What a wonderful time we had with Rafa exploring the historical district of Marbella. What a fabulous guide, telling history like a story; fascinating, I felt like we were in on all the tea. Beautiful neighborhood that I would have never even seen if it weren’t for this tour. Great bang for the buck. Highly recommend!

Specific Tour for a specific area of Marbella Private local guide - expert in their knowledge of chosen area 1.5 hrs long
Wonderful walk in the old town of Marbella! Mike, our tour guide was knowledgeable, accommodating and a delight to have toured with him! Highly recommend Mike as a tour guide!
I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong date, but the team was super helpful and quick to fix it. They actually arranged for the guide to come to me and do the tour just for me, which was amazing! The guide was really friendly and easy to talk to, and it felt more like exploring Marbella with a local friend than a formal tour. I learned a lot and had a great time walking around at my own pace. Really appreciate how flexible and accommodating they were—definitely recommend!
I loved Michael’s tour. I had no idea that such a little place could have that much history in it. He had interesting insights and he was a very friendly guide. I’m glad I got to know more about Marbella. I highly recommend this tour. Get to know Marbella beyond its beautiful beaches and golf courses!
Beautiful Old Town Marbella was even more beautiful through the eyes of our guide who was very knowledgeable and informative. He proudly shared the history of this city providing insight to the culture and buildings of Old Town.
I recently joined this walking tour of Marbellas historic center, and it was an incredible experience! Our local guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the history and culture. The tour took us through so many cool spots which we would have never discovered if we explored on our own. We also really enjoyed the drink at the end!!
Local guide so lots of knowledge. We were the only 2 people on the tour so we’re able to ask all the questions.
It is a walking tour and not a bus tour, please change this in the headline. We had our very competent tour guide Raffa all to ourselves and he told us everything worth knowing about Marbella and led us through the old town up to the old castle walls. Even though we had already walked through the old town ourselves before, it is always good to also hear something about the history of a city. We really enjoyed the excursion!
We experienced a wonderful cultural journey through the old town with Rafael. He told us a lot about the history of Marbella's origins and showed us many historical features. He also gave us a few tips on where you can eat particularly well. We will try that out over the next few days. Many thanks for the great impressions. Lena and Timmy
super good motivated guide with knowledge of the facts (and also of anecdotes); really enjoyed this hour and a half strolling through the old town with attention to details; highly recommended!
