We had the most amazing experience with Emilio! We were lucky that we were the only two participants so it was like having a private tour. The food spots were great and the explanations of all the dishes and places really helped to connect to the tradition and culture of Malaga. The length of the tour was perfect, 3 hours. And getting more tips in writing for our next visit is a big plus. We really recommend the tour!

What a great tapas tasting experience! Anais was such a pleasure to have as our guide. She was very attentive, personable, explained the cultural aspects and shared many insightful details about the food we were tasting and beyond. After the trip she even sent all the names of things we tried as well as the locations of places we tried the food at.
