We had a wonderful private walking tour of Malaga with Elvira. She shared so much information with us - both the history as well as current living conditions. We all really enjoyed our time with her. We saw a lot. We were a group of 5 people in our 60’s.

    This is a private walking tour with lots of history of the area. The Alcazaba has a lot of stairs but there is an elevator. Mohammed walked us through the highlights of the old center and even had a fun little treat for us. Private tours allow for your own pace and preferences. Would highly recommend

    We highly recommend this tour. Silvina was a fabulous guide. We had a really great time. She showed us so much that you wouldn’t do in a group tour. She personalised the tour. Malaga is a wonderful city and Silvina really did showcase it beautifully.

    Great experience with Jorge.

    Barbara, Jun 2025
    Jorge is a native of Malaga. His college major is history so his information is thorough. He was able to plan our itinerary so that we avoided crowds and waiting in line to different sites. He is friendly and accommodated the tour to our interests, pace and tastes. He was attentive to us as we navigated uneven paths up and down to historic castles, etc. Lots of tips about food and customs. Plus directions to shops and restaurants that catered to our needs. Made us feel like welcomed guests. Thank you for a lovely tour.

    Silvina was an excellent tour guide. We appreciated how smooth she made it for all of us on the tour. Seeing the Alcazaba, Cathedral, and Picasso museum was the perfect amount of places to visit for the tour. We loved it!

    Michael_R, Jul 2023
    The Picasso museum was incredible and our guide Javier was excellent . He had tremendous knowledge and taught us a lot.

    Monica Made Malaga Magnificent!

    Theresa_V, Jun 2023
    Monica was the most enjoyable part of the tour. Super engaging, fun, enthusiastic and passionate about teaching our group about the sites in Malaga. She guided us from one location to the next with ease. We visited 7 more European cities after Malaga, and our group of 10 continued to reference Monica on other tours, wishing our guides were as spectacular as Monica. She made Malaga a place we all want to return for another visit.

    Great experience
