Our visit to Mezquita-Catedral de Cordoba would not have been so memorable if we didn't take this tour. Our English-speaking guide Enrique was excellent! He guided us through an enchanting history of the Mosque-Cathedral with passion, knowledge and enthusiasm. Going through the Mosque halls we learnt about the initial construction in the 8th century and all the subsequent expansions up to 10th century. The true "wow" moment was entering the nave of the Cathedral inside the Mosque (13th century). You certainly do not expect it to be so grand and opulent but it is! We all agreed that it was a very thoughtful way of telling the story chronologically and leading us to its Christian climax - the Cathedral. To complete the experience, we also attended the Sunday mass the next day. Would highly recommend this tour. Big thanks to our guide Enrique!
