About this tour

A private guided tour of Málaga departing from Costa del Sol, exploring the city's architectural and artistic heritage over 4–5 hours.

You'll see the Roman Theatre, climb to the Alcazaba fortress, visit Picasso's birthplace and baptism church, and pause at Constitution Square to absorb its civic importance. Hotel collection and return included; one hour free for your own lunch and browsing.

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to Málaga (roughly one hour each way). Once in the city, your art historian guide walks you through distinct neighbourhoods at a conversational pace. At the Cathedral, they'll explain architectural choices. Calle Larios is lively but navigable; the Market is sensory—colourful stalls, chatter, smells. The Roman Theatre and Alcazaba require some climbing, though there's no rush. You'll have an unscheduled hour midway to eat lunch or shop independently. Expect to be on foot for most of the visit; wear comfortable shoes.
