desired time and tour on the official Sagrada Familia site, so we are having to go at a different time, not visit the towers, and hope that another location will agree to change our timed reservation there. I feel very foolish -- I was super-careful to search for official websites when I made all of my bookings, but somehow this one deceived me. I hope some readers learn from my mistake!!
