Cordoba Jewish Tour

This is an excellent 2.5-hour tour of the Jewish Quarter of Cordoba! Our guide Jorge Gershon provided a thorough overview of the history of Judaism in Cordoba (and Andalusia as a whole), as well as interesting personal insights into the contemporary Jewish communities of Spain. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough—thank you, Jorge!

I highly recommend this tour - it gives a completely new dimension to the visit of the jewish section of Cordoba. Jorge adapted to the pace of our family (teens + a baby), while providing cool anecdotes and very clear explanations. Even understanding Jorge's jewish life in current Sevilla was super interesting. Overall, everybody spent a very fun and informative 2.5 hours - and highly recommend this tour.

Great tour with Jorge who spoke excellent English. As there are no Jews living in Cordoba, Jorge came from Seville to lead us through the quarter. Make sure you book when the synagogue is open. While small it is amazing. We had toured the Mosque the day before and learned the same craftsman who worked at the Mosque also did the synagogue. The highlight was to visit the Jewish museum and have a sit-down chat with the person who started the museum. The museum itself was once were 8 families lived, mostly 1 small room per family. It has a central courtyard and community kitchen. The other rooms house artifacts, an art exhibit of influential Jewish women and history through the centuries. Small but packed with lots of interesting information. This tour may be the only way to visit the museum as the number of visitors after COVID restrictions lifted has been low.
