Better than wandering around the city without directions, why don’t you take the most complete historical tour in town? With our Malaga Highlights tour we will go one step further in this historical immersion
Discover the must-see places as you explore Malaga with a licensed local guide, always in a small group tour with no more than 14 people, to keep it familiar and cozy! Visit monuments, hidden places for tourists, and much more. Take in the city’s major attractions as the Moorish Fortress Alcazaba, 2000 years old Roman Theater and Renaissance Cathedral with all tickets & skip the line included. This is the history version without food of our Ultimate Malaga History & Food
You’ll get simply the best with this combination of history & local life in a single experience to get a 360 perspective of Malaga
*On Sundays the Cathedral is closed, we will visit from the outside
We’ll get started with a brief introduction of the tour! Our licensed tour guide will give you a short summary about what it’s included and timing.
First, we’ll head to the monumental area, located in the Historical Center of Malaga. On the way to the Cathedral, your local guide will explain all anecdotes and history behind the main street “calle Larios” and Plaza de la Constitución. After that, you will arrive to the Bishop’s Square, an impressive square where to admire the beauty of this Baroque façade. After that we’ll head to the main entrance of Malaga’s Cathedral. Skip the line and have a sit, time for explanations in depth about its construction and history. You will be amazed to discover the links between this building and the independence of the USA.
After this history and culture immersion, next stop: the Moorish Fortress Alcazaba, an astonishing Fortress 1000 years old. We will get lost wandering thru its old paths and historical rooms, including the beautiful courtyards. From here we can enjoy some of the best views of Malaga, since the fortress is on top of the hill.
Following this fortress and on our way down to the Historical Center we will visit the 2000 years old Roman Theater of Malaga, to get a real feeling of the Roman Empire like Julius Caesar.
At the end of the tour, with your appetite of history and culture completely fulfilled, you’ll have done much more than seen old stones, you’ll understand Malaga from a wider perspective, and we bet it will have found a place in your heart ❤️

EXCELLENTBased on 770 reviewsAlex M16. August, 2024.A+ Experience Great experience and excellent value! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He led us through the Alcazaba in a way that avoided the throngs of other tourists and gave us relevant information while also keeping the tour moving at a good pace. We weren’t able to enter the Cathedral because a Mass was taking place; however, that part of the tour was substituted with a visit to Malaga’s oldest ice cream shop. Definitely recommend this tour if you have limited time and want to see the highlights.Robert D17. May, 2024.Best tapas &brief tour The no-lines access, historical highlights and great local tapas restaurants were fantastic … tour guide was great, very informative and personable!Colleen B8. May, 2024.Wonderful tour Damian was a fantastic guide! This is a very very good tour - informative, fun and delicious! Would definitely recommend.Janice S3. May, 2024.Walk a little Eat a lot It turned out we were the only ones on this fabulous tour with Damien. He did a great job showing us the Alcazaba Fortress, Roman Theater, and Cathedral. Having him to ourselves made it very in-depth. The two bars we went to for tapas were great. We enjoyed the wine and varied food choices. This part may have been a little more fun with others. We were only in Malaga for 24 hours and we felt we really got a good feel for the culture and gastronomy thanks to Damien.Karen O17. April, 2024.This tour is excellent and a great place to start learning about Malaga history. This was our first tour on first day in Malaga. It was great for seeing the “must see” fortress and the cathedral and of course the Roman theater. If we were on our own we could never have had the time to get into the fortress or the cathedral for such a quality experience. With Paco, we walked past literally everyone in the ultimate skip the line. For the church, there were a couple hundred people, waiting to get in after mass, and we four plus Paco walked in around twenty minutes ahead of the line. I seriously felt like some kind of VIP and it was nice to be able to get a start on seeing all that is inside the cathedral with very few people at all inside. We had tapas at one place inside and then another outside under a shade. All the food and wine was superb. I’ve been here four days now and with so much to see, I am so grateful I chose this tour and hit the ground running with these important sights.Ron T8. April, 2024.Must do in malaga Damien was our guide. Was one of the best guided tours I've ever experienced He was very knowledgeable as well as funny. Our group of 6 had a great time.Lisa A10. March, 2024.Excellent!! A great experience with our guide Paco! We enjoyed the food, drinks and culture. The tour is excellent and highly recommended!tedaileen29. February, 2024.Nuggets of knowledge and fun We were fortunate to get Miguel as our tour guide but after reading reviews I’m sure they are fantastic. Miguel has a passion for his city and started the company and only hires those that have the same passion and love for Malaga, travel and people as he does. We always book a walking tour in every new city we travel to. We have never had a bad or average tour. But this tour with Miguel was on a different level. I’d love to share all the amazing things he pointed out but I have a feeling they are great at reading folks and what their interests are. The nuggets of knowledge he dropped on us was amazing. To visit Malaga without doing this tour would be a mistake. If I could give 7 out of 5 stars I would. It was perfect and not many things are. Thank you again Miguel. Aileen and I had a fabulous time. Salud! TedDawn J31. January, 2024.A fun way to learn history & try new foods This was an outstanding tour! Paco was our guide and as a long time local he was quite knowledgeable about the history of the cathedral and fort that we toured. There was only ourselves and one other couple on our tour, which made it even more enjoyable. Paco included 2 restaurant stops and we enjoyed delicious food. To my surprise, my very favorite item was thinly sliced eggplant that was coated in sugar and served with maple syrup. That's a great way to eat vegetables! My husband and I would both highly recommend this company and Paco to other Malaga travelers.Susana A16. January, 2024.Amazing Malaga walking tour Paco is an amazing guide! We loved the tour, we were a big family - 10 people - from 3 to 89-years-old, and he was able to please everyone. He's polite, fun, patient and knows everything about the city. In this picture, my father and him having a great time. Strongly recommend!
