It takes you to visit...

Lesley_K, May 2026

It takes you to visit some of the smaller private patios not the larger attractions standardly visited by tourists. It also provides interesting historical information regarding the functions of patios in earlier times, snippets of insight into the social history of Cordoba. So not just about the gorgeous floral displays, beautiful as they are!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are very happy to hear that you appreciated not only the beauty of the patios, but also the social and historical context behind them. The private patios offer a much more authentic perspective of Córdoba’s traditions and daily life. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Seeing the love of the people from Cordoba for the patio and recognizing the work of the owners. Abel, the guide, deserves a 10.

As a professional in the field, I must say that I loved it. The last two we visited were very good; the rest can improve, although I acknowledge that the work of the owners is immense to maintain them in these conditions.

A bit underwhelming

I'm sure the guide did his best but there seemed to be a lot of speaking about quite basic things. We saw 2 patios, very nice but nothing knock your sox off: the city has just as many nice plants and flowers around the civil streets and footpaths. Seemed a lot of walking for now much "wow".

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the Patios tour may not have the same impact for every visitor, especially depending on personal expectations. The experience is focused not only on the patios themselves, but also on their history, traditions, neighbourhood culture and the local way of life that surrounds them. During the Patios Festival, access and routes are also regulated by the city, which is why the tour combines walking sections with guided explanations between patios. We appreciate your comments and are glad you still had the opportunity to discover this unique Córdoba tradition. Best regards, OWAY Tours

Stupendous, recommend.
