Malaga tasting tour

Great intro to the city! I'm blanking our guide's name at the moment, but he was a lot of fun, very knowledgeable, and very flexible when one of the planned stops wasn't open when we arrived. He simply pivoted And we went elsewhere.

Superb

A wonderful, engaging and informative tour With a knowledgable and charming guide. We went to a few different foodie places and all was described

Great tour and show and delicious tapas!

Ann_S, Apr 2023
Our flamenco and tapas tour was led by Paco, who was a lifelong resident of Malaga and was very proud of his city and knew it well. He led us through the Old Town streets at a comfortable pace, so that my 88 year old mother could keep up, to 2 excellent restaurants for tapas. The restaurant staff were very helpful and the food and service were great! The flamenco show was amazing and we had front row seats. After the show, we were on our own to head home which went just fine. Just make sure you can navigate your way back to your hotel or know where to find a cab!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're glad that you found the tapas restaurants to be excellent, and it's wonderful to hear that the food and service met your expectations. The fact that you had front-row seats for the flamenco show and found it amazing is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your advice about navigating your way back after the tour. We appreciate your recommendation and understanding of the post-tour arrangements. We're grateful to have had the opportunity to serve you and provide you with a memorable experience.
