Fernando is amazing and I love Malaga!!!!
kimnwogu, May 2024
Fernando was our tour guide and he was exceptionally perfect! He made us fall in love with the city of Malaga and Spain! He was so knowledgeable and so personable. My brother and I were late and it was pouring rain and he was so patient with us and directed us into the right place. Then he welcomed us and made us feel right at home and caught us up on everything. The tour gave us a good feel on the city of Malaga and it was amazing. The food was amazing. Word of advice also, do not eat anything before this tour because I was stuffed! You will have plenty to eat and drink. I would definitely do this tour over and over again especially with Fernando!
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Kim, We're so glad to read you enjoyed the tour with Fernando! We agree he's a great guide, we're lucky to have him. And indeed, better not eat too much before the tour starts -there's plenty of food! Thanks for the review. Cheers!
Exceptional tapas tour in historic Malaga centre.
Richard_S, Apr 2024
Our guide Fernando was fantastic. He was very good at communicating with everyone in our group of 13. He has great knowledge of the city, traditions, customs, and food, which he openly shared over our 4+ hour tour to several eateries, including the fantastic City Market. We were all full, sampling multiple food and drink options. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to get a great taste of what Malaga has to offer.

Jen_L, Apr 2024
Elise was a wonderful guide, very friendly, easy to be around, and offered up interesting history of the area along with the food and drinks at each stop. We felt that it was a nice selection and variety of food/drinks/purveyors throughout, and we most certainly did not leave hingry! A pleasant and delicious way to get to know Málaga a little bit more.

Best Food Tasting Tour Ever
Dennis_S, Apr 2024
This was a great tour! There were only twelve of us and Javi our guide met us on time and introduced himself to each of us personally. Then he proceeded to lead us to the city market where we stopped at several stalls to taste various meats and nuts and wines. He joyfully explained each tasting answering all questions in a light but informative way. We then proceeded to three restaurants where we tasted a variety of different local dishes. We all enjoyed the tour thoroughly and departed full and well informed about the cuisine of Malaga. I give Javi my highest rating since he gave us the best food tasting tour I have ever experienced. I strongly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Dennis, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with other travellers. We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour, and we will forward the kind words to Javi! Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you again on your next visit. Cheers!

Terrific Tapas Tour
Natalie_M, Mar 2024
Our guide, Javi, did an excellent job highlighting the unique cuisine of Malaga. He carefully explained each food/beverage and provided background information as well. We spent time in the market, a butcher shop and restaurants. One of the restaurants had an amazing view of the cathedral. At the end of the tour, we left with full stomachs and a better understanding of the city of Malaga. Our family would definitely recommend this informative (and delicious!) tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Natalie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you and your family had a good time! Be sure to visit us again on your next trip to Spain! All the best,
Excellent tour
Angus_P, Mar 2024
Fernando was a most engaging guide and a proper foodie. Lively and colourful market tour followed by a stroll with stops for food and drink. A definite highlight of our stay in Malaga.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hi Angus, Thank you for your kind feed back! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour with Fernando. We hope to have you on another tour soon ! Saludos!!
Excellent food tour!
Karen_D, Mar 2024
Javi was a great guide. He was great at explaining all of the food as well as very engaging to talk to. There were 5 in our family, including one teenager, and we all loved trying new food and drinks. The food was excellent and the variety was outstanding. I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite food as they were all so good. I’d highly recommend the tour and Javi as the guide.

Excellent food tour, Fernando brought the food, wine and location to life, with his history and knowledge, very good tour. Would have been nice if there was a little sweet food to end the tour.

A brilliant taste of Malaga, loved it!!
jacqueline_h, Mar 2024
This wine and food tour made our short trip to Malaga extra special - it was just brilliant, and excellent value. Philippe our guide was amazing - as a local, he knew all the history and background to both the food and wine and the establishments we visited - which were obviously carefully selected and superb. There were 8 guests on the tour - a perfect number. This tour is to be highly recommended to anyone who loves good food and wine - but be warned, the tour info said 'come hungry' and you certainly need to! Fabulous, thanks Philippe!
Response from Host, May 2024
We're so glad to read you enjoyed the tour! We agree, better not eat too much before the tour starts -there's plenty of food! Thanks for the great review. Cheers!
