Córdoba a Pie · Palacio de Viana
A 75-minute guided visit of the Palacio de Viana with the entry ticket included, sold on Viator by Córdoba a Pie, the same company that runs the palace tour on GetYourGuide. It only has 2 reviews, so book it as the Viator option, not as a proven favourite.
This is the Viator listing of a Córdoba a Pie palace visit: 75 minutes with a local guide, entry ticket included, meeting at the main gate, the Reja de Don Gome. Córdoba a Pie also runs the two-hour patios and palace tour on GetYourGuide, which has 100 reviews, and the guides there (Rafa and José Antonio come up again and again) are the company's own.
Be honest with yourself about the evidence. It has only 2 reviews, one at five stars and one at four, and neither has any text on the listing. The listing is also thin. It says the tour is offered in Spanish, that tickets are included and that the group is capped at 2 travellers per booking, but it never says whether the ticket covers the rooms upstairs. At 75 minutes, expect the patios with a guide; ask Córdoba a Pie before you book if the interior matters to you.
It is not wheelchair accessible, though strollers are fine, and it ends back at the gate. If you want proof from other guests, or a ticket that clearly includes the rooms, the GetYourGuide tour is the safer bet for about the same price. If you just want to be shown round and keep everything on Viator, this works.
The main iron gate of the palace on Plaza de Don Gome. Córdoba a Pie guides usually carry an orange umbrella.
Your guide handles the ticket, then starts with the Patio de Recibo and the oldest courtyards.
The Rejas, the Madama, the 1814 patios and the Columnas, with the story of the families behind each.
The box parterres of the garden, then back to the gate where the tour ends.
★★★★★Our guide, José Antonio, was incredibly friendly, gave very clear explanations, and was very helpful to the customers.
★★★★★A very comprehensive visit, very well explained by the tour guide Rafa, who made it very interesting and added a touch of humor. Fantastic!!!!!
