Really enjoyable tour with lots of information about Cordoba and its history
Published on Jan, 2025
This was a great tour. Gave us lots of interesting information about Cordoba’s history and culture while taking us on a roundabout but nice route we would never have found by ourselves. It is long, though - we probably spent over 4 hours including a few short breaks.
The app is easy to use once you get the hang of it, and you can stop and restart the tour whenever you want. The GPS was a bit unreliable at times, so in a couple of places it didn’t trigger when it should have done, which meant we had to look at the map on our phones, but most of the time it worked fine and we could just follow the instructions.
Great introduction to Cordoba.
Published on Nov, 2024
Great overview of the city. Saw a number of hidden gems I had previously missed. Easy to use and understand. Ben had a pleasing voice and volume of information great.
