Great day in Marbella
Booked a half day tour of Marbella with tour guide Jochen. Did a walking tour of Old Town Marbella, a stop at a beautiful church, some breaks at local cafes, and a walk along Marbella's beautiful promenade. Pick up from my hotel outside the City Center saved me a pricy cab fare. Jochen was warm, down-to-earth, and friendly. He provided a fun, laid back tour that felt like spending the day with an old friend. Highly recommended.

Customised private walking tour
We booked a two hour walking tour. Our guide Jochen met us at our hotel, he introduced himself and asked if there was anything specifically that we wanted to see. We mentioned that we would like to see the old town.off we set, at a reasonable pace for us as my husband and I are 75. On our way to the start of the old town, he told us how you could tell when some of the newer buildings had been built.As the travel company says the guides are locals and not jenned up on dates Exeter’s he took us to a very old church and let us roam around at our leisure. The streets are very narrow , not wide enough for a car. We also mentioned that we would like to go to Pourto Banus. When we came from the old town Jochen too us via a lovely garden where Dali used to come and paint. We got to the kiosk that sold the tickets to Pourto Banus and caught a catermaran it cost 15€ return and it ran every hour
