Excellent tour if you are visiting Marbella and want a fun evening!

Mary_N, Dec 2022

This tour felt like meeting a friend for a night out in their local region. We had so many laughs and the entire evening was warm and friendly. We are still talking about the wonderful time we enjoyed with Christina (or Kristina - not sure of the spelling of her name but she was amazing)!! We highly recommend this tour if you are not familiar with Marbella and want an insiders point of view. We even went back to one of the tapas restaurants for dinner the next night. If you are on the fence about booking this tour - just do it - you will be glad you did!

Fun, food & wine!

Good culinary experience

Lisa_H, May 2022

Lovely evening going to 3 tapas bars. Tons of food at all 3 places Gina was our guide and delightful. She gave us a bit of history as we walked old Marbella I would have liked more walking to more historic sites personally. Gina was very thoughtful to check in on me the next day as I had to leave the tour early
