Costa del Sol - knowledgeable guide and interesting outing
Our tour with Jacob was definitely a highlight of our Malaga visit. We had hoped to get a feeling for the Costa del Sol and we were not disappointed! We visited the Castillo Colomares, Estupa de la illuminacion, Puerto Banus, and the old Marbella city centre. We learned about other aspects of Malaga culture and history on our drive. We would definitely recommend this tour and Jacob in particular as your guide!

Excellent
Michelle was extremely knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, friendly and respectful of what we wanted to see. Her historical presentation was like listening to a friend rather than hearing a canned script. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon with Michelle.

Great Tour of Malaga.
We had a wonderful tour with Michelle. You can immediately tell how much she loves her community and how much pride she takes in it. She didn’t just show us sites, she shared personal stories, history and a real connection to the people who live here. It made the whole experience feel authentic and heartfelt. Highly recommend. Way better than a bus tour.

Perfect airport transport!
It was so easy to be met at the ship, put your luggage in the trunk, be driven on a short tour, and then dropped off at the airport for your flight later in the day!
