Having been disappointed by the Castillo being closed we walked down to this landmark only to find out it too was closed, but at least this time there was a reason given - the windy weather.
We had registered in English by mistake for the visit of the Roman theater and the alcazar, Candy was kind enough to give us the explanations also in Spanish, language we were more proficient in. We had a great time Thank you Candy for your professionalism
We had a tour with Candi. She was great, very nice and professional at the same time. She presented the roman theater and Alcazaba in an informative, but very interesting way, spicing it up with some recent history stories and details. Over all, highly recommended as an English tour guide.
Excellent tour. Rachel was knowledgeable, passionate about Malaga, and a very good storyteller. We thoroughly enjoyed it - added so much to our Alcazaba visit. Highly recommended.
The small Roman theatre is visible from the outside. But you can also go through the building on the left to walk inside the theater for free. The ladies of the reception do not speak French but always find a solution to make themselves understood. They were very nice and explained that there was a small museum inside the building. However, Google Translation had to be released because the posters are not in French, but only in Spanish. The little walk to Alcazaba is really nice and very nice. We hesitated because some people said there was little point in going up there. But yet you have a magnificent view of the whole city and the interior and beautiful. Thanks to the phone, you can scan the QR code and have information throughout the ride in several languages.
Beautiful views but a long walk in the Alcazaba. The views of the city were wonderful and there is plenty of history. We are glad we went
We were just a group of 3 and Rachel was an excellent tour guide. She had lots of pictures and information and answered any questions we had. The small size made for a create your and would highly recommend it (especially if Rachel is your guide)!
Craig, i loved your review! Thank you so much :) I really enjoyed the experience. See you soon, Raquel Haro.
First class tour. Thank you to Candida who is a professional, knowledgeable and engaging guide. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a morning.
Kevin, thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it ^^ Hope you liked Malaga and you want to come back soon. Best regards, Cándida.
We took a guided tour with Raquel to the Alcazaba and the Roman theater. Experience of 10! He explained everything to us brilliantly and made it very enjoyable. In addition, he has been able to answer all of our questions, providing more information and telling us curiosities. He has been very kind and has put a lot of effort into it. You can tell that he likes what he does and that he knows what he's talking about. He has also given us recommendations and advice about the city. Without a doubt, we would repeat with her. Thank you, Rachel!
