Doing what: Morocco Day Trip from Malaga to Tangier
This was a great day out. The group knew each other well after a long day together. Given plenty of time to purchase items during the tour and guide even helped us to locate goods we wanted to buy. The lunch was a cultural experience, tasty and catered for a vegitarian.

This tour was very well organised and ran smoothly thanks to our enthusiastic, happy guide who was able to move a large group through immigration speedily. Our local guide was knowledgeable and there were lots of helpers to ensure we tourists didn't get lost in the narrow, winding streets of Tangiers. Visiting the rug and spice shops was interesting, even if it was geared to tourists. The only criticism would be that we left at 5am from Central Malaga and spent the next two hours picking people up from large hotels along the Costa del Sol. This happened on the return trip, too, so the day was very long. We had to get a taxi to our pick up point but everyone else was picked up at their hotel. I understand a bus can't get into Malaga town but surely there is a more efficient, time-effective way to organise these pick ups? Going round and round hotels for two hours was terriblly tedious.

Great trip. Enrique, our Spanish guide was great. They showed up exactly when scheduled and everything was smooth. Once in Morocco, Hassan took over and he was impeccable. Tangiers is an amazing city and a must see if you're visiting southern Spain. Be prepared for a 14-15 hr day from Malaga.

Doing what: Granada Day Trip from Malaga, including the Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens
It’s a bit of mixed feeling with this tour. It is a convenience tour if you have a little time but want to explore more.
The bus takes you to the Alhambra and a knowledgeable local guide takes you around the palace for two hours, the palace was beautiful but slightly overrated in my opinion (14€ entry fee if go on your own); then the bus takes you to Granada town centre around 1-2pm, you have a hour to go around on your own, which I felt a little rush; the final stop was to see the mountain range of Sierra Nevada, it was beautiful but only got 15 mins in there which just enough to take some pictures and go to toilet.
The waiting point in the morning wasn’t clear enough, (No no.14 bus stop and no tour guide was waiting for us as was said on the voucher). We were quite worried when the bus didn’t turn up in time. The bus was 80% full when it finally arrived 15mins later - turn out it was travelling from Estepona since 5-6am. It would be nice if this was mentioned in the booking so we needn’t to worry whether we were waiting at a wrong place or not.
I paid £61 via Viator excludes lunch, but other travellers paid through their hotel for 75€ which includes lunch. However, if you take lunch that you won’t have the time to visit the Granada town centre.
If there were maps provided would be nice, there are free maps of Alhambra but we only picked one up on our way out because we didn’t go through the main gate when the tour started. A Granada city centre map would be very helpful (the one you normally get for free from a tourist information centre) as we have to walk around it on our own, I didn’t really know where to go and see (bad preparation from my side that misunderstood a guide would take us around).
In general, it was an ok tour. I would rate it 3.5. (If you go on your own, 20€ for return by bus)

I should have met the bus closer to Tarifa - the bus ride was long. Also, I did not appreciate being hounded by vendors for most of the tour and being "herded" into specific shops - I took a quick detour to a shop away from the group and got something MUCH cheaper. That being said, it was still a fun day.

Doing what: Seville Day Trip from Malaga
20 minutes late setting off and 3 hour journey to Seville, with 20 minute refreshment stop. Driver, Miguel, was excellent, a very smooth journey. Guide Annabel spoke 5 languages, all very clear and informative, but repetitive. Local guide in Seville (Maria) was hopeless, impatient and unnecessary.

We enjoyed our trip to Morocco and found it very informative, but we felt that we were set up to have all of the market people hound us so that we could barely walk. The tour guide said it was because there were not very many buses of tourists that day, so we had more than the normal badgering, but it put a bad feeling for us about the whole tour. The ferry and lunch were nice.

Doing what: Malaga Airport (Costa del Sol) Private Departure Transfer
The driver met us at airport and did not want to look at the address which we provided to him for our hotel. He dropped us off 5 miles away and left, so we had to take a taxi to the correct hotel.

Doing what: Malaga Super Saver: Morocco and Granada Day Trips Including Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens
excellent value for the 2 trips. Both went very smoothly - well led and organised. Early start to Tangiers was inevitable but getting collected at 5 am was a shock to the system!

The journey was somewhat complex as there were four different languages spoken on the coach. Of necessity the same information was given four times and things were missed because the guide was in the middle of explaining other information. A maximum of three different languages per coach would be preferable. The variety of different language speakers contributed to a prolonged wait in very high temperatures for other groups to re-join the party.

Very enjoyable trip with informative guide. The only issue we had was the guide took no account of the physical abilities of the party and as we are getting on a bit it was difficult at tims to maintain the pace. Apart from that the drive up and back was comfortable and the Alhambra was breathtaking.
