The website promised no more than 9 people on any tour. Image our surprise when 13 and a new born baby turned up. Rafa is probably a good guide, the only issue was we couldn’t hear him as he was so far down the other end of the table. This was his third tour of the day and by his admission, he was tired and couldn’t recall if he had imparted salient points during his monologues. The food was interesting in the first venue with plenty to eat. The same could not be said for the second as some dishes presented at one end of the table never reached us. The third venue was just plain boring. Uninspiring food and a strange seating arrangement. Our experience was disappointing.
We had such a good time on our tour and our guide Rafa was amazing. We were the only ones on the tour so it felt like a private tour. The food and drinks were delicious and the local and historical talks Rafa talked about, tied up the experience into a nice bow. Thank you so much!
As a solo traveller this was a wonderful experience, the group size was exactly right a great way to experience the local culture & make new friends. The guide was knowledgable, friendly, funny & welcoming
Christian.....Thank you for a wonderful local food tour! I loved discovering delicious tapas while learning so many fascinating historical facts about Marbella. Our guide took us to 3 local bars and the last spot was amazing ! He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made the experience so enjoyable. I truly loved the experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the local food and history!
Rafa was a great tour guide and what a wonderful way to see Old Town Marbella between the history, tapas and nice company would recommend to all
Rafa did a great job with this tour! You can tell how passionate he is about the history and culture of Marbella! The three stops we made were very unique and special, all with wonderful wine and tapas! Highly recommend especially if Rafa is your tour guide!
Our guide was very informative and fun. We visited 3 restaurants and the food / wine was great. Highly recommend.
Wonderful way to experience the history and tapas of Marbella. Delicious food from authentic Spanish restaurants, Rafa was a great guide, knowledgable and genuinely interested in what he showed us.
Rafa was amazing and we so enjoyed our time with him. Everything was so well planned and we loved all the food he chose for us. Great way to explore downtown Marbella and everything it has to offer. Thank you again Rafa!!!
Excellent tour from guide and explained food and wine etc
What an incredible tapas tour! Rafa was so kind and funny we are so happy we got to meet him and experience tapas in Marbella. The food was amazing and we also enjoyed the drinks very much. Highly recommend!
We got to the meeting place and no one was there- I called the telephone number on the ticket and they couldn’t find our reservation - they did find it on Viator but it had not shown up in their system - so there was no tour- they say they will refund our money. It was very disappointing that
Rafa was amazing and just the right amount of history with the right amount of food and wine. The tapas was good and the festival was on this time of year so there was a lot happening .
Great easy fun tour. The tapas restaurants are chosen carefully for great authentic cuisine. The tour guide is very entertaining. We had a great time.
This was such a lot of fun with lovely food and drink and really interesting facts and history of the area Great company too
Great intro to old town and tapas. Guide was knowledgeable and spent extra time with us. Would highly recommend
Our guide Rafa was amazing. He was fun, engaging and shared insights and history about Marbella. The three restaurants we visited were delicious. Thank you for a wonderful tour.
Michael was our tour guide and we had a fantastic time. He was very knowledgeable, and we learned lots of interesting facts about the local history, art and culture while we walked through the charming town. Would definitely recommend this tour in Marbella.
Our experience on this tour was absolutely wonderful! The food was wonderful, the people that we met were wonderful and our guide was wonderful.. All of that, the time we spent together, the many local dishes and fascinating sights that we were informed about, were only possible because we fortunately had the most amazing guide. Michael was very very knowledgeable with a personality that enabled us all to follow along with a sense that the tour, while a group, was personal to each of us. I would highly recommend this tour and above all Michael our tour guide. - Thank you!!
Michael was a wealth of knowledge. The places he took us for our meals were very good and served local fare. I would strongly recommend this tour.
So much fun. Wonderful guide Mike gave a history lesson on this short walking tour and took us to two different tapas places and a dessert place. They were all great! What’s not to love food, drinks and great discussion.
Mike was Very Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating great history lesson and food was amazing great choice of restaurant
We had a wonderful experience! We tried several different tapas that were very unique and tasty! Luis was our tour guide and did a fantastic job! We learned a lot of history of Marbella and saw several historical sights! I would highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful tour with Luis through the narrow streets of Old Town Marbella. Each food stop provided tasty treats and wine and was long enough to savor the flavors and develop new friendships with other tour guests. We learned historical facts about the city and now have some new menu items to seek out on the rest of our trip. We were provided with a list of the menu items and sights to seek in the area at the end of the tour. Wonderful!
Our guide Michael was terrific, very knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with. And, the 2 selected restaurants for tapas were perfect, one traditional and the other more modern.
Five stars!!We loved Luis. He was informative, patient with us stopping at shops, accommodating , and kind.
Michael was a great guide! So much information and lots of time for questions about all things Marbella! The tapas were just amazing and wine ❤️. Highly recommend!
Lots of great food visit great locations in beautiful Marbella with a wonderful guide Luis who was full of local knowledge
Really good tour , with quality wines, quality food and an excellent knowledgeable guide called Mike, worth the money .
This was our first time doing a walking food tour and we loved it! It was so relaxed perfectly paced and getting to explore the town with a local was perfect. We got to try so many amazing foods and wines, and Luis was super friendly. He went above and beyond: accommodating our many dietary restrictions, giving us his cell for any questions throughout the rest of our trip, and a list of his personal recommendations. I only wish we had done this night 1 instead of one of our last nights!
Mike our tour guide was excellent-we were in a group of 6 along with 4 other members in our group. Mike was very informative and made the trip a great experience sharing his knowledge but also with a great sense of humour! Would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Mike
Mike took us to 3 different local businesses to try the best tapas they offered. We had great company, great food, great drinks, and great history!
Guide Mike was terrific, experience was worthwhile. Tapas were delicious. Fun walk around the Old Town.
Great food and tour of old town! Micheal was Knowledgeable of his town and we really enjoyed learning about its historic features and food history! I could have taken more !!
Luis was wonderful. We were taken to little places we never would have found on our own. The tapas and beverages were awesome. Great experience with a wonderful host!
Michael was an amazing tour guide and host. The food was fantastic, the walking tour a delight, and we were blessed with a great of other travelers to enjoy it all with. The truly is a fabulous idea and wonderful way to really dive in to the cultures and food.
I had an amazing tour tonight in Old Town. Luis, our local guide, blended his knowledge of the area enrich history of Marbella, with his passion for food and wine! We checked out all the local spots and had amazing food and met some great people! As a foodie and an accomplished home cook, I highly recommend this tour! 💗
Michael was a knowledgeable and charming guide. He chose the Tapas bars wisely - all the food was excellent, and provided commentary along our walks between tapas bars. Very enjoyable group of 8. Highly recommend!
Mike the guide was great! Had to double up with two tours at once and did a fine job. Don’t eat before…lots of food and wine or beer! Lots of potato dishes. Great walk through Old Town Marbella. Me, wife and adult daughters all had a fun and interesting time and met new friends along the way!
Tour guide was absolutely amazing really nice guy , food was amazing and a wide range of options but on the other hand we shared our tour with other people who which didn't understand we are ment to share and resulted in a few of our group without being able to try some of the amazing dishes that where provided such a shame, the tour was informative and good fun, just a shame it felt like there was a lack of food, the 3 free drink could maybe be extended to spirits as well, the 7 people from our party weren’t all fans of wine or beer, all in all the tour was fun our guide was fabulous but the food sharing let it down
Great choices of venues - enjoyed the tour group and our guide. The food selections were excellent. Fun evening all the way around.
Lovely evening walking around the Old Town with great tapas in places we would not have discovered by ourselves, with some history and local facts thrown in. Mike was a great guide.
Louis our tour guide was fantastic! He was very informative about the local history and was very happy to answer any of our questions. He led us through the beautiful town of Marbella sharing fun stories and interesting facts. The food was great with plenty to eat and Louis gave us excellent recommendations of the drinks to have with each serving. A thoroughly enjoyable evening! 10/10!!
Really excilent guide, Mike, and nice group. Taisti food and good drinks. Recomend to another visitors.
We had a great time on the tapas tour! The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the experience. The stories shared during the tour were fascinating. We also learned a lot about Spanish cuisine. Highly recommended
The tour had 3 stops, the tapas improved at each stop. Guide was informative. We wish he would have stayed to talk about the food after it was served. He wandered away and came back.
Well informed and fluent gauid, I like that he gave us ear phone which made hearing much more easyer.
Tour guide was nice and gave us an informative tour of the old town. However, we came for great tapas and were disappointed in the quality, and had expected more dialogue about the tapas. We found better tasting tapas wandering around on our own reading menus and crowds.
Mike had picked excellence tapas for us to sample. He had a good sense of humor to put up with all of us. I especially enjoyed the historical comments that were both interesting and entertaining.
