2-Day Cordoba Trip from Seville Including Medina Azahara, Carmona and Skip-the-Line Entrance to Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral

Our tour to Corcoba was not without its problems. We were picked up at our hotel at the correct time and had a nice trip to Cordoba by tour bus with a very good guide. In Cordoba we were dropped off at a tour office were we met our guide for Cordoba. She was excellent and the tour went smoothly. After the tour things stared going down hill. We asked where our hotel was and she told us to head east or take a taxi. It was raining so we couldnt tell where east was. We were given an envelope at the begining of the tour so we assumed that that was our hotel. It actually was the meeting place for the next days tour. When we got to that hotel of course they never heard of us. Also our luggage was taken earlier to our unnamed hotel. They called different hotels in Cordoba trying to find where we were registered to no avail.We then took a taxi back to where we were dropped off. Of course everything was closed as it was siesta time. I then called viator in the US. I was finally given our hotel which was different than the one on our itinary. When we got to the hotel it was late so we just stayed in our hotel and missed walking around Cordoba. The next morning our hotel had plumbing problems. All the toilets overflowed flooding the breakfast room and all of the first floor which our room was located. The hotel had to be evacuated. We then proceeded to our meeting point for our tour to Medina Azahara. When we arrived we were informed that out trip was to be cut short, so we would not be going to Carmona. There was not enough people for the tour company to come back from seville. We were given train tickets and told to meet a taxi at a designated time to take us back to seville. We were met in Seville by a bus that took us back tour hotel..All the tour personel was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the sights with knowledgable tour guides but our trip was filled with glitches.

Tour was very interesting. Guides were knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain in English though the share in the audience of English speaking participants was of the order of 10%. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at our hotel. A small mishap is that, in Cordova, the taxi that was to pick us up and take us to the train station for the trip back to Sevilla wanted to be paid contrarily to the contract. It was a limited amount of cash but points to some miscommunication in the operation
