Mini cars around Malga

Great way to see Malaga, Spain. Gets and her partner did a wonderful job guiding us through the city while giving us a play by play of how this Mediterranean town operates. The mini cars were easy to drive and it was easy to stay together as we traversed the town.

Fun time!

We really enjoyed this excursion. The cars were sitting right at the port when we got off of the ship. Was fun driving the little electric cars around the city and seeing the sites. The cave was really neat and a fun time. Beautiful views through out the day! Would definitely recommend!

So much fun!

This was such a fun tour! We absolutely loved it. Malaga was beautiful, the cars were easy to operate and the tour guide even helped us navigate through traffic (there are walkie talkies and GPS navigation in each car so you can follow the tour guide), and the cave and views were a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended!...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! An Unforgettable Experience in Málaga I recently took the “Discover the Treasure Cave: Unique Electric Car Tour in Málaga” and it was one of the best tours I’ve done in Spain! From the moment we hopped into the sleek, silent electric car, I knew this was going to be special. No noisy engine, just smooth gliding through the beautiful streets and scenic roads of Málaga with the fresh sea breeze – it felt wonderfully eco-friendly and futuristic. Our guide was fantastic – knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about the local history. The highlight was definitely exploring the Treasure Cave. What an incredible hidden gem! The cave itself is stunning, with sparkling formations and fascinating legends that our guide brought to life. The electric car made it easy to reach spots that would be tricky otherwise, and we got to enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and city that most tourists miss. Everything was perfectly organized: comfortable ride, great pacing, and even some delicious local tapas included at the end. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers who want something unique instead of the standard bus tours. If you’re in Málaga (or nearby like Fuengirola), do yourself a favor and book this tour. It’s fun, memorable, and you’ll leave with amazing photos and stories. 10/10 – I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended! 🚗✨

Great fun and unexpected!

The tour was really fun and interesting. The description makes it sound like you take the electric car through the caves, that is not accurate. You drive the cute car to the caves and then are left on your own using an app on your phone to get a good description of what you are seeing. There is a considerable amount of walking on rough, uneven, damp ground with a lot of steps. I do not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. That being said, it still was an amazing place to visit. The insides of the cave are totally unexpected and beautiful. There is a stunning underground lake, that is amazing. Definitely a great and unique experience. In addition a tour around town was included on the drive that really gave us a feel for the area layout. Great concept with the cute cars, they offer tours as well using the cars. The guides in the lead car were really nice and knowledgeable.

Plus you got to drive your own electric mini car. That’s the fun part that we chose this tour guide.

Loved this! So fun and informative

Fantastic day out 5⭐️ The attention to detail was next level. Very informative, but not too much boring information. No script - it was adjusted based on interests and questions we asked. And nipping around the city in these cars was so much fun. They feel brand new, very comfortable and easy to drive. Sat nav in the vehicle with a GPS tour guide was a lovely touch. But Gemma and her husband are on the walkie talkie constantly giving local insights and lots of information. The caves were beautiful, and despite already doing a bike tour the day before, we got to see so many bits of the city and local towns you we hadn’t yet experienced. Worth every penny.
