Wonderful Local Experience

Jane_L, Nov 2022

Paula was an excellent guide and made the experience extremely enjoyable! There were just 4 of us on this tour so it was easy for us to fit into the crowded areas. We visited the oldest winery in Malaga first and realized right away that this was not a “tourist trap” and it was definitely a place where the locals go for their wine as did Pablo Picasso and there are some great pictures of him on the wall. Next we walked to the market which has a remarkable selection of everything you might need. The place we stopped for delicious tapas and wine in the market place itself was an excellent choice. This tour was definitely worth it and I would do it again the next time I’m in Malaga.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Paula is indeed an excellent guide, and her passion for Malaga and its local cuisine greatly contributes to the unique experience we aim to provide. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the authentic local spots we visited, including the oldest winery in Malaga and the market. It's always our goal to provide an intimate and local experience, avoiding the typical "tourist traps". Thank you for recommending our tour. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Malaga.

Met with guide at appointed time...

Dennis_P, Jun 2018

Met with guide at appointed time, she was very unprepared and the tour was just a walk thru the market and then a stop at a tapas restaurant across the street that was unprepared for our stop. The guide was on the phone to her office asking what to do. Then she proceeded to walk us around the streets very slowly and pointing out strange sites. We finally said we wanted to leave the tour after about an hour and go on our own. Disappointing!!

Response from Host, Jun 2018

TOUR OPERATOR COMMENT: Thank you for your feedback. We apologize because the restaurant that we had booked to make the gastronomic stop at the Market, had a big problem a few minutes before our arrival, due to the water supply, and had to close, without giving them time to let us know. For this reason, we had to make a change on the progress of this restaurant, and the guide called us to the office to assign the best quality that was nearby.

Carlos was great guide on this...

Carlos was a fabulous guide. He...

Maria Y, Jul 2017

Carlos was a fabulous guide. He took us on a walking food and wine tour around Malaga. We sampled delicious local delicacies and wines. At one of the wine stops, we were introduced to a bota Spanish wine container and wanted to buy one. Carlos made sure we ended the tour with one we were happy with. Carlos added a treat by asking one of the chefs to allow us to grill the fish we were going to eat. Fun times! Highly recommend this tour with Carlos.

Four of us took this very enjoyable...

William S, Nov 2016

Four of us took this very enjoyable tour with Paco. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city of Malaga and The local cuisine. We were able to first try some sweet wine at our meeting point and then we went through the Ataranzas Market where we tried local olives and then small sandwiches with ham and cheese, sausage and bread along with beer or wine. We toured the market and looked at the many fresh selections of seafood before moving on to a local restaurant, We then went to a restaurant named Taberna El Mentidero where we helped prepare sardines on small swords which were cooked over coals and also fried fresh anchovies. This was washed down with local wine. It was really good and fun. We then went to Malaga Pura for some great tempranillo red wine and fried asparagus and skewers of meat with cous cous. I would highly recommend this and all of us enjoyed this experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

We're so glad to hear that you and your friends enjoyed your tour with Paco, and found it both informative and enjoyable. We're delighted that you enjoyed our stops at the Ataranzas Market and the Taberna El Mentidero. Your recommendation means a lot to us and we look forward to the opportunity to host you again.
