My family and I explored Cordoba with Joseph for 4hrs. It was myself, my husband and 2 adult children in their 20s and their partners. Joseph told us stories about Cordoba that were interesting, sometimes funny and were also informative and entertaining. Joseph was different to a lot of guides which we all found refreshing and interesting. Great sense of humour, and informative at the same time. We had some tea and drinks at a really cool cave bar/cafe with Joseph. Thank you Joseph, it was great exploring Cordoba with you! We all thought you were great! Cordoba with Joseph

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

Joseph was great! Initially he seemed a little nervous but maybe I am intimidating; I am a New York City girl. I was traveling alone with three teenagers, two were "mine" and one was a friend of my daughter's. But, within about 15 minutes, Joseph and my kids were bonding, and he was telling us so many legends and stories about Cordoba. He was funny, kind, and totally entertaining. My children adored him! I highly recommend spending your time with Joseph in Cordoba!Funny, kind, and knowledgable

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

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!

Lucia is that rare combination of knowledgable, professional and friendly guide. Time flew by as she took us around the beautiful areas of Cordoba, including the patios. I would recommend her without hesitation. Excellent!
