 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited Carmona and Cordoba with Rebeca, who was very good, but we wasted a lot of time because there was a group of Spanish speakers in addition to us Italians, and Rebeca had to do double translations for each explanation. All the time wasted listening to the Spanish translation could have been used to visit other places or give us time for shopping. I recommend having each guide speak only one language. For the Mosque of Cordoba, we had Veronica as our guide, who was excellent, very friendly, and you could tell she enjoys telling the story. I recommend her to everyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today I took a day trip from Seville to Cordoba, via Carmona, with this company. I found the two tour guides and the driver nice and helpful. However, I was very glad when we were back in Seville. Somehow, it wasn't enjoyable at all. In Cordoba, they gave us far too many details about the specific sights we visited, which wasted a lot of time. You want to get to know Cordoba on a trip like this, not listen to endless details about a patio. The worst part was that there was a family in the group with a baby who was only a few months old. That should be prohibited! Who wants to listen to a screaming and crying baby during a journey?! The parents of the baby were incredibly rude and selfish. It would definitely have been more pleasant if I had taken the bus or train from Seville to Cordoba.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super positive experience. We turned to them because we wanted to take an excursion to Cordoba and Jesus was fantastic because he guided us to discover Carmona first and then the town of Cordoba, while Veronica took care of showing us the Mezquita and she was impeccable. In short, the day turned out to be spectacular! Everything was perfectly organized. Thank you for making our vacation even more beautiful!!!
