Impressive historical Roman theatre.. - Part of our walking tour , we learned the history of its Roman theatre and the Alcazaba castle which is part of Malaga impressive landmarks. You learn about Roman life as you explore the ruins of the Roman theatre and admire the moorish architecture. It is well situated to visit .

Self tour would be just as good - I think we would have done better with a self tour. Our guide seemed to know his information but struggled with English as a third language. We understand that Romans, Moors, Christians were all involved in Malaga, and perhaps it was our misinformation but our guide was 90% exclusive to Islam or Muslim influences. The only Christian influence was that they “copied the Muslims” with how they decorated ceilings. Very little discussion of Romans. We felt rushed, not getting time to see the only 4 exhibits before walking into the Roman theater. Our guide, Onat(?), needs to slow down. If you’re going to charge for this tour you need to meet in front of the Roman theater to allow more time. Onat has room for improvement and maybe if he did tour in his first language or Spanish even he would do better as I wonder if he failed to note many things as he was unsure how to explain.

Disappointed - this is not an English tour. - As I had booked this on an English website, all in English, I assumed the tour would be in English - it wasn't! Two other people had also booked assuming the same. The guide apologised and admitted the mistake was their website's. We went along anyway and I'm sure it was a great tour if you understood Spanish!

Tour is in Spanish - The tour was in Spanish, even though the site tripadvisor said it was in English. I was not able to follow the tour and I did pay money for it. Do not go on this tour if you do not speak Spanish. I left the tour after a while because it didn't have any purpose for me.
