A must do with a superb tour guide - This really is a worthwhile tour to do when you visit this beautiful city. Isabel is so much fun, but also knows the history so well. We had a small group, so no following an upheld brolly and feeling like you're being hearded like cattle. Try and book this early in your trip and you won't be disappointed.

Family friendly - We felt so welcomed. She was great with engaging the whole group from kids to adults. She let us see both the history of the town as well as what it is like to be a local.

Fun, informative, humor !! - Had a super nice tour of the city from Isabel. Relaxed and with humour and also an eye for small details such as a tasty cake from one of the oldest shops in the city to almonds with figs and olives in the mercado central . We were also allowed to watch the preparations of the procession in holy week. Too bad Antonio B wasn’t there 😂 It was really nice and highly recommended. Time flies by. Thank you 😊

The best introduction to Malaga - We can’t recommend Isabel’s tour highly enough. What a great introduction to this lovely city. She’s warm and welcoming, witty, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about her city and the wider Andalusia region. Small group, very personalised and we came away with lots of tips and useful insights (and more emailed to us afterwards). A much better experience than is ever possible with large tour companies.

A fabulous experience! - This was a wonderful tour around the old part of Malaga. Isabel is passionate about Malaga and is incredibly knowledgable. We went to places I don’t think we would have noticed without her showing us, for example the thrones. She took us to an independent shop to try a pastry and we went to the market where we sampled olives, nuts and figs. It was clear that she was much respected and well known locally. Much of the joy of the tour is Isabel herself, her English is excellent and she has a wonderful sense of humour. She helped us with our Spanish pronunciation (still not sure I’ve got ‘paella’ quite right!) and at the end of the tour, sent us loads of additional information. After the tour finished, we went to one of her recommendations for lunch (Casa Lola) and it was excellent. Definitely recommended. A brilliant tour.

Really fun and worth it! - Isabel was a great guide and it was a very personal and memorable experience. As Isabel says herself, she wants it to feel like hanging out with a friend and it definitely felt that way. Well worth it!

The best way to see, know and understand Mskaga - We both enjoyed our tour with Isabel who was extremely knowledgeable and excellent at keeping us fully engaged throughout. This was my second city guided tour and I'm fully converted to doing one in every city I visit now because of all the hints and tips for what to do and where to go as well as the best eating and drinking spots you're given! Isa made me see Malaga in a completely different way, with far more interest and awareness. She is a truly devoted and wonderful guide. I am so delighted to have met her. I hope to employ Isa as a guide for other parts of this area in the future for sure.
