What People say about our Tour

“We had such an incredible day with Fernando in Malaga–it’s the part of our entire Spain trip that we talk about the most. The tour was authentic and local; we felt like we were spending a day experiencing Malaga the way people who live there do. There was nothing touristy or staged about it. The places we went were so good, and we loved sampling all the food and beverage. For me personally, I loved speaking Spanish with Fernando and learning about the city and its history. We highly recommend this as a must-do when you visit Malaga.”
