Oscar was a great guide. We had about 20 people - not too many but Oscar did a great job keeping tabs on everyone. This tour is one you should do at the beginning of your visit as you may discover some things you'll want to go back to. The finishing afternoon catamaran tour was very nice. Had calm seas and nice weather. The marina area was nice and the staff was very attentive.

Need to be in decent shape for this tour

It is a very long day with lots of walking, steps, and steep inclines. Going up And down these places is not for those who cannot do This physically

3hours of the walking tour. Then a 2 hour break. Last is an hour boat ride. Lots of history and Spanish interpretation.

Malaga on foot

A general overview and a very good walk. For a first time visitor I was expecting more depth on the history and points of interest. The guide was very good and very pleasant and answered my questions when asked.
