We were originally booked on this tour however the morning of the tour we were asked if we could join the 11am wine and tapas tour instead. I was hesitant as I wanted to see the city and not a big wine drinker.. however I was pleasantly surprised! It was fantastic. Crystal the guide was brilliant, and we saw everything of the city as well as enjoyed a couple of tapas and stopping off at the oldest bar in Malaga for a glass of sweet wine. So glad we were put on this tour!
