English guided 2-hour walk in Malaga’s historic centre with Cathedral ticket. See La Manquita, key squares, and nearby Picasso sights.
“Arrived at the square (pickup location) 15 minutes before meeting time. Gave up a half hour after the meeting time. No tour guide ever showed up with an orange umbrella- even though we saw other tours with such guides. This was a real disappointment and would suggest avoiding.”
A 2-hour guided walk in Ronda from Guadalevín and Puente Nuevo to the bullring, with Royal Cavalry entrance included for great value.

Private white taxi tour through Malaga historic highlights: Gibralfaro views, Roman Theater, Alcazaba, La Manquita, port piers and beach.
“This was a great tour. Carlos took me to the Malaga Cathedral, Gibralfaro Castle, the Roman Theater, Alcazaba Fortress, Picasso's birthplace, Picasso Museum, and a couple of scenic spots for pics of the city. He even deviated slightly from the schedule because I requested the Picasso sites. He was right there to pick me up when I was done. I highly recommend this tour, particularly if you want to see a lot and don't have too much time to spend in the area.”
A short night walk in Almuñécar that mixes Andalusian legends with Roman ruins, sea views from San Miguel, and Minerva in a cave museum.
“Kan inte säga något om den, då jag ej har upplevt något. Ingen guide kom! Vi blev totalt lurade. Och trots att jag försökt nå er arrangör så har ingen återkopplat efteråt.”
Private 3-hour Gibraltar tour mixing sea views, St. Michael’s Cave, The Skywalk, Barbary macaques, and WWII tunnels for a fast, focused hit.
“From the time I booked the tour back in February to when we were picked up, communication was spot on and all details were as advertised. My family ( 2 year old grandchild) of five took the 2 1/2 hour private tour and the money was well worth it. Kareem was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We willhighly reccomend him to our friends and if we return would tour with him and the company Inside Tours- Carl.”
Guided Antequera tour for up to 8 people with transport and UNESCO dolmens plus El Torcal viewpoints, led by local experts in English or Spanish.
“The tour is great thanks to the guide. We really enjoyed doing this tour with Gonzalo. Very good explanations and super friendly. I recommend it, although you should allow more time to explore El Torcal as there is a lot to see there.”
Low-cost English self-guided audio walk through ancient Malaga, guided by VoiceMap GPS from Plaza de la Marina to Plaza de la Constitución.
“A very easy to follow and informative tour of the city! Plenty of time to pause and take our time walking through the churches or getting a bite to eat. The only addition I would make is to add in the colosseum, which would be an easy starting point! We completely missed it and that was our only day in Malaga!”
Every kind of day out on this coast, and the best of each.
