Renáta is a fantastic guide, and we had such a good time exploring and learning about Malaga. It was actually really nice to do all our tastings in one spot in the middle of the tour. They were all delicious! Highly recommend. Renáta also gave us a ton of tips and recommendations for the remainder of our time in the area. Really great experience! Outstanding experience in Malaga

She also gave us very interesting facts and figure about Malaga whilst walking from one destination to the other. She really impressed us with her knowledge, warm-hearted and friendly manner.

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

She shared her insight on school, local customs and what life is like living in Malaga. Miriam went above and beyond. It was the perfect tour!One of The Best Guides I’ve ever had

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

We had a nice time walking through Málaga with Andy. He clearly knows a lot about the city and its history. He brought us to a few local spots for small snacks and which added context to the places we visited. It was a relaxed way to explore the city and try some local bites. Worth doing if you’re new to Málaga and want an easy introduction to the food scene. Great introduction to Málaga and the food.

We had a wonderful morning touring Bogotá with Nathalie! She was incredibly kind, responsive, and knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture. Traveling alone with three children can be a challenge, but Nathalie made us feel safe and supported every step of the way. She was patient and engaging—my daughters absolutely adored her. While the tour itself was quite expensive compared to similar experiences we had in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica (something outside of Nathalie’s control), her personal service was excellent. My only suggestion would be to offer a taxi or tuk-tuk option for families, as walking with young kids made it hard to cover as much ground as we would have liked. Overall, Nathalie was a fantastic guide and I’m grateful we had her with us in Bogotá!Lovely and kind! 10/10 Recommend Nathalie

(About local Nathalie)

27 March 2025

Bogota is a huge city and we were somewhat time constrained, so rather than a "highlights" or "kickstart" tour, we focused on a single area that we had heard great things about - La Candelaria. It is the original part of Bogota and has great architecture and stories. I messaged Nathalie to arrange a private tour for me and my wife of just the Candelaria neighborhood. Lucky for us she happens to have born and raised in that neighborhood. Nathalie was delightful and her tour was fascinating, informative, and unique in that it was coming from someone so intimately familiar with the area. She showed us hidden gems that I guarantee no other tour would see. I highly recommend a tour with Nathalie!Great guide with fantastic local knowledge

Natalie affords you a look through her eyes of a city she so clearly loves.

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.

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
