Not value for money

This is not good value for money. One of the three stops was Balsamic tasting - this is not tapas. When we finally had tapas it was poor quality. Guide very friendly but little information on Palma. All in all disappointing.

Terrible tour and value for the price!

I would not do this tour again snd do not recommend it for the price as advertised. Although our guide Claudia was very nice, it was almost an hour into the tour before we arrived at our first “tasting.” It was a single ensimada that was brought to us. We did not get introduced to the bajery or a history of what it was. An hour into the tour, we stopped at a shop selling locally made olive oils, spreads, and meats and while the owners and tour guide was nice, it seemed like pressure to buy the products and at least half the tastings were available to any customer. We felt more like it was an advertisement and pressure to buy. We finally asked if we were going to have any wine, and we were brought to a nice wine tasting shop. There we had a taste of a local port, two small tastings each, four pieces of cheese, and a small piece of tomato bread. The tour was fine - not great it would have been terrible but our tour guide was nice, although didn’t seem to have a good plan in terms of stops and kept asking us what we wanted to see and do. We kept saying we’d like to eat something. For $250USD for two we feel like we were ripped off even the last place offered one glass of wine only and a small sampling of tapas. Both my friend and I were very dysappointed with this tour especially considering the last three tours booked through visitor had been wonderful. I will be contacting thd business to ask for at least a partial Refund.

Great and Delicious Tour!

Bernard did an excellent job introducing us to the old town and some of the wine and good options. We enjoyed our time with him and learned a lot about the area and the history. The food provided was substantial enough to be dinner!

We're delighted to hear that you had a fantastic time exploring the old town, tasting wine, and enjoying the local cuisine. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back to Marbella in Style for another memorable experience!
