What are people saying about Malaga

Denise_M, May 2026

Christin was lovely very...

Christin was lovely very informative and great bubbly personality. However we followed the meeting place directions to the T and they weren’t correct. It took us to the wrong end of the road and therefore we missed our 12.30 tour. Nobody had heard of Viator we spoke to tourist information to tour guides that we did see and many tourists as well. We spoke to Georgina (I think was her name) but she was not able to help direct us as she didn’t know Malaga location. She booked us onto the 5pm tour but it wasn’t what we wanted. I received a WhatsApp message from Christin which came through literally as we were finishing our tour at 6.30pm. We should have received this first thing in the morning THEN we would have been standing in the correct part of the road at 12.15 ready not at the other end. We explained to Christin about our 12.30 booking and incorrect direction details and she said “ Lots of people say the same” !!!!!! This is not good Viator!!!! I have used you for trips before in other cities and this time I was very disappointed and as a consequence of then having to hang around all day to do our tour the car parking costs went up to Euros 15.90. So I’d like Viator to compensate me with the price of one member of my party please. I look forward to hearing from you asap

Efficient way to visit these incredible cities

Tour was an easy way to get to these remote cities from Malaga. Bus was clean and comfortable. Guide was knowledgeable and gave general information on the bus. We did not do guided tour of Ronda. Note that bus drops you off 15-20 minutes walk from major tourist areas. Timing of tour gave us plenty of time to see what we wanted to see.

Excellent value - great trip

The entire tour was well worth the money. It was well organized - the tour guide, Anna, was excellent & the bus driver was experienced & safe. It was so much easier than trying to do the trip ourselves. The Caminito del Rey tour was, of course, wonderful as well, with very informative guides. We had a truly great day.

Informative and entertaining experience

Easy pick-up in Málaga and interesting commentary from Sacha on minibus journey to vineyard in Mijas countryside. Tasted wine and olive oil while learning about the vines. Main tasting took place in the production setting in an industrial area. Each wine was explained and accompanied by tapas. It was all great fun and very informative.

Malaga Tour with Cathedral, Alcazaba and Roman Theatre

Phillip_T, Apr 2026

Excellent historical tour

This was a very interesting and educational tour of the Cathedral and fortress in Malaga. The history of the past centuries was discussed including how different tribes/races thrived or fell over the years. The history of the Roman Theatre was very interesting as well as the fortress. The views from the top were magnificent and it was easy to imagine the fort from the 11 th Century. The tour of the Cathedral was also nice and we gained more knowledge of the religion and architecture of the church and various sculptures and paintings. Well worth the mo money and Daniel and his worker in training were excellent.

Full Day Guided Malaga Ronda Day Tour

Tesy_P, Apr 2026

Setenil de las Bodegas and Ronda

This trip was excellent. I learned about the very interesting history of both towns. Setenil de las bodegas was very interesting even though it was a very cold and foggy morning, I enjoyed it immensely. Ronda was also very nice. I enjoyed listening to the history of this town. Orson Wells loved Ronda so much that he requested to have his ashes spreaded at a farm he spent his time at. Ernest Hemingway was a frequent visitor to Ronda as well Japanese painter Miki Haruta spent his last days there painting the mountains and an urn with his is at the place where painted at at the end of his life. I highly recommend this tour.

Morocco: Tangier Private Tour from Malaga & Tarifa, All Inclusive

Katherine_B, Apr 2026

Absolutely perfect day in Tangier

This tour could not have been better. It was everything, from beautiful photo ops, to riding a camel, to lots of interesting history, beautiful and low-pressure shopping opportunities, to the most amazing feast for lunch. But the real clincher was when I left my jacket in the van in Tangier. The next day in Malaga it was returned to me—an operation that involved the driver in Tangier, someone to bring it across on the ferry, and a special delivery in Spain at my hotel. An unbelievable effort for a lost jacket. I cannot recommend this group highly enough. I had the time of my life.

Cordoba Day Trip : A Journey Through History from Malaga

Nicole_C, Mar 2026

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.

Guided Tour to Caminito del Rey from Malaga

Kimberly_C, Mar 2026

This was a great way to...

This was a great way to see the Caminito del Rey! Our trail guide, Maria, was a delight and we got so much more out of the walk than we would have without a guide. Janet, our guide on the bus, was really clear and informative and our bus driver was terrific. This was a highlight of our Malaga stay.
