What are people saying about Malaga

Sally_Y, May 2026

Our guide was incredible!...

Our guide was incredible! She walked us through the town, explaining the history of Malaga as we ventured out to taste traditional food at various places. The market and restaurants provided a wide variety of food and wine. Our group stayed together after the tour ended to enjoy another bottle of wine. We cannot say enough about our guide. She was wonderful!

From Malaga Caminito del Rey Guided Tour with transportation

Robert_T, May 2026

Lots of fun

Awesome experience Lots of walking and breath taking scenery Ana the Viator bus tour made it fun. Tina the Camineto del Rey tour guide was awesome and very informative. We had an awesome experience. If you have bad knees and afraid of heights... Think twice.

Discover Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas in a Day from Málaga

Kelsey_E, May 2026

Sentinel de bodegas & Ronda

This was a great experience, would highly recommend! Our guide Nila was very informative. The bus was very clean and comfortable & had AC. Both towns were amazing to explore with so much to see. You have the option to stay with the guide or explore on your own. They offer an interactive map of places to see and how to get back to the bus. They do leave on time from each place so make sure you are back at the bus in time or they will leave you. Both places were beautiful with so many places to explore.

Alcazaba Malaga Guided Tour

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

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.

Malaga Wine & Tapas Small Group Guided Tour

Amanda_D, Apr 2026

Excellent Wine and Tapas Experience

The tour is beautifully organised, starting at the most historic wine producer and bar in Malaga and then winding it's way through the historic centre with stops to learn about and enjoy the wine and tapas typical of the area. Our host Felipe shared his iknowledge and nfectious enthusiasm for the wine and food of the area resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable evening with like minded travellers.

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.

Dolphin Sightseeing Boat Tour from Benalmadena

Lisa_L, Apr 2026

Special dolphin 🐬 trip.

Absolutely amazing trip from start to finish. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see dolphins in the wild, especially on a stormy, rainy day - but we did! And it was so special 🥹. Lovely boat and welcoming staff and a great bar on board also. Very reasonable for one of the best experiences ever. Dolphins were just beautiful and we saw a whole pod! Two came right up the boat and we got some great photos. Would highly recommend this trip for all ages! We will be doing it again with our children when we next visit Benalmadena.

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.

Caminito del Rey Day Trip from Costa del Sol

JenMaree_T, Mar 2026

Wowed by the Caminito :D

As I was only the second collection for the day, it was a long gap to arriving at the coffee stop, but I was aware of this, and patient with the process. It does, however, make for a long day from Fuengirola (or similar area). There was a friendly greeting from Samir (driver) and Benjamin (guide) and lots of interesting information on the drive, which also continued on the walk itself. The section to the start was a bit longer than expected, but a good indication of the terrain for the day. Once on the platforms, it's .just WOW! And kept getting wower (if that's a word). Everything feels solid, railings are containing and there is a wire on the cliff if you need a safety touch. The gaps between the boards are obvious, so it could be triggering if worried about heights. We had beautiful weather, with blue skies and cool breeze, not too many groups - I definitely wouldn't choose to do it in summer. I actually found the end section the most challenging - quite a few stairs, narrow treads and inclines and then steepish downhill to the picnic area. I was proud I had done it, but I didn't have a lot left in the tank. A cool beer revived my spirits before the drive home, with more excellent commentary from Benjamin. Well worth the money and a very smooth operation.
