About this tour
Walk through Marbella's old town with a knowledgeable local who steers you toward authentic tapas bars and bodegas, stopping at four venues to build a complete meal from small plates and regional wines. You'll learn what makes each spot worth visiting—from ingredient sourcing to preparation techniques—while getting a genuine sense of how locals actually eat and drink in this Andalusian town. Three and a half hours, small group, genuine exchange with someone who knows the neighbourhood.

What to expect
You'll spend the afternoon on foot, ducking in and out of neighbourhood bars where locals gather. Your guide won't just order for you—they'll explain why each spot matters and what you're tasting. Expect to stand at counters, lean against bars, and chat with staff. The pace is measured, giving you time to actually savour each plate and sip. By the end, you'll have eaten enough for supper without sitting down for a formal meal.
Groups stay small deliberately, so the guide can give you real attention and the experience feels like exploring with a friend rather than following a tour flag.
