Wonderful day out from Malaga.
The trip to Cordoba was exactly as described. Our tour guide, Sara, made the bus ride interesting. We had the self-guided tour, allowing us 5 hours to explore Cordoba on our own, which gave us enough time to see the sights that interested us, enjoy a relaxing lunch, and take a walk by the river. If doing the self-guided tour, purchase your Mezquita tickets in advance, as time slots do sell out. It took about 2 hours to get to Cordoba from Malaga with a bathroom / coffee break on the way. 1.5 hours back, as there was no break, so also be sure to use the bathroom before leaving Cordoba. Overall a wonderful day trip.

Gibraltar day trip from Malaga
We enjoyed the experience and were lucky to have a sunny day that wasn’t too windy. Be prepared to do a lot of walking—the bus drops you in Spain and you need to walk across an airport tarmac to reach Gibraltar. Our guide was very good. However, the tour company falsely advertised that there were 3 options for traveling up “the rock”: hiking, in “rock taxis” (vans with a guide), and a cable car. We went in March 2026 and learned the cable car was closed for renovations and would not be available for several more years. You need to pay separately from the tour to summit the rock, regardless of which option you choose. We recommend the vans with guides—we were able to meet the monkeys, explore caves, and visit a fascinating WWII British military tunnel system in the caves.

Malaga tapas tour
The tapas tour was a wonderful adventure. Elise was an exceptional guide who did a fantastic job pointing out local landmarks and explaining the influence of Muslim culture on the city’s architecture. Her knowledge of the city’s history added great depth to the experience. The tour also introduced us to a variety of local foods that I likely would never have tried on my own. It was a delightful way to explore both the culture and cuisine of the city.

A must do experience!
Very well organized tour. We were a large group of about 50 but once we arrived at Caminito del Rey we were split up into groups of 26 for our hike. Our guide Maria (Maiky) was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and her sense of humour kept us entertained.
The walk itself was very manageable and we felt safe at all times. We recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour. Tour...
Wonderful tour. Tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun.
Earbuds would have been helpful as surrounding noise (other guides and school kids) sometimes made hearing hard. But nothing to do with guide's voice, she was great.
Highly recommend this tour!

Ronda is well worth a visit
Thoroughly recommend this trip to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas.
We were picked up at the designated place, on the roadside by number 10 Av. de Andalucía. Our guide Pepe and driver Jesus were great. Pepe kept us entertained with interesting commentary on our journey. He spoke fluently in Spanish and English which I welcomed as I'm learning spanish.
First stop was Setenil de las Bodegas, with fascinating dwellings and restaurants built under the cliff. Pepe gave us directions to the best viewpoint.
Ronda was a lovely town, with a very high bridge and gardens overlooking an outstanding view! Such a pretty and vibrant town.
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip with the operator Visitanddo.com, booked through Viator who we find very reliable - used 4 times so far in Spain and Greece!

Amazing day in Tangier
Our private Tangier tour was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and incredibly professional. We genuinely felt like VIP guests the entire time.
It was just my mom and me, so we were a little hesitant at first about booking a private tour. Looking back, it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. We felt comfortable, safe, and very well taken care of throughout the entire day.
Our guide was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Tangier. They made the whole experience feel personal, relaxed, and very special.
We had an absolutely blissful time exploring the city and learning so much along the way. I warmly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tangier. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Wine & Tapas Malaga
Had a great evening exploring a number of bars and restaurants with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, Felipe. Tour was well organised but relaxed and learnt more about the local wines and food. As we walked between the four venues, Felipe told us about the city and some of the main sights. We were made very welcome at all the places we visited and Felipe had organised and ordered a range of tapas and wines for us to try. Had a very enjoyable evening and can really recommend whether you’re in a group or travelling solo. Felipe made sure everyone was included and got a great experience.

Best walking experience
We were with Niko the English guide in our caminito. He is amazing and funny. Lots of good to know facts and humor. It was fun walking did not realize time went by so quick. My only recommendation is for our bus to have the name of the guide and bus driver so we wont get lost.

Engaging and informative
Lucia was a great guide, she seemed genuinely interested in the history of Spain and Andalucia, and had a very interesting and engaging way of telling it. The tour took us all over the Alcazaba, with further tips on what to see and not from there. The tour ended inside, so you can roam
about and explore on your own after. Fascinating!

Wonderful experience
Despite the inclement weather, we had a wonderful experience visiting Sentil de las Bodegas and Ronda. Our guide was very informative, approachable, and happy to answer questions. The restaurant recommendations provided for our free time were excellent and really enhanced the visit.

Beautiful long walk through the mountains
Really beautiful experience of the famous "King' pathway" with very interesting historical stories from our Spanish and English guide! Conveniently picked up and dropped off by a great experienced bus driver. Suspended bridge over the cliff was the most adrenaline driving thing!
