“It was an absolutely amazing experience to sample food in 4 locations in Malaga. Our tour guide on 14/10/2025, Jose, had an incredible depth of knowledge, offering clear information and catering well for food intolerances. We tried 15 types of tapas with 3 drinks, all of which were exquisite. We were lucky to be paired with a lovely group of Northern ladies, who made it fun. An exceptional tour and highlight of our trip.”
