Great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and gave very good info on the history but also was very flexible to take us to areas of old town that were very fun to see. Was here during the holidays and he took us to some of the spots that were decorated. The private olive oil tasting was one of the highlights of our trip
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It's always a pleasure for Tour Marbella to show you around the main highlights of Marbella Old town. All of tour guides have a deep knowledge of the area, are fully licensed and more importantly they have a wonderful storytelling.
If you happen to be back in the area it would be great to show you some of the other destinations we operate like Ronda with its breathtaking views and iconic bridge or Malaga with its inmense cultural offer, gastronomy and stunning old town.

Eva was great! We were in Marbella for 70.3 Worlds and wanted to see more of Marbella and the old Town. Had a really nice couple of hours learning more. Olive oil tasting was fun and informative.uchore diversity in flavor than I thought.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We’re thrilled you had a great time with Eva exploring Marbella and its charming Old Town—especially while in town for the 70.3 Worlds, what an exciting moment to visit! It’s wonderful to hear the olive oil tasting was both fun and eye-opening. There really is so much more depth to it than most people expect!
If your travels ever bring you back to the area, we’d love to welcome you on another adventure. We specialise on bespoke experiences.

Javier is a knowledgeable host who openly shares his experience as a 4th generation citizen of Marbella. He knows the history of the city and surrounding region.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words!
It truly means a lot to me that you appreciated the personal side of the tour. Being a fourth-generation Marbellí, it’s always a joy to share not just the history of the city, but also the stories and experiences that have been passed down through my family.
I’m really glad you enjoyed learning about Marbella and the surrounding region. If you’re ever back in the area I’d be delighted to show you even more.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour through historic Marbella with Javier. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and shared historical information as we walked through the maze of streets and shops. The olive oil tasting at the end was a treat as well. The shopkeeper there explained the nuances of so many different oils and provided bread so we could sample each. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much Margaret for taking your time to share your feedback.
I had a fantastic time with you and your friends walking along the whitewashed streets in the old town.
If you happen to come back to the Málaga, Ronda or Mijas I would love to show you around again, regards!

Javier was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and engaging, and his English skills are very good. The pace of the tour starting near the port before moving through the Old Town area was perfect.
Marbella has a fascinating history, and Javier’s ability to capture it all was great, perhaps helped by the fact he is native to the area.
Thanks for getting our visit to the area off to a great start!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure to spend time with you and your son exploring Marbella and Ronda. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour, from the scenic start near the port to the charm and history of the Old Town. As someone native to the area, I’m always excited to share its fascinating stories, and I’m glad you felt that passion during our time together.
Thank you for trusting me to kick off your visit to the region—I hope it set the tone for an amazing trip! If you ever return or want to explore other beautiful spots in Andalucía, I’d be delighted to guide you again.

Paseo por Marbella, casco antiguo, con guía de la zona que va explicando la evolución de la zona y curiosidades (edificios incrustados en la antigua muralla), réplicas de Dalí en el Paseo del Mar, costumbres y gusto marbellí , en fin una mañana que culminó con la cata de aceite que nos sorprendió muy gratamente.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hola Francisca. Fue un placer pasear con vosotros por el Casco antiguo de esta Marbella desconocida por muchos. Me alegra que disfrutarais de la mañana, espero que este tiempo tan atípico no acabara aguandoos mucho la fiesta. Saludos
