What people are saying about Province of Málaga

What a wonderful tour, it was more like waking around town chatting with a friend. Lana is passionate about making sure her guests enjoy the tour. She shared so much information and history on Marbella, this was a very nice change to the usual 'wine & tapas' tours in Europe. It was a comfortable walk around the old town, olive oil tasting was phenomenal, as were the tapas and wine tasting. This tour is more bespoke than the typical, if you're looking to just walk from one bar to another, choose another tour, but you will truly be missing out.

The tour was very informative and a delicious way to explore the city and experience its history. If you want to learn more about this great city while trying some tasty foods then this tour is definitely worth considering.

Felipe was a great guide! We got to know great corners of the city and nice restaurants. Our guide was able to answer all of our questions. Had a great atmosphere in our colorful mixed group!

We visited 3 locations each of which was interesting in a different way. The tapas and the wines were very good and the guide was interesting with some history of Malaga.

Lovely evening with delicious tapas, wines and an amazing guide! I enjoyed every bit of the 3 stops we did. This tour made me discover the real flavours of Andalusia
