On our exciting tour, we will take you through Malaga’s impressive Roman and Moorish past, revealing the secrets hidden behind two incredible monuments.

The Alcazaba is a World Heritage-listed fortress that offers spectacular panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. We will immerse ourselves in its unique architecture with Muslim influences, to tell you how it was built to protect its inhabitants more than a thousand years ago.

Afterwards, we will walk to the ancient Roman Theater, where you can relive the greatness of the Roman Empire. Imagine the plays performed on this majestic stage almost two millennia ago. Learn about its intriguing history as we stroll among the ancient stands and columns that still stand.

Resultó muy agradable y enriquecedor. Lo único que creo que la guía podría evitar comentarios sobre la gestión que tiene pendiente en el ayuntamiento, cosa que fue constante. Conozco Málaga desde hace muchos años ,y se nota la gran mejora que ha tenido la ciudad. Siempre quedan cosas pendientes, pero no hace falta hacer remarcarlas continuamente. Un saludo

I'm so glad I took this tour. It is the perfect start of a Malaga Trip and makes you want to explore the city more closely. Alvaro is a funny young man and a perfect tour guide. He loves the city, knows it very well and you really enjoy listening to him talk about it! In this 1 hour and 45 minutes we learned a lot of interesting things about the city, the history and the Andalusians. The tour should definitely be on your to-do list if you are planning a trip to Malaga.
