Itinerary
This tour kicks off with a 2 hrs. guided walk through the vibrant center of Malaga, where you’ll visit key highlights and learn about the city’s rich history. Stroll around bustling squares and narrow streets, soaking up the local culture and heritage.
Continue your adventure by winding down the castle’s ancient walls to the Alcazaba, an impressive fortress that stands as a testament to Malaga’s Moorish past. Explore the intricately decorated Palacio Nazarí within the Alcazaba, noting its beautiful arches and ornate courtyards that highlight Moorish architectural brilliance. Built in the same era as the Palacio Nazarí of the Alhambra in Granada, you will observe remarkable similarities between the two, reflecting their shared heritage and architectural splendor.
The final stop of this tour takes you to Malaga’s bustling port, where you’ll board a catamaran for a cruise along the city’s coastline. The cruise offers a relaxing end to a day filled with exploration and discovery.

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
Very informative, great...

Malaga
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.
