Great! - Rosario was brilliant! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun. It was good value for money. We experienced places we most likely would not have ventured into and experienced traditional Malaga.

Fantastic tour - We had a fantastic day with Rosario sampling delicious local flavours and enjoying the conversation. Rosario was a brilliant guide and kept us informed and entertained throughout. Any question was answered or the answer was found for us. Additionally we had some Spanish lessons along the way. This tour is ideal for anyone who enjoys good food, wants to explore the roots of the local cuisine and wants to explore further round the beautiful old town. I couldn’t recommend the tour or Rosario enough…. Brilliant!

Excellent experience & explanations-value for money-you would not find these places without the fab guide like Jose - Jose was so informative with excellent English. He arranged a very informative trip experiencing many different foods and explaining the culture of Malaga and their unique wines and food. The hosts welcomed us with smiles and service was excellent. Definitely an exceptional experience and we have enjoyed the day immensely even found new food we like and will continue to eat when home. The Malaga wine was very well chosen to suit our test by Jose and highly recommend you try this experience - you won’t find it with out a guide like Jose. Thank you Jose you made our holiday even more memorable.

A great way to spend an afternoon - We had a very pleasant leisurely stroll around the food delights of Malaga’s compact centre with our lovely guide Jose. Just the two of us with him which made it very personal. Jose knows the city and its food well and gave us lots of information and tips. Our favourite was the fish at the vibrant market, maybe partly because it came first. By the end we were too full up to really appreciate the fried fish plate! It was good to bring the very last offering of local pastries back to our apartment for later. A very enjoyable few hours, thank you Jose.

Great tour with Ester - We went on this tour with Ester as our guide, and enjoyed it so much. It was just the two of us with her, so it was a very personal experience being shown around the city by a true malagueño. She was very knowledgeable about the food and wine but also arranged the tour so we walked past some of the most iconic landmarks of the city. Ester were very attentive of what we wanted from the tour and always gave us options of what to drink and adapted this to refreshing cold drinks on request as it was a hot day. Would easily recommend the tour with Ester as a guide!

Great guide! - José was a delightful guide. We had the best time exploring Malaga’s food scene with our friendly, funny host! The food was amazing but Jose’s personality and humour really helped put us at ease and enjoy the very hot afternoon in Malaga.

Missed the Market - This is a tricky one. When I booked, I was really looking forward to the Market Tour portion, but it was closed due to the public holiday. Jose did his best to stretch the time out to make up for it, but I don’t know why you’d sell a Market tour on a day you know it will be closed.
