If you’re looking for a story teller with a diverse background, Renata is your guide! Her ability to weave the more than thousand years of Malaga history along with her personal journey provides for interesting and lively conversation. She has a very warm personality that makes you feel welcome.Malaga meets Budapest

Hands down, this tour was one of the best ones my husband and I have done in our many travels. The guide was so informed in her knowledge of the Malaga wine history and the owner’s background and how the vineyard was started. It is an organic vineyard and what is called a micro winery where only 70,000 bottles are produced per year. We were a small group of 5, a guide. It was very personalized with conversation with the owner. He answered any and all questions about himself and the thought behind the wines we tasted. The pairings and tapas were wonderful as well.The best Wine tour.

Renata is really friendly and sweet and we jad an enjoyable evening with her sampling various tapas and wines. She also showed us around Malaga and gave us some recommendations as to where we can go to explore on our own. Although it started to rain pretty heavily halfway thru our tour, she still completed the entire tour with us. In fact, she took us to the wine tasting (not on the itinerary) where we got a chance to try delicious wines and had so much fun !! I will recommend that you book a tour with Renata when you visit Malaga.Fun evening with Renata :))

Malagueña since only a couple of years, but she knows a lot of interesting and local places. From churros, to tapas, local fish restaurants and bars, Renáta can show you all. Next to that she has seen a lot of the world, which also makes her an interesting interlocutor. I would recommend her as a (food)guide.Interesting experience

We were disappointed with the tour as it was not what we expected. Isabel was very nice and very knowledgable but we expected the tour to be more of a food experience than a guided tour of the city. We understood from the description of the tour that we would have 10 tastings of Malaga which we understood to be 10 samples of food of the area. We had four places where we had a tasting and two which were packets of nuts. One of them was a pack of chestnuts which you can have anywhere in the world including our own country the Uk. We were particularly disappointed as this was a birthday gift for our friend who was celebrating his 70th birthday Disappointing

As well as a gastronomic taste of Malaga, Isabel provided us a superb cultural and historical taste of Malaga as well. Isabel was excellent company and showed us parts of Malaga that we wouldn’t have found in a guide book. We would thoroughly recommend her for anyone wanting to explore this fabulous old town.

Good historical review. Expected more food stops. The ones we did were very good and authentic but we expected more stops instead of samples of foods at stands. Overall was good but have had more thorough tours with Food Sherpas or Viator. Did not regret taking the tour but not the best we’ve had. Good tour of Malaga

We had a lovely food tour with Miriam in Malaga. Miriam’s so knowledgable about the city, it’s history, places to go, restaurants and tavernas to eat at and all the parks and museums which has made the rest of our break here so easy to visit the best places. The food tour itself was wonderful eating at the lovely places, some off the beaten track and others in the top 10 restaurants to visit. The food was very tasty as was the wine and beer. Miriam was lovely and chatty and her English is brilliant. We highly recommend a tour with Miriam. Loveky food tour in Malaga

Isabel was a fabulous guide, and knows about everyone and everything in the City. We visited some amazing secret streets and shops and bars, and tasted wine to die for and gorgeous food. We got a real sense of pride in the heritage and history of Málaga, and a recognition of the more troubled periods over the centuries. We had plenty of time to talk about life at home and life in Spain, which gave us a real understanding of the culture of the city and the country. We had a lovely evening with Isabel which set us up for the rest of our visit! Thank youDelightful evening!

We really enjoyed our time with Isabel. She took us around Malaga, amending the tour to our previous experiences of the city. Starting at the market was great as we were able to taste some local produce as well as learn about the history of the building and area. From here we visited several areas we had not previously seen. Isabel was very knowledgeable and obviously loved the city. Would recommend this tour and Isabel as a guide.Great experience.

We did this tour first thing when arriving to Málaga, and can highly recommend people to do the same. Perfect mix of history, culture and obviously good food and drinks. Based on all the information and history we received we had an easy time planning what we'd like to experience during our stay in this beautiful city. Isabel was very knowledgable and very keen on answering our questions regarding the local culture and history. Since it was a private tour, it was very flexible and easy to adjust the experience according to our preference as we went along. Excellent

Miriam was a wonderful guide. The three hours flashed by, we had fun walking through the old town to Picasso square, then to the Roman theatre, Alcazaba and the Cathedral. We loved the tasting, the fish market and the beach. Miriam gave us great restaurant and other sight-seeing tips. Highly recommend this tour with Miriam. A joyful tour

Isabel kindly agreed to a late reschedule due to torrential rain. Isabel is a proud boqueron -- a Malaga native with deep knowledge of the history and culture of her home town. He tour was informative and fun. She showed us lots of hidden gems that we would never have found ourselves. We particularly enjoyed the floats from the annual Easter parade. We also tasted some amazing custard tarts and learnt about Picasso's childhood in the city. Isabel has fluent English and is great company. Book her now!Great tour with Isabel

Nadia was just the perfect guide in Malaga! She took the time to understand us and our interests and she designed the tour accordingly. She totally delivered what we wanted but we also just really enjoyed walking around the city and chatting to her. We finished our tour in a really perfect wine bar, where we sat and chatted some more - just what my 18year old son wanted as he was super keen to chat in Spanish about all manner of things - and Nadia was just brilliant at engaging with him. We really enjoyed our tour and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nadia to anyone wanting to find out a bit more about Malaga!The lovely Nadia

Our 3-hr walking tour with Renáta was wonderful and informative, filled with history and fun facts. We were in contact even before we arrived in Málaga, and she was quick to respond to all my questions. Walking around and Renáta showing us the highlights earlier, helped us decide what to do with the rest of the day on our own since our time was limited. I highly recommend hanging out with Renáta. Walking tour - a must!

After meeting up with Renáta, we were pleasantly surprised it was a private tour! She took us to some very nice spots in the city and showed us around and gave us very useful tips. What stood out is that Renáta does not just play a tape and communicates a rehearsed story, but instead really engaged in her audience and took an interest in each and everyone. Highly recommended!Awesome private tour

Isabel us a native if Malaga. We spent a little over three hours just strolling through old Malaga . She told us the history of Malaga from the Phoneticians to the present. . She stopped at small local shops to explain their significance to local people. The store selling flamenco dresses was one if these and how she studied flamenco from time she was a tiny girl. At the end she recommended a small local resturant to have a bite to eat where we. Could sample several local foods like delicious iberian ham and fried aubergine with “Malaga honey”. We highly reccomend a stroll with IsabellWinderful guide to Malaga
