Description

Explore Malaga with our exclusive 2 or 3-hour (choose your option) private tour! Starting at Constitution Square, we'll wander through Marques de Larios Street and discover the Cathedral of Malaga(EXTERIOR), known for its unfinished South Tower, fondly dubbed "the one-armed lady." Our journey continues through San Agustin Street, home to the Picasso Museum, and includes a visit to the iconic "El Pimpi" winery. Highlights also encompass the Roman Theater, Alcazaba of Malaga(tickets included), and the Malaga Museum, where Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born. Enjoy the city's rich history and culture in a brief yet immersive experience. Only the 2-hour city tour and the 3-hour city tour with the Cathedral are accessible for individuals with reduced mobility or those using wheelchairs.

Malaga afternoon with Nahuel

What an excellent guide of Malaga! Nahuel reached out early to coordinate our drive into Malaga for our tour during Holy week street closures, ensuring we got to parking area where we could come and go. His tour pace for us was excellent, he learned about us and put extra time and emphasis on things that most interested us. We only had a few hours in Malaga, so we hit all the highlights. Start point was perfect to enjoy a sidewalk cafe first, and he ended us at a great tapas bar. Highly recommend Nahuel, very personal care before, during and after!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear Nahuel took such great care in planning everything around the Semana Santa closures and tailored the tour to your interests — that personal touch really makes a difference. It’s wonderful you were able to make the most of your time in Málaga, from the first coffee to the final tapas stop. He’ll be so happy to read your kind words — thank you for the recommendation!

Nahuel was a fabulous...

Nahuel was a fabulous tour guide, explained a lot of the history on good detail. It’s a better experience knowing what you are looking at. We paid for the 3hr tour, but you should be fine with the 2hr as the area is relatively contained and you have to go inside the cathedral on your own after the tour.

Operator response

Thank you very much for appreciating the professionalism and excellence of our guides and the quality of our services. We hope to see you again soon on any of our tours in Spain.
