Additional Information
This excursion combines two key factors that guarantee a memorable tour around Malaga: the indigenous knowledge of local ‘malagueñas’ and the professional insight of certified tour guides.
We don’t aim to overwhelm you with copious historical data, or treat you as a mere tourist. Our aim is to facilitate an authentic immersion into the city, enabling you to experience it like a true ‘malagueño’.
This engaging activity lasts for 2.5 hours, commencing from Plaza de la Merced, one of the city’s renowned squares.
From there, we venture into the historic district, uncovering both famous and hidden gems of the city centre. Along the way, we’ll discuss history, intriguing facts, and local traditions… What places do the natives frequent, what are our cultural practices, where do we go and what do we consume?
To round off the tour, we will explore the Central Market to sample local delicacies and wrap up with a toast of deliciously sweet wine.

Become Boquerón for a day! - To say it was a great trip would be an understatement. Everything was perfectly organized, and Isa genuinely cared about making everyone feel welcomed. The journey was fascinating and diverse, with a focus on experiencing the local way of life. Historical sites were also beautifully integrated into the itinerary. It's the perfect introduction to exploring Málaga (and Spain) in depth. Highly recommended! Thank you, Isa 😊

If you’re thinking about it - do it! - If you’re thinking about it - do it. Isabel is a wonderful guide. She brings Malaga to life. She is so funny and made the tour informative, but fun! Good, drink, history, culture and interesting anecdotes. It was like a friend was taking you around town. Her passion for Málaga and Spain is contagious. And at the end of our time together Isabel really did feel like a friend.

Great start of your journey - This tour provides perfect balance between insight about culture, local customs and visiting interesting places. All packed into reasonable time duration so we had still time to enjoy rest of day. Now I got list of places to take my friends out.
It is a great introduction and good start for going or more deep exploration of Malaga and Andalusia, but start from this tour as it also helps to get early orientation.
Wine tasting in this old wine bar in Malaga is fantastic experience not just because of wine which is obvious :) but feeling atmosphere and soul of that place.
So worth to go and you also will get super supportive team who keep contact afterwards as well.

Fun, Food, and Fantastic Guide - We had an amazing experience on the “Go Local for a Day” tour in Malaga! Our tour guide, Isabel, was fantastic—personable, friendly, and very informative. She showed us parts of the city we never would have seen on our own and shared fascinating insights about Malaga's history and culture.
We loved sampling some of the local food and appreciated Isabel’s excellent recommendations for other things to see and do and places to eat while in Malaga. The small group size and Isabel’s friendly nature made it feel like we were exploring the city with friends rather than being on a typical walking tour.
Highly recommend this tour and Isabel as a guide!

A must, simply superb - Isabelle is an amazing guide. The tour was informative, funny, and very enjoyable. It is only 2 1/2 hour long, but Isabelle stayed to answer any questions anyone had, from what restaurants to go to (her recommendation was superb) to what to do during Semana Santa!
