Great tour of Alcazaba with Malaga Adventures! - Maria was an awesome tour guide! She was knowledgeable about the history of Malaga and made the tour interesting for the children that were on the tour by explaining how the Christians tried to conquer the fort and castle as we traversed the hill. The Alcazaba is definitely something to see in Malaga!

Excellent tour - Salvador made the tour very enjoyable and fun with the stories and jokes he had at hand. He was very accommodating for everyone in the group, chose the right pace and did not overload us with unneccesary historical facts but made sure that we got the most important knowledge about Alcazaba through an exciting delivery. Highly recommend!

Super guide. - Our tour guide Salvador did an excellent job showing us around the Alcazaba site. He was knowledgeable and entertaining taking time to interact with the children in the group. Well worth the very reasonable extra cost above the entrance price.

Tour guide stories made site come alive - We really enjoyed our tour with Salvatore. Even with our group of 20, he was good at engaging with each person and welcoming us all. He frequently checked in as we moved from place to place, asking if we had questions or needed any other help. His stories made the site come alive. Highly recommend.
