Great tour of the Alcazaba! - This was a great tour and well worth the cost! Booking was easy. Our tour guide, Salvatore, was excellent. The tour was very informative and presented in an interesting, storytelling style (with humour). Salvatore communicated key details about the day (e.g., length of tour, washroom access, points to purchase water, etc.) early on so we knew what to expect. He was very accommodating and answered questions knowledgeably. The Alcazaba itself was impressive to see and to walk through.

Our Guide, Salvatore was excellent. He was fantastic with all ages of our group. Perfect amount of time & great history. - Salvatore appealed to ages from 8 yrs to 75 by giving an history lesson with enthusiasm and passion allowing the listener to feel as if they were experiencing the past with his description.

Perfect Guide for a very interesting tour - Few better guides than Jesus. Tour to a thousand degrees, in August, in Malaga, and knew how to take us by the shade at all times. Super fun and useful, interesting and entertaining information. Besides being a funny guy. Really 100% recommended. To see that without this tour it is better not to go, you barely know something even with Audio Guide.

Memorable day - Salvador was right on time where designated! So glad we began at 10:30 because it was crowds coming in 2 hours later! He was an excellent guide who made the past come alive with his explanations on the battle of Christians attacking the fort! Lovely place - not as grand as the Alejambra in Seville- but well worth the climb! I had a knee replacement 5 months ago and used a walking stick to climb and so up and down stairs! This is not for those who can’t climb steps! Loved Malaga!!

Recommended experience and sensational guide - The experience was very entertaining and enriching. It didn’t get short or long and we learned a lot about Malaga culture and the history of the Alcazaba and the city. The guide was very entertaining and attentive and told us some extra experiences we could do for the city. We did it at 17:00, which I would recommend not to do if you can because of the heat, although inside the Alcazaba ran the air. Highly recommended!

Great visit to the Alcazaba - Jesus, our guide, made it a unique visit. Very, very entertaining, both for adults and young people. The place is spectacular, and Jesus’ explanations give you a little glimpse into the history of the place.
