The free and pay-what-you-want walking tours in Cordoba listed here from GuruWalk and freetour.com, in English or Spanish: 26 walks, 26 of them with a full page on this site. This is not every walk on either platform: listings that state no language, or run in other languages, are left out. 4 listings have no published rating and show "Too few reviews for a score yet".
Nothing matches those filters. Clear a choice or switch district and the walks come back.
Almost every walk in this directory lives on GuruWalk, with the remainder on freetour.com. Independent local guides run all of them on a pay-what-you-want basis, and this site operates none of them and is owned by neither platform, though it earns a referral commission when you book through its links. You reserve on the guide's own page and pay nothing up front.

What Pay-What-You-Want Really Means
Every walk listed here is free to reserve through the guide's own listing on GuruWalk or freetour.com. The guiding itself carries no fixed charge. At the end of the walk, each participant gives the guide whatever amount they choose and that gratuity is the guide's pay. No amount is printed on this page because none exists: the price of guiding is set by the walker, not by the guide or the platform. Walks marked with an additional cost, among them the Medina Azahara walks and the patio walks, involve site or courtyard entry bought separately. The guiding itself stays pay what you want.
Walks That Run In Spanish Only
Many walks here run in Spanish only. On GuruWalk these include the Altournative Complete Tour, 2 Hours, the Max 8 People Free Tour by Sergio, and both Medina Azahara walks, by Paseando Por Europa and CORDOBA. The patio walks by CORDOBA and Paseando Por Europa, and the night walks, including Enrique's Luminosa tour, are Spanish only too. So is the Camino de Santiago route from Plaza de la Corredera. On the Medina Azahara and patio walks, site or courtyard entry is bought separately. Other walks in this directory run in English or bilingually.
How The Spanish Language Walks Work
Is There A Fee To Join A Walk?
No. Every walk in this directory works on a pay what you want basis, so there is no fixed fee to join or to reserve. A few walks carry extra costs stated on their own pages: Medina Azahara entry, free for accredited EU citizens and EUR 1.50 for others, plus courtyard entry on the patio walks. Those tickets are bought separately at the venue and never through this site.
How Do You Book A Place?
Reservations go through the guide's own page. Follow a walk's link to GuruWalk, or to the freetour.com listing for Historic Center Free Tour, Monumental Free Tour and Flowers Courtyards Tour. This directory operates no tours and takes no bookings, so every reservation, availability question and change of plan happens on the platform with the guide directly.
What Should The Guide Be Given?
Whatever tip you decide. Pay what you want guiding means each walker hands the guide a gratuity at the end, and nothing is collected when you reserve. This site states no typical or suggested figure, since neither the guides nor GuruWalk and freetour.com set one. Where a walk has extras, such as Medina Azahara or courtyard entry, that payment goes to the venue, not to the guide's platform.
