Ana was very knowledgeable and spirited. Transmitted a lot of Cordoba history making the tour interesting all the time.

This tour was very enjoyable. We did this tour in January, and we’re only ones on the tour. Although Santa Cruz / Jewish Quarter doesn’t have any or much Jewish parts to it any more the guide told us the history or the area. He even showed us a plaque commemorating the area to a Jewish site. The Alcázar is true magnificent. We were able to skip the lines to enter. (Double check if Alcázar entrance is included with your tour package, it was for me).
Also note that you can’t bring in any food into the Alcázar. The store right outside can hold your food for a few of 2 euros.

The trip around the Jewish quarter is virtuallly a waste of time as the Jewish community was effectively destroyed from the 1300 's onwards.
There are no surviving synagogues or Jewish relics or antiquities

There is an engraving on a wall feferring to Susan ben zyon.
Otherwise streets of life or death.
Hitler learnt from the Spanish Inquisition how to persecute and destroy a race
The Moslem community which was close to the Jewish community survived by sheer numbers .
Better to visit Cordoba [only just] or apparently Toledo.
Spain has alot to answer for and for calling the few surviving Jews marranos meaning pigs.
The Alcezar was very interesting built with bloody hands but life is about the strong and powerful who write the history you read about.

Must See Sings with Historic and Cultural Relevance. Tragic and magical and old haunted houses. Lovers betrayals. Carmen and Don Juan. the sights and stories stay with you long after you leave Sevilla

Our tour guide, Maria, was phenomenal. She took time to explain the significance of what we were looking at and gave us time to ask questions. She was energetic and passionate about providing a quality and memorial experience!

Tour guides were great but we booked Alcazar n Jewish quarter trip together n trip advisor website set 2 hour trip but we ended up spending 5 hours .We had to wait 2.5 hours in extremely hot weather as Alcazar was at 1 n Jewish quarter at 5 n got free at 6. We had to change plans for the evening as we were totally exhausted from waiting

Had an amazing tour with Coral today. She was incredibly enthusiastic and captivating and we learnt so much! Even my 15-year old brother was interested, and that's no mean feat. Can't recommend this guide or tour company enough!

It’s hard to follow the Alhambra in Grenada, but the Alcazar is nice for the Seville leg of the trip. Pretty and more contained, the overlapping cultural histories are appreciated here.
I did not see that the walking tour was much later in the day until after I completed the booking. We had to move on and missed that part. The listing needs to make that more clear up front.
Guide was good and group was small.
