It felt like there was a little too much information giving but wasn’t necessarily the information we and some others on the tour needed. The highlight points I read about after filled in the gaps. We walked through a random restaurant (Pimp), completely unnecessary. The time in the Cathedral was limited.
It was well explained all the points visited in a fairly reasonable time. The guide is very attentive. I recommend.
For the English language tour, the guide didn't seem to speak or understand English well. We arrived for our 12:15 tour only to be told that we should have been on the 10 am tour, when I showed her my confirmation that said 12:15 she stood there and argued with me. Finally she called her office and decided we could stay on the tour. Unfortunately this "small group" was 30 people. She'd put her umbrella up while walking, but once she arrived at her destination, she'd lower it so those in the back of the group would have to hunt for her. There were no headsets, so she was hard to hear if you weren't very close to her, it was hot as blazes in the cathedral (ok, that wasn't her fault). Overall we were not pleased and would not book with this company again.
Pedro, our tour guide was crazy good. We learned so much. Being able to explore the beautiful cities of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas was an actual blessing. We will be back.

Gives you the highlights of Malaga's history on 1 tour. The walk was a little hard since it's uphill, but it's worth the trip.

We made the tour with the Cathedral and the Alcazaba. It was great! Our guide was Daniel (Dani) who is Malagueño and knows a lot about the history of the city.

The tour covers the must see sights in Malaga and is one to definitely take, however, our tour was in English and our guide was a young Spanish woman who spoke very fast, making her English hard to understand, particularly when she mispronounced many English words.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and felt the tour covered Málaga’s must-see sights. We’re sorry, however, that the pace and pronunciation of the explanations made parts of the tour difficult to follow. We truly appreciate your comments and will take them into account with our team to continue improving the quality of our tours in English. Thank you again for joining us and for helping us improve.
