Loved the fish!
Our guide was great. We spent a little too much time in the market at different stalls, it was stuffy and hot there even though it was nice to see. The cheeks and fried anchovies at El Pimpi were the best!

Underwhelming
Gabriella was lovely, a great guide. The first two tapas bars were great- traditional Spanish which is just what we wanted to experience. However, the tour didn’t meet the expectations and previous reviews. 1) The tour visited only three venues not 4 as described. 2) The tapas provided were ok, nothing fantastic or memorable. 3) Apart from one traditional wine every other drink was choose your own. 4) the tour ended after 2.5 hours not the 3.5 hours as described. It was underwhelming and a disappointment. Gabriella was lovely though
Response from the operator: Hello, We thank you a lot for your feedback and we would like to apologize if the experience you had didn't meet up your expectations. Indeed, there were some unexpexcted circumstances that led the tour to last a little less than 3 hours, as the last venue, the bakery, has closed sooner than expected and the guide had to go there and get them to take away, so that you could have a taste of a local dessert, such as the pionono, as well. We're sorry if the food and drink selection wasn't memorable as you wished and we will keep this feedback in mind to improve our experience for future customers. We remain available for any further discussion. Kind regards

I LOVE THIS TOUR GUIDE
This has to be the best food tour I have been on yet! So many different things to try, so many glasses of wine haha! Some of the most passionate teaching and such interesting parts of history with the city was included as well as an easy to find meet up point. We had a small group which was very nice, it created a very jolly and intimate atmosphere. If we ever come back definitely booking again!!!

A must book
We enjoyed a truly fantastic day with our guide Rosario. She was a lovely, bubbly, intelligent and very knowledgeable guide who from the start shared her passion for Malaga, its history and obvious love for its food and drink. Rosario shared this all with us throughout and showed us some wonderful food and wine. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Malaga is not rushed.
Is Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 188 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Around 66 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Malaga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Malaga and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malaga Food & Wine Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Malaga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Malaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Malaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malaga City Tour 2 Hours Monumental Segway Tour, Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs, Go local for a day!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Malaga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Malaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
