A Very Rewarding Experience- Recommended

Andrew_d, May 2024

Paco, our guide, was a master. Although we were lost on the way to the meeting spot, he graciously made adjustments with the group and we proceeded to have a great outing in Malaga. He is a native of the city, knowledgeable in European history, art and architecture, and obviously a senior, well-known professional guide. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, especially with the two restaurant tapas lunch.

Sites and history good, food not so much.

Lynn_B, May 2024

The history part of the tour was great. The food part was disappointing. The sites were pretty amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history and had a passion for teaching. He did not seem very knowledgeable about the food and there was little to no explanation as to when and why different foods became part of this culture. The food itself was fine but no better than fine. It seems virtually certain that the restaurants were selected solely based on personal relationships and kickbacks alone. We understand that kickbacks are part of how tours operate but we've done numerous food tours throughout the world and all of the others seemed to have prioritized top quality food, history, and atmosphere.

Great experience in beautiful Malaga

Carmen_B, May 2024

Our guide, Isabel, was very knowledgeable. She shared great information about the history of the city and landmarks but what I loved most was her pointing out little things along our route. Doing the Walking tour and then sitting down for Tapas and drinks was ideal!!

Very informative and great Tapas

Ralph_S, May 2024

Veronica was very informative about the sites we saw and also a great lady to chat and have fun with during our two stops for tapas after visiting the castle, Roman theater, and cathedral. Only 8 people on tour and well worth the money

Excellent tour

Stephen_O, May 2024

There were only 6 of us, which was ideal. Damian was a superb guide and we learnt a lot about the area and the history as well as the areas of the Cathedral and Alcazabar we would otherwise have missed. The Tapas were also excellent and a great way to finish the tour. Highly recommended.

The best day of my 2 week transatlantic cruise so far !

Jessie_G, May 2024

La Mantequita cathedral was amazing and beautiful. Alcazaba was very interesting, Roman amphitheater was cool. Lots of history all around in Malaga. And the food was delicious ! Beatriz was a fantastic guide. Ask for her !

Good day

David_S, May 2024

Was a good mix of learning and being social with others. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the taps were great!

Make Sure To Book This Tour!!!

Patricia_S, Apr 2024

This was an excellent experience and I want to thank our guide. It was personalized ( we had 8 people) and very informative. Our guide is the son of the owner of the company and was very knowledgable and personable. The tour of Malaga was great and we got to skip the longs lines for entrances. The highlight was the 2 tapas restaurants. They were both absolutely delicious with upscale food and drink. I more than highly recommend this event!

Vino and Tapas with a Spectacular tour

Michael_B, Apr 2024

Daiman was our guide. We wove through the side streets of Malaga, so full of history and candy for the eyes. Our trip up to Alcazaba was nothing short of spectacular. The thought that this place was “recycled” as Daiman put it, having parts of each invader for over 3 thousand years. And our guide knew each part, knowledgeably explaining the columns and how they used the blocks from the old Roman amphitheater, the Moorish influences and even the details of the dungeons disguised as a holes but so much more. The views from the top were fabulous. And he knew what to point out, he knows his city. Then we toured quaint little restaurants where we sampled Vino and Tapas, so much that I would consider moving here, it was so good. Go, visit, learn and enjoy.

A wonderful Day in Malaga!

Toni_B, Apr 2024

Malaga is a breathtakingly beautiful city! The tour was amazing and our tour guide Damien was outstanding! Anyone considering this tour should be aware, however that there is quite a bit of walking uphill. Otherwise book and enjoy!

Great food and history

John_C, Apr 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. Damien was our guide and he really did a great job explaining the history of the city. The second half of the tour was dedicated to trying tapas at a couple of different places and the food was excellent.

10/10 would recommend

Grace_G, Feb 2024

This tour was one of the highlights of my family’s trip to Andalucía. Damien was an excellent guide, and the entire experience was seamless. The food was great, the history was fascinating, and the length of the tour was perfect to center our day around.

Great tour!

Erika_P, Feb 2024

Damien is an excellent guide. He provided exceptional history information and we enjoyed local cuisine.

Definitely pick this tour.

John_K, Feb 2024

Such an informative ,enthusiastic and charming guide. .I would wholeheartedly recommend the tour (and tour guide) to friends. He brought Malaga alive for us.

Perfect way to experience Málaga

MaryAnne_L, Jan 2024

Extremely charming guide with 20+ years of experience. This was the perfect blend of history and food!

Top tapas tour

Craig_N, Jan 2024

Paco was our guide and couldn't have been more interesting and knowledgeable plus he seemed to know everyone in town. We can’t recommend this tour with Paco high enough. The tapas places he took us to were great, friendly with plenty of good food and wine.

Fabulous Tour

Mary_H, Jan 2024

Our guide, Paco was wonderful. Very informative and the tour was a great combination of history, culture and food/wine. Would recommend to everyone.

Paco was great.

Willie_R, Dec 2023

The tour was fabulous. Paco was knowledgeable and personable.He taught us a lot about the city and the city landmarks. The food was excellent. He assisted us by taking family photos for us. This was one of the best experiences I have had since I have been traveling.

Paco is the best in Malaga.

Dean_M, Dec 2023

Paco was amazing. Fantastic guide. The wine…the food…all absolutely delicious. And we are foodies and into great red wines. Treated us like family and was extremely accommodating. I am sold on Malaga.

Great!

Kathy_Q, Dec 2023

What a great tour. There was just 4 of us on this tour. We went to the highlights. The tapas were plentiful as well as the wine.
