"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."
"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."
"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! "

Amazing tour of Cordoba with Lucia
"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!"
"We had a very nice and pleasant tour with Lucia, she knew the history of cordoba and lovely stories to share. We were late for the tour and Lucia insisted on making up the time we missed for us."
