Brilliant People, Brilliant Experience. - I can’t recommend doing this enough. The food and wine was amazing, the stories behind it even better! You have to do this at least once in your time. The team were amazing, so welcoming and brought great energy. Would 100% do this again!

We had a blast! - We had an absolute blast with our tour guide, Ellie. She introduced us to great local foods and restaurants and taught us the history of each. Her personality was warm and friendly and we felt like we were spending the evening with a friend. We highly recommend this tour if you are in Malaga and want to enjoy an amazing evening out!

Don’t Miss This Tour! - Yummy…….we were treated to a variety of local Malaga foods and really enjoyed the experience. Having viewed Hanni’s YouTube channel before we left home we knew we had to take her tour. Not only did we sample foods from restaurants but were also treated to a visit to a large market and sampled lots of goodies. We have never had such delicious olives and my favorite, the anchovies. Dare I say we also tried a variety of alcohol beverages to complement the meals. As a bonus, we learned the local customs and what not to order if you don’t want to look like a tourist:). Loved it!!

A lovely and delicious Tapas time in Malaga! - We had an excellent time in Malaga with Hanni and Pedro on this lovey tour. We learned about Malaga’s products, culinary evolution, Malaga’s tradition and city history. The tour was so nicely planned. It was not rushed at all, even though we stopped at different locations. Also, owners of places we visited were very cordial, welcoming and their service was great. The tour was enjoyable, and at a great pace, we tasted different local wines, local products, all selected with taste and care. We did not want the tour to end. We loved listening to Hanni and Pedro sharing all they know about Malaga with us. We would take it again and again with “The Tour Experience Team”! Thank you Hanni and Pedro! Gracias de Dani y Chelita! Volveremos!

Wonderful bespoke tour with Hanni!! - WOW - what a fantastic bespoke food tour we did earlier this week with Hanni Martini. First, she is just a lovely person to spend the time with. Of course, when you arrange for a private tour that can happen so much easier than a group tour. Next, since it was a private tour we were able to change things up on the fly. When Hanni found that we had already been to a place she was planning to take us to it was no problem going to another place. Our 3 hour tour went longer because we were all enjoying the time together and the places we went. Drinking 4 vermouths will do that to you! Also, when we arrived at each establishment, we reviewed the food/drink options together and made the selections then based on Hanni's recommendations. Not something you can do on a group tour. We loved our time with Hanni so much we set up another tour for later in the week, this time focused on the "Modern Twist on Spanish Cuisine", a tour created specifically for our interests. Obvious we only have positive things to say about Hanni!!

Great Experience - Hanni gave us a great experience. Great food, great wine, great conversation. It was more than just a tour as she gave a lot of insight to the Malagan food culture. It was one of the highlights of our vacation. I highly recommend this experience.

Enjoyable, educational, and rewarding - We’ve been to Malaga probably more than a dozen times in the past 10 years, and always take ourselves on a mini tour of the food locations in the town. It’s always a great and memorable part of our journey. But there’s a time to get away from old haunts and broaden our horizons. So this time we booked one of the morning food tours with Hanni. The temperature was around 35C, just one of those July Malaga mornings. The tour consists of a short (but three hours!) circuit around the main market in Malaga, just a few places to stop in and try the various foods of the area, with opportunities to go a little off piste if required, depending upon who is on the tour. What Hanni brings to the table (pun intended) is the detailed knowledge of having spent a long time herself living in Malaga, and a great passion for food and Spanish food culture. This really comes into itself when you go into the different shops and meet the people working there, and get to lean on their own expertise. As a people person herself, Hanni really works to bring out your enjoyment of the tour. She makes for some great company with her anecdotes of the area and is very happy to share them with you. There’s no doubt that it’s a really great experience, and I strongly recommend it to anyone going to Malaga, whether for the first time, or as someone who believes they know the area really quite well. There’s always something more that you can get out of the experience with such an expert guide.

Great tour, thoroughly recommended - We booked the market & tapas morning tour, and spent a most enjoyable 3 hours with Hanni, sampling delicious food and drink. All the locations were really close to the market, so there’s not much walking involved, just plenty of food/drink tasting, and learning interesting things about Malaga’s food history from Hanni. We’ve been to Malaga before and had even eaten at a couple of the locations, but Hanni’s input and local knowledge made everywhere more interesting.
