Hello, my name is Krisztina, a Hungarian girl who decided to move to Córdoba 11 years ago. I first came to study in this beautiful city, but after my graduation I decided to stay working here, choosing it as my new home. During my tours, I always like to say that I hope to show you why I fell in love with this amazing, unique city. I graduated in Tourism with the specialty of Heritage, and have been working for 4 years as an Official Tour Guide authorized by the Council of Andalucía. I really enjoy my job. I like to continue learning a lot and going to conferences as to always provide up to date information in my tours, such as new discoveries about Córdoba and its heritage. As Córdoba has a very rich cultural history, I have carefully studied and prepared my tours about the different religions that would be coexisting for centuries in this area. For me being a guide is the best job ever, and I think loving what you do for a living it makes you feel like it's not a job at all. I like to do my best so you can get to know the city in a knowledgeable way, yet not overwhelmingly, but enjoyably so. I'm flexible, so if you have special requests just let me know and I can organize the best tour tour for you. If you would like to know what makes someone move to Córdoba, while getting to know the city's history, don't hesitate to book my tours. I'm looking forward to meeting you! - Graduated in Tourism from the University of Córdoba - Official Licensed Guide of Andalucia by Junta de Andalucía. - Official Sefardic Tour Guide by the Jewish Quarter Association I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Cordoba tour
Join me on a 90-minute journey through history and fantasy at the incredible Castle of Almodóvar. I’ll guide you through its ancient towers, secret chambers, and legendary halls — the very same ones featured as Highgarden in Game of Thrones. As we explore this stunning fortress, I’ll share its thousand-year history, tales of knights and kings, and behind-the-scenes stories from the show. We’ll visit the dungeons, armory, and royal rooms, all while enjoying panoramic views of the Andalusian countryside. Whether you're a history buff, a fantasy fan, or just looking for a unique adventure, I promise an unforgettable experience!
