Cordoba Mosque Cathedral and Jewish quarter Tours by Alma de Andalucia.

Rabbi Casas wonderfully guided our group through Jewish Cordoba, showing wit and wisdom, knowledge and sophistication of centuries of Jewish life in Spain. Moreover, he led a joyful Kabbalat Shabbat with singing both Sephardic and modern Reform Jewish melodies for our group, and offered a skillful D'var Torah. His presence moved me and my group, and his generosity of spirit was sweet and thoughtful. I'm happy to recomend Rabbi Haim Casas to any group looking to be informed and inspired in Cordoba!

Rabbi Haim was delightful. Very energetic and a wealth of historical knowledge. He also brings a unique perspective to the religious journey of Jews, Christians and Moslems as it relates to the history off Spain. We highly recommend Haim to help you explore the history of Cordoba.

Consigue que cualquier historia se vuelva apasionante. Es el guía perfecto si quieres una inmersión histórica auténtica y amena por Córdoba.

Görkemli ve çok etkileyici bir yapı. Ancak içerdeki eserlere ait açıklama kartları sadece İspanyolca. Rehbersiz gezenler için bu bir sorun

Extremamente proveitosa, o guia demonstrou possuir bastante conhecimento sobre a história dos locais visitados.

Muito boa e instrutiva , pois tínhamos um guia muito bom

Fantástico guia, com um conhecimento fora do comum. A experiência em Córdoba para mim foi excepcionalmente melhor com as histórias e orientações de Rabi ! Conheçam Córdoba com ele, não vão se arrepender!

We enjoyed Haim’s good company. He is knowledgeable about so many things and we asked many questions. He is passionate about the places he took us and we loved the tour.

Haim was a fantastic tour guide! We loved hearing about Cordobas Jewish history as we explored the city! And visiting the Mezquita was one of the highlights of our trip! Would highly recommend!

Originally built as a mosque in the late 8th century, in 10th century Cordoba Mosque was one of the largest mosque in the Islamic world at the time. After fall of Al-Andalus, mosque converted into a cathedral after 1236, La Mezquita beautifully merges Islamic hypostyle arches with Renaissance and Baroque Christian elements. About 850+ columns made from jasper, marble, granite, and porphyry support double-tiered red-and-white horseshoe arches—creating an almost infinite visual effect . Stunning mihrab and mosaic dome: The richly decorated prayer niche is a masterpiece of Islamic art and color. The Patio de los Naranjos provides a welcome pause in a courtyard framed with fragrant orange trees and fountains. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984 and widely ranked among Europe’s top monuments by international visitors.

An amazing trip with Haim! Haim knows so much about Andalucia, and shares his wisdom and knowledge with a lot of passion and enthousiasm. An exceptional experience! I recommend it for sure

Jaime was a personable guide who offered very interesting insights into the city’s history. He was very responsive and added a lot of colour which made for a very engaging few hours. He also gave us good pointers on restaurants and other places to visit. We highly recommend his tour. Anna and Andy

La visita con Haim estuvo llena de detalles no solo históricos, sino también sociales, culturales religiosos. Ha sido una invitación no solo a recorrer Córdoba sino a vivirla de primera mano, desde la experiencia de alguien que se siente identificado con su tierra y sus vivencias. Recorrimos el barrio de la judería, pasando por una explicación del porqué la Sinagoga de Córdoba representa algo más que unos metros cuadrados, atesora una transmisión de cientos de años y un testimonio de un pueblo que con el tiempo ha diluido su presencia física pero ha incrementado exponencialmente su influencia cultural. Haim, nos hizo recorrer el barrio de la Mezquita y nos explicó lo que allí acontecía y cómo discurre el hilo histórico entre visigodos, emires, califas y reyes católicos. Pausa en el puente romano para admirar las vistas del puente y de la Torre Calahorra, bajo un sol de media tarde que invitaba a la contemplación. Dirección luego el barrio de San Basilio, Casa del Judío con una invitación a adentrarse en los festines que allí se realizaban en la Córdoba exótica, más evocativa que fenómeno turístico. Un sefardí, reivindicando su pasado, cientos de años luego de haber sido expulsados de la península. Luego, inmersión cultural en medio de la preciosa terraza del antiguo convento de Santa Clara, a la sombra de sus parasoles y aprovechando del frescor del patio ahondamos en una conversación sobre estilos de vida y visiones de la trascendencia. Definitivamente recomendable.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE tour. Super friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. My tour with Haim was such a great experience, and I can’t recommend it enough

Haim is a wonderful guide and person. Simply meeting him will enhance your experience, but he is also deeply passionate and knowledgeable about Spain. I would highly recommend using him as a guide.

We spent 3 hours walking with Jaime getting a thorough and fascinating tour of Cordoba and its Jewish history. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and helped us travel through time to understand the layers of influence that make Cordoba a must see - especially with Jaime as your guide.

My partner and I spent 2 days with Haim Casas in Tangier and Tetouan (Morocco) mainly (but not totally) focusing on places of interest to Jews. He certainly knew his way around and had a deep knowledge of the history of the area. It was fascinating to see how the Muslim and Jewish populations coexisted and still seem to. He was good fun to be with and planned our itinerary well so we saw quite a range of different examples of Moroccan life.

Una experiencia fenomenal, muy enriquecedora, Jaime es un guía maravilloso, conoce perfectamente cada unos de los sitios y su historia, no veo la hora de visitar un nuevo destino con el,

Jaime is the most professional, knowledgable, kind, inspiring and passionate guide and Rav. Gracias Jaime! ✡️🙏🏻

Fascinating tour of the former Spanish Morocco with Haim Casas, a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. One of the best trips of my life.

It was a great experience to travel with this wonderful inspiring and competent guide. Humor and thoughtful knowledge is combined at a high level. I really recommend Rabbi Chaim 👍

Haim was incredibly informative and it was delightful to spend 3 intense days touring with him in Sevilla, Córdoba, Lucena and Priego. His personal sense of connection to the places we visited added depth. Highly recommend!

Thank you Haim, for all the authentic input that you brought with your personality, knowledge and experience as a guide, making this trip to a real success 🙏

Genial visita con Haim por la Córdoba judía, muy ameno y culto. Totalmente recomendable!

Jaime es un guía-rabino estupendo. Hace la visita guiada muy recomendable. Es un guía muy culto y alegre.

I had the most unforgettable experience touring Andalucía with Haim! From start to finish, every moment was filled with excitement, deep historical insights, and captivating storytelling. His passion for the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly brought each place to life. Haim’s tours are not only informative but also incredibly engaging and fun. He has a remarkable ability to weave fascinating anecdotes and little-known stories into the journey, making every stop feel like stepping into a living history book. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his deep knowledge ensures that no question goes unanswered. Whether it was wandering through ancient streets, discovering breathtaking landmarks, or simply enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Andalucía, Haim made sure every experience was meaningful and memorable. If you’re looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to create a magical, immersive tour, look no further: Haim is the absolute best ✨

Destacar a nuestro guía, con capacidad de oratoria y su conocimiento de historia, supo trasladarnos física y mentalmente a la época pasada y vida de Maimonides. Fue un acierto ser guiados por él . Shalom 🙏🏻

Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. La visita guiada rica en información. Fluida y formativa. El guía ha estado acertado y muy diafano en la información. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Excelente comunicador, perfecto conocedor de la historia y acontecimientos. Sabiendo transmitir de una manera fascinante. Muy recomendable.

Extraordinario. Además del gran conocimiento, el alma que le puso a la visita. Totalmente profesional

Maravillosa visita guiada por la Córdoba de Maimónides. Haim llenó de contenido histórico y curiosidades un paseo espectacular por la parte judía de esa maravillosa ciudad, en su día capital de occidente.

We had an extraordinary day!! Not only does he have a seemingly endless historical knowledge of Cordoba but he has a way of bringing the history alive. Plus, a great sense of humor that made the tour informative but also great fun. We have had many guides over the years, and would rate him among the best. Enjoy your tour with him!!

Haim is knowledgeable and has An engaging way of bringing history to life. We highly recommend him. We would tour with him again! Wendy and Danielle

Was a great tour of Cordoba which helped you understand the past and the present. Highly recommended

Extraordinaria jornada para profundizar en la historia judía de Córdoba. El guía demostró que conoce y siente la historia

El pasado sábado tuvimos el privilegio de pasar una tarde estupenda visitando la judería de Córdoba junto a este rabino tan fascinante, y peculiar; Haim Casas donde pudimos, con un poquito de imaginación, como él dice, adentrarnos en la España mudejar y conocer las costumbres y edificaciones judías con su historia, personajes y demás. Es un gran conocedor de la lengua, costumbres y religión, no solo judía, por lo que la visión fue enriquecedora y muy completa. Fueron dos horas y pico pero se pasó en un pis pas. Merece mucho la pena escucharle.

R Haim Casas hizo en un recorrido de tan sólo dos horas la mas completa exposición que he podido escuchar y ver sobre la Cordoba judia, ensamblandola con la historia del pueblo judío, con orden, y encajandola con el resto de religiones que convivieron, con respeto y conocimiento, y todo ello con una didáctica que hacía facil de entender conceptos y hechos complejos de exponer. Haim, enhorabuena y muchas gracias.

Beautiful quarter

La experiencia muy positiva, el guía Haim Casas muy ameno y con unos conocimientos históricos importantes. Muy recomendable la visita por la Córdoba judía

Magnífico guía, ameno y profundo a la vez, culto y simpático!!!

Una inmersión en la Córdoba judia, como antes nunca nos lo habían contado. Fue sencillamente sensacional. Se agradece bastante ese enfoque holístico cultural y de sentido común del maestro Haim Casas. Muy recomendable.

Excelente guia

Muy interesante, genial como guía

Experiencia muy positiva. El guía, sensacional, por la forma de comunicar, con unos conocimientos fantásticos y persona muy erudita, en la materia.

Me pareció un guía excelente y aprendí muchas cosas sobre mi ciudad que no conocía.

Un recorrido emocionante por la Córdoba judía, muy ilustrado, ameno, con la profundidad de quién conoce a fondo la historia y el alma judía. Gracias, Jaime, por compartirlo.

Una espléndida mañana visitando la ruta judia en Córdoba, dirigida magistralmente por Jaim Casas.Gracias por todo lo que nos has enseñado.

Extraordinària ruta por la Còrdoba judía. FANTÁSTICO guía. Gracias Haim

Highly recommendable! R. Haim is so friendly and has lots of knowledge about Córdoba's history in general and its Jewish heritage in particular

Being guided by Rabbi Haim Casas was one of the best experiences I have had in all of my travels around the world. Not only is the depth of his knowledge so vast and profound but his personal story to the region of Andalusia and hearing about his journey was absolutely captivating. I cannot wait to come back and visit and continue learning more with him. I also am very thankful to have seen his VIRTUAL TOURS as well because now I do not have to wait for an in-person visit.... I can travel with Rabbi Haim from the comfort of my very own home. Kudos Rabbi Haim to you and the great work that you continue to do!

The best jewish tour in Cordoba. High recommended 👌 Chaim its THE precious stone of the crow of Cordoba. Chaim doing a beautiful jewish project 💙 in Cordoba. The tour it's a great opportunity to know mor about the great jewish history and to know a beautiful person. 😍 The jewish history of Cordoba its rich but need some one to tell it, sadly 😥 not much left. So enjoy the opportunity and be in touch with our beautiful Rabbi.

Rabbi Haim es más que un experto en el tema, es un repositorio de información e historia sobre los judíos y judioconversos en Córdoba y lo presenta todo de manera asequible y sumamente interesante. Durante el tour, entremezcla anécdotas personales con los hechos históricos para darle esa calidez y ese toque humano que hace que su tour sea de lo mejor que puedes hacer en Córdoba.

Rabbi Haim Casas was terrific. Spending time with him in Cordoba was the highlight of our trip to Spain! Highly recommended.

je viens de faire un parcours de 3 jours inoubliables a Seville et Cordoue. Lbampurcde l Andalousie et l'érudition qu'Haim partage avec nous, fait que nous ressortons eblouis apre4s ce voyage . A vivre absolument Gratitude gilberte

Je rentre d'un voyage de 4 jours sur "les pas de mes ancêtres séfarades" organisé par la Maison du Judaïsme Libéral de Toulouse , ma communauté .sous la houlette de notre Rabbin Haim Casas. Ce fut une grande réussite un séjour fort en émotions intense très bien organisé tant d'un point de vue culturel que pratique... un seul regret qu'il ne dure pas plus longtemps...la découverte de l'Andalousie "du côté juif" l'aurait mérité!"

Rabbi Haim Casas led our tour in Sevilla. We toured the area around the Cathedral, the Real Alcazar and the old Jewish quarter. Rabbi Casas is very knowledgeable about the history of Spain, and Jewish history in Spain. The tour made this history tangible, describing events where they happened, noting artistic and architectural aspects. The tour was not an overview, but an exploration of history and culture, which also helped us understand more about other areas in Spain (Cordoba, Toledo). The experience was compelling, and has kindled a desire to learn more.

Haim Casais was wonderfully engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We spent a wonderful day learning about the Jewish History of Cordoba. We highly recommend him!

My daughter and took a private tour of Cordoba with Haim. We learned a lot as well as enjoyed the tour very much. Haim is very knowledgeable on the subject, very passionate about it and is a good story teller, We would recommend this tour and would do it again when the opportunity arrives. Thank you, Haim!!!

Chaime is one of the best guides I’ve ever had. His knowledge about all things Jewish and all things Andalusian is immense and he’s a joy to be around. And to top it all off, his style is impeccable. Would highly recommend if you are ever in Cordoba.

Haim is an amazing guide!! Really enjoyed my time in Spain with him.

Had such a great tour with Haim! Took me and the big group I was with all around Cordoba, where he taught us so much about the beautiful city and also offered such great company!!!! Would definitely contact Haim if I visit Cordoba again and recommend him to any friends traveling to Spain!

הרב חיים הוא מדריך מקומי של קורדובה, ובכללי יש לו ידע נרחב על כל ספרד! הוא הדריך אותנו לשבוע בקורדובה, גרנאדה, טולדו ומדריד. חיים פורח בשמחת חיים, שמח לשתף הרבה ידע במהלך הדרכים והיו לו תשובות וגיוון דעות בכח נושא ששאלו עליו. ממליץ ביום רב, תהיו מוכנים להרפתקה! Tabbi Haim was our tour guide for a week. He’s a local of Cordova but also knows a ton about all of Spain! He’s full of positive energy, had a lot to say and had lots of answers to questions. Highly recommended!

La visita estuvo muy, pero que muy bien. Fue interesante, original en los contenidos y muy entretenida. ¡Repetiré la experiencia!

Indudablemente la mejor manera de conocer la Córdoba judía y el famoso barrio de la Judería.

I have been to Spain on nearly 10 occasions with Haim Casas, touring with groups of university students from the US. Haim is not only one of the most outstanding tour guides I have ever encountered, but also one of the most interesting, kind, intelligent, and engaging people I have ever met. Haim’s knowledge of the Jewish history of Spain is second to none!!! No trip to Spain would be complete without Haim’s careful planning of all the details. Frankly, there’s no one better than Haim Casas!!!

Hain led us all around Cordoba’s old city and was knowledgeable about Jewish, Muslim and Christian sites. He knows Cordoba inside and out and peppers the tour with interesting anecdotes. We were focused on the Jewish history of cordoba and he was able to answer all questions and provide a real sense of the different types of Jewish communities that lived in Cordoba over the centuries. Top recommendation!

Many thanks for showing us around the city! I cannot imagine a guide that has more passion and love for Córdoba than Haim who knows every single corner of it. We are truly grateful. Expect us to return!

Phenomenal! Haim has amazing knowledge, his own roots are deep in Sefard, his heart is in showing Judaism and Jewish Cordoba to all interested ( Jews and non-Jews). He is a truly nice young man too. Wonderfully enjoyable time. Thank you very much❣

Touring with Rabbi Haim Casas was a real celebration. I had the opportunity to experience a full day with him. I treasure his knowledge and caring. We also celebrated a memorable Shabbat dinner with our group.

La mejor experiencia en cordoba

Haim is a wonderful guide, with a lot of knowledge of the history of the city as well as the jewish community which lived in it. He had great recommendations for us in addition to the very insightful tour! Haim's personal connection and passion to the subject is apparent. Thanks for a wonderful time :)

Haim Casas Profundo conocedor de la juderia de Cordoba y lo que es mas importante el estilo tan esprcial de dus guias ממליצה בחום לסייר בקורדובה עם מומחה ובעל חן רב!מר חיים קסס,לא לפספס@

Our family had an incredible tour with Chaim - we really got an in depth understanding of Cordoba’s history & significance. It was great for our entire family!

Sin duda el mejor amfitrión para entrar en la Córdoba judia. Gracias Haim!

Hemos visitado la antigua Judería de Sevilla guiados por Haim. Nos explicó con detalle su historia además de la transformación que ha sufrido a lo largo de los siglos. Todo ello acompañado de anécdotas curiosas y leyendas populares que dan un encanto especial a los lugares. Una visita muy interesante con un guía excepcional.

Une visite de Séville et de Cordoue très intéressante par un guide passionné.

Haim is an incredible guide and makes the whole experience unforgettable. Totally recommend it

He realizado un tour con ellos y puedo asegurar que tiene una calidad excelente, además de poner pasión y cuidar a los participantes para que se involucren y aprendan con el corazón. Deseando seguir sus nuevas rutas e itinerarios.

The tour was great and informative. Our tour guide, Haim, is an excellent guide. He was able to keep both the English and Spanish speakers informed and engaged with historical facts, with some humor, as well. Recommend it 100% :-)

Nous avons passé un moment inoubliable en compagnie de Haim qui est un guide exceptionnel et qui nous a fait découvrir ça région, l'Andalousie.

Súper experience avec Haim. Il vous fera decouvir chaque coin de l’Andalousie. Connaître l’Andalousie avec quelqu’un comme lui c’est une expérience inoubliable

Très bonne expérience! À refaire sans doute!
