I tried to contact the tour guide and the original guy I booked with, but no answer. The guide never showed up. I reached out again, no answer. Stull teting to figure out how to get a full refund ... but also still trying to enjoy the rest of my vacation. My kids and I are so disappointed. Of I could give zero hearts and zero thumbs up, I would. Tour guide was a no show

Nothing better than being shown around a city by a born and bred local with first hand knowledge and information. Lucia met us at our hotel and took us around the old streets and Alcazar for two hours recommending authentic restaurants along the way which made for a very enjoyable experience Lovely Lucia!

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Córdoba with Lucía, and she made our experience truly unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history was incredible, but what really set the tour apart was how she wove in personal stories from her own family’s experience. Hearing about Córdoba through her eyes—and through generations of her family—brought the city to life in such a moving and meaningful way. Lucía was not only incredibly informative but also so warm, personable, and funny. It felt like we were walking through the city with an old friend who happened to know everything about it. We especially enjoyed that at the start of the tour Lucia utilized a large map of the city and gave a historic overview of specific spots in the city, which helped to provide context throughout the tour. She was also wonderfully flexible, adjusting the tour on the fly to match our interests and adding thoughtful touches that made the day feel tailored just for us. If you’re planning a visit to Córdoba and want a tour that’s as heartfelt as it is insightful, Lucía is the guide you want by your side.Knowledgeable, personable, and delightful

Just want to say thank you to Gloria for stepping in for Lucia at the last minute. Due to good communication with Lucia, we were still able to have a tour...and we were collected from our apartment, a nice touch. Gloria showed us many sites in Cordoba that we probably would never have found as well as telling us interesting pieces of history. Thank you.Great start to our visit

Lucia graciously offered to meet us at our hotel, which was a very nice touch to begin our time together. She then gave us an excellent overview of the history of the city, which was just the right way to start our tour. She took us to many sites that were not in our guide book and that we would never have found on our own. She gave us useful suggestions for restaurants, other sites, ticket purchases, etc. If you are planning a trip to Cordoba (which you should because it is a very special place), you should definitely start your visit with a tour by Lucia. She gets my highest recommendation!Amazing tour of Cordoba with Lucia

Lucia was amazing! She contacted us before the tour to coordinate everything and to make any ajustments if it was needed. We were a group of different ages including an 81 year old and she did great! She had a lot of patience and was very kind with all of us! We had a lot of fun with her and she shared amazing stories from Cordoba! Amazing Tour!

My boyfriend and I had very limited time in Cordoba (only ~8 hours) so we wanted to make sure we maximized our time. Lucia did a phenomenal job of customizing our tour to not only see the most popular sites in Cordoba, but also some of the lesser known. We learned so much from her, she was full of knowledge. We also shared a fantastic lunch together that we otherwise would not have been able to find or experience on our own. Thank you so much Lucia for your time and dedication not only during the tour, but beforehand in making the itinerary. A must book tour guide!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first evening in Cordoba with our guide Lucia, walking around and tasting local dishes. She is amazing! So gracious, funny and very knowledgeable. She is the real deal, a true Cordobese. We had a great introduction to the Andalusian way of life and background history from her. She gave us really good suggestions of where to get local breakfast and best gelaterias and pastellireas in Cordoba. We were delighted to hear about the Roman artefacts in the area - especially the remains of Via Augusta which is not well documented in tourist brochures. She was very patient with our questions, being academics we must have asked too many! It was also just so nice to just sit back and let her show us her city and order the drinks and dishes for us. The food were all so delicious! Three tavernas and restaurants later we were quite full and could eat no more. We kept chatting like old friends and time simply flew - before we knew it several hours passed. We’re so glad we got to know Lucia. We felt very relaxed for the rest of our visit having spent time with a passionate local who shared our interest in history, food and the environment. Worth every minute!Worth every minute! Lucia is a gem.

Firstly, Lucía was very responsive in arranging our tour, flexible and patient in making changes when we asked. Lucia is very knowledgeable of the city as she has spent many years here. Besides the main attractions, she showed us some out of the way historical highlights. She also took the time to find us a quick bite when we really needed one! We would recommend Lucía as your guide to Córdoba, you will learn some fascinating history! Cordoba highlights and hidden gems
