Best food tour we ever had. The guide, Charo, was awesome. She took us to the best Tapas Bara in Malaga
A very good experience; Charo is very approachable, she showed us many places and gave us many recommendations to continue our visit to Málaga. All the tapas were very delicious! Mind you, if you go in the morning, it is better to go without having breakfast...
Truly recommended experience! Rosario is a friendly, helpful, and engaging guide, capable of helping you spend three pleasant hours discovering the historic center of Malaga and its gastronomic tradition. During the tour, we visited three establishments, tasting a drink of our choice and tapas to share or individual ones at each. Rosario recommends what to order at each stop, allowing you to savor the most authentic specialties of Malaga. The tour ends with an excellent dessert in a typical pastry shop, a perfect conclusion to this experience. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know the city through its flavors as well!
What a wo perfume excursion, Rosario was just the best guide, she was fun, knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and just great company. She took us around Malaga teaching us about the history of this often overlooked town. She ordered traditional local dishes and wine for us to try. The conversation flowed easily and so did the tapas and wine highly recommend.
Great “foodies on foot” tour with stops at many delicious food stalls snd tapas bars along the way. Jose our guide was informative and fun!
An absolutely fantastic food tour in Málaga! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The food was incredibly delicious and varied; we were able to try many authentic specialties that we would never have discovered on our own. We especially want to highlight the warm nature of our guide, Jose. You immediately felt welcome, and with a lot of passion, knowledge, and good humor, the tour became a real highlight of our stay. Anyone who wants to experience Málaga's culinary scene should not miss this tour. Thank you for this unforgettable experience; we would love to come back, Jose ❤️🫶🏻
Rosario was a great guide. Really, really great tour - we learned so much about the food, culture and history of Malaga and tried new things. A must do in Malaga!
Jose was a knowledgeable and friendly guide and did a superb job! Had a fantastic time walking through the city of Malaga. Great sites, food and great wine tastings at every venue. Very casual walking tour. This tour was a midday tour, which was perfect for our party, because you’re able to see all the shops and sites and monuments while they’re open versus an evening tour when the shops are closed. Would recommend comfortable walking clothes for this tour, and be prepared to walk about 4 km.
Rosario was the perfect guide! We had such a lovely time eating and drinking our way through Malaga. Rosario is kind, very knowledgeable and funny. Great energy. Great conversation. Highly recommend!
We had been to Malaga before, but this wine and tapas tour was still absolutely worth doing. We learned so much about the local food, wine, and culture, and got to try lots of things we had never tasted before. Jose was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Malaga. He made the experience both informative and enjoyable. There was plenty of food throughout the tour, and we were definitely full by the end! The venues and dishes felt very authentic, giving us a genuine taste of local life rather than a typical tourist experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Malaga, whether it’s your first time or a return trip.
