A well paced tour with excellent guide Lucy with the red umbrella. My husband is post operative and needs to go at slower pace. At no time did we feel rushed.

Castle Tour

Easy to find guide quite informative but spoke very very fast which made it difficult to keep up not much info given on the castle would have been just as easy to do it yourself
★★★★★ Viator review
Very good introduction to the city.
Wen_G, October 2026
Very easy walk/hike up the Alcazaba, with the guide (Javier) providing detailed explanations of its ancient and more modern history. The guide walked at a slow pace, where people of all ages can follow along easily. However, comfortable footwear is still suggested as some of the steps are uneven. The guide then provided additional recommendations about restaurants, activities, other attractions of Malaga.
