From Malaga Caminito del Rey Guided Tour with transportation

Claudette_L, May 2026

Most beautiful work of nature

This was a magnificent walking hike of 3.5 hours with a tour guide through wooden walkways and forest paths. The main challenge is the high narrow walkways. It is equipped with sturdy handrails and you are required to wear a helmet. This not for you if you have height issues or if you don't like hanging bridges.

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

paul_s, May 2026

Fantastic day out

Various pick up points . Pepe was really good and informative. Both places we visited exceeded expectations. Ronda is amazing , so much more than a bridge. If you walk over the bridge from new to old , turn 1st right there is a walk on the right you come to a viewing point. €5 each including crash helmet and hairnet. This short walk will get you to some excellent views of the bridge. Loved every minute of this trip.

Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs

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!

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

The Best of Malaga: Guided Tour of Cathedral, Alcazaba & 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.

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.
