Absolutely worth it! - We had a great day with our guide showing us around Alcazaba, the Cathedral and Picasso's house. Our tour had a nice balance of walking, exploring and relaxed conversations that kept us going without feeling tired. Beatriz is very knowledgeable and friendly, always smiling and ready to answer all of our questions. She even helped us find a specific shop we were looking for after the end of the tour. If you are in Malaga and you wish to have all the major sites visited with a great guide, this tour is highly recommended! Thank you, Beatriz!

Beautiful tour - Our host, Maria, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She confirmed the day before and let us know where to meet her. Her communication was clear and we learned so much about the history and stories of Málaga’s Alcazaba and Nasrid Palace. Definitely worth the investment.

A wonderful little Alhambra - Stunning guided tour of the Alcazaba and the Nazaries Palaces of Malaga. A fortress palace that reminds you of the Alhambra of Granada. Our guide made our visit very enjoyable, telling us the history of these places, with historical data and anecdotes. We were several hours walking but it got short, time flew by. The visit was really entertaining and very nice. A stunning place with spectacular views of Malaga. Do not hesitate to do it, you will have a great time.

Essential visit - Slowly and slowly to travel around the surroundings of the Alcazaba and the Nasrid Palaces, from time to time to take a seat in this or that place, imagine that great culture that was part of our history, walked along these same soils, they look worn by it, loved, created, fought and dreamed... Lovely memories and places. Essential visit.

To do! But in the morning... - Very steep but with a magnificent viewpoint, this pretty walk is to be done in the morning when the temperature is still bearable!

Visit July 2019 - Excellent walk to do; Strong climb but worth the trip for the view of the port and the city.
Well preserved fortifications. Nice to do as a family.
I recommend.

Delightful gardens and architecture. - A really interesting tour of a fortified palace overlooking the city centre. The moorish influence is very dominant, and a delight to see. The skills exhibited in using the contours of the site to create delightful gardens and courtyards are amazing. However, you do need to be fit because some of the pathways are quite steep, and there are lots of steps. Do not forget your camera.

Beautifully restored fort - The Alcazaba lies right in the center of Malaga. Just stepping inside the walls and all becomes tranquil. Beautifully restored ancient fort with lots of views of the city and sea. Beautiful gardens and mosaics. Well worth the 3,50€ entrance fee.

Booked and confirmed tour... - Booked and confirmed tour in advance. Guide was a no show and did not hear from tour company until 15 minutes after meeting time. Had to call twice before we even heard that guide was not going to show up. Passed on another tour to take this one but by the time we heard from the tour company it was too late to make other arrangements. Wasted our port day in Malaga. Whole experience was unacceptable.
