A very good way to get to know your way around Malaga on the first day if you've never visited before.
The guide is what makes the tour - 10 stars for our guide Mohammed. Very personable, and knows his history! I’ve been to many markets and was actually dreading Malaga’s- such a wonderful experience and I learned alot! We truly enjoyed this experience. Thank you Mohammed!
We were blessed to meet the most incredible guide in Mohammed who took us on a private walking adventure in Malaga. His super friendly and infectious personality combined with his knowledge about the history, architecture and culture of this beautiful city made for a wonderful experience on our first visit to Malaga. Definitely a "must-do" tour - very insightful and informative. Please ask for Mohammed - you will have the best time! Highly recommended.
Very good way to see some of the highlights of Malaga! Jade was a wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide!
Mohammed rocks. Fabulous tour guide. I highly recommend him for this tour or any other in the area. Great historical information.
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.
Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Malaga is beautiful, and our guide made the experience all the better.

Excellent and friendly experience. Guide, Elmira, was wonderful. Educated, friendly, knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
I did not realize that i did not review this tour and the young lady that guided us thru our day. Her knowledge of Spain, Malaga and all the places we visited was impressive. We could tell she loved her job and it showed. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone. Especially historians.
Jade was amazing! She is very kind and knowledgeable. I learned a lot. She gave out great recommendations for places to eat as well.
Malaga is a beautiful city and our guide was very knowledgeable. We were a party of four and would highly recommend this tour.
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
Fabulous tour with Monica. She took her time with us. Did not rush. Monica made it a great experience.
Silvina was super friendly, kind, and informative. You can tell she really knows her history, and shares personal experiences. We enjoyed our time with her!
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.
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.
Christine our guide was amazing. So much knowledge. She took us through highlights of Malaga and was interesting and informative. Definitely recommend her. Beautiful city and half day tour is very worthwhile.
Great tour guide and tour. Very interesting and informative. The tour guide was very kind to our kids and hit all the highlights.
Elmira is an excellent guide, knowledgeable of everything Malaga, personable, and a delightful sense of humor. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took his time throughout the entire tour. It was a very long walk for us but really the only way to visit the sites. Very glad we experienced this tour.
absolutely wonderful tour of Malaga with Elmira. She was a pleasure to be with, and she was extremely knowledgeable about everything she was telling us about.
Silvina was a fabulous tour guide, knowledgeable, considerate, and personable. she learned our interests at the very start of the tour andmade us feel at home in Malaga.
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!
The Picasso museum was incredible and our guide Javier was excellent . He had tremendous knowledge and taught us a lot.
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.
We had a excellent experience, he was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history, which made us excited.
Our tour guide was absolutely fabulous! Knowledgeable and extremely passionate, which was lovely. Bit of a hill to get up but absolutely worth it. The whole your is well worth your time! Thank you so much! Laura & Hayley x
A good tour with a good guide, the guide explained the most important historical and architecture Highlights In one hour of Alcazaba.
excellent tour and wonderful stories about the life and conquest of the fortress. Also great history of the Nazari kingdom of southern spain and how it finally fell to the christian king and queen in the V century . The Malaga Alcazaba stood for a long time as the protector of the Malaga trade route from Granada to the mediterranean. Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and full of passion and rigor , a great guy.
Unfortunately, the tour operator did not respond to our messages the day before. No guide appeared on tour day. No one answered the phone number provided.
Silvina hatt uns die Geschichte Malaga's sehr gut nähergebracht, wir waren rundum zufrieden, sie gab sich auch Mühe unsere kleine Tochter zu integrieren :)
Alcazaba is a fortress composed of several towers and rich in history. Built between the 10th and 11th centuries by Muslims on Christian lands. This tour will take you on a journey, the help of a guide to understand the secrets of this fortress is valuable. I advise you to go there for 09h at the opening because when it fills it becomes difficult to enjoy it in peace. Have a nice visit.
