A fabulous experience! - This was a wonderful tour around the old part of Malaga. Isabel is passionate about Malaga and is incredibly knowledgable. We went to places I don’t think we would have noticed without her showing us, for example the thrones. She took us to an independent shop to try a pastry and we went to the market where we sampled olives, nuts and figs. It was clear that she was much respected and well known locally. Much of the joy of the tour is Isabel herself, her English is excellent and she has a wonderful sense of humour. She helped us with our Spanish pronunciation (still not sure I’ve got ‘paella’ quite right!) and at the end of the tour, sent us loads of additional information. After the tour finished, we went to one of her recommendations for lunch (Casa Lola) and it was excellent. Definitely recommended. A brilliant tour.

Really fun and worth it! - Isabel was a great guide and it was a very personal and memorable experience. As Isabel says herself, she wants it to feel like hanging out with a friend and it definitely felt that way. Well worth it!

The best way to see, know and understand Mskaga - We both enjoyed our tour with Isabel who was extremely knowledgeable and excellent at keeping us fully engaged throughout. This was my second city guided tour and I'm fully converted to doing one in every city I visit now because of all the hints and tips for what to do and where to go as well as the best eating and drinking spots you're given! Isa made me see Malaga in a completely different way, with far more interest and awareness. She is a truly devoted and wonderful guide. I am so delighted to have met her. I hope to employ Isa as a guide for other parts of this area in the future for sure.

Not to be missed - This tour of Malaga was well worth while. Isabel has a great knowledge of the area and its history. She is a fantastic guide - a lot of fun and very good at bringing our small group together. And the opportunity to try some of the local products was an unexpected bonus.

A Superb Introduction to the City of Málaga - I chose this tour because of what others had written about Isabel. I agree with all those comments. She is a terrific guide, for whom nothing is too much trouble. As a native of Málaga she knows everything there is to know about the city. Her love of Málaga and her enthusiasm for introducing the city to others shine through. The fact that the tour lasted longer than the advertised time speaks volumes for her commitment.

Amazing experience. Would highly recommend - Isabel was an absolutely brilliant tour guide. Even though the other people on the tour cancelled at the last minute, she still went ahead with the tour with only myself. It was a fantastic experience. I learnt so much about beautiful Malaga that I didn’t know before. I got to try lots of local delicacies which were very enjoyable. I will be revisiting these places in order to purchase presents to take home. I can highly recommend Isabel’s tour. She is super friendly, very knowledgable and was able to communicate Sunday with me despite my total ignorance at speaking zero Spanish. A absolutely beautiful couple of hours spent in beautiful Malaga with an amazing and lovely person, just perfect!

Amazing Tour! - This was the best walking tour we have ever done. Isabel was amazing and very knowledgable about Malaga and the local area. We visited many of the sights of Malaga and also got to try food and drink from the region. Isabel also gave us great recommendations for things to do and where to eat.
