What a great tapas tasting experience! Anais was such a pleasure to have as our guide. She was very attentive, personable, explained the cultural aspects and shared many insightful details about the food we were tasting and beyond. After the trip she even sent all the names of things we tried as well as the locations of places we tried the food at.
Elise was a wonderful guide! Our group ranged in age from 10-70 and we all enjoyed the tour.
We love this tour. It’s our second time. Both Javi snd Emilio are absolutely amazing! You learn a lot, laugh a lot, eat and drink even more. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
What an amazing tour! Emilio was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about each of our stops. I learned so much about Malaga!
Emilio was an absolutely amazing tour guide. I learned so much from my time with him and he introduced us to amazing food. I highly recommend a tour with him!!
Love this tour! The meeting point is so easy to find, the stops were varied and interesting and the food was great. Elise, our guide, was super. She is so enthusiastic about Malaga and its history/cuisine/architecture and shares it all! We’ll be back.
Couldn’t recommend more! Elise was very friendly and knowledgeable and truly made it an unforgettable experience.
Tip top, we enjoyed everything very much.
A fantastic experience with Emilio. We were a group of eight and, for several of the group, this was their first food tour. Emilio’s energy, engaging style and knowledge made the tour a real highlight of the trip. You see some places you would have never found on your own and the quality of food and drink is awesome. Highly, highly recommended.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Emilio's energy, knowledge, and engaging style made such a lasting impression, especially for those experiencing their first food tour. It means the world to us that the experience was a highlight of your trip, and we hope to welcome your group back to explore more of Spain's incredible food scene!
Javi was the best!! He was very informative and delightful! Food and drinks were yummy!! Highly recommend!
