Explore Cordoba your way At ToursByLocals, we believe that how you explore is just as important as where you go. That’s why every Cordoba tour is private, flexible, and built around you: Move at your own pace, skip the crowds, make connections and follow your curiosity. Find local guides offering private tours in Cordoba for every interest, including: Nature and Wildlife tours: Hike Quebrada del Condorito National Park to a condor lookout with your guide timing it for thermals, or go birding at Mar Chiquita near Miramar to see flamingos and shorebirds from quiet hides. These nature and wildlife tours can add a swim in a Sierras stream and a roadside stop for a classic cordobés alfajor. Layover tours: Get picked up at Pajas Blancas Airport, stash your bags in the vehicle, and do a focused circuit of the Jesuit Block, Plaza San Martín, and the Cathedral, then swing through Nueva Córdoba for the Paseo del Buen Pastor and a quick choripán on the Costanera. Your guide keeps an eye on timing and traffic so you’re back at the terminal with time to spare. City highlights tours: Cover the essentials with a private walk of the Manzana Jesuítica (UNESCO), the Cabildo, and the Cathedral, then continue to the colourful Güemes district for murals and the Paseo de las Artes craft stalls if it’s a weekend. Many city highlights tours wrap with local flavours at Mercado Norte or a Fernet‑and‑cola tasting. The historic centre is easy to walk, and city buses reach most areas, but routes can be slow and tricky for visitors; you can book chauffeured tours or ask your local guide for tours with private transportation to maximise time. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all itinerary, you can tailor your private tour to match your interests, pace and personality with a local who knows Cordoba inside and out.
