A day well spent in the old town of Marbella - Our guide was Sofi and she was absolutely brilliant. Loads of information about the history of Andalucia and the old town of Marbella but told in a really engaging, funny way. First class tour, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Marbella a beautiful city - Javier was an excellent guide. We arrived in Marbella about an hour and a half early. We walked a round a little and had a churro with some coffee. The old town looked nice but we really didn’t know what we were looking at. Javier opened our eyes and we saw how beautiful Marbella really was. I suggest paying for parking right across from the meeting point. It is really convenient. If the weather is nice make sure you walk some of the boardwalk.

Best walking tour - Javier was the best tour guide we have had in our many years of travel. He connected with each person and the whole group to make the 1.5 hour walking tour enjoyable. We learned interesting and fun facts about Marbella and the area. I highly recommend Javier for any of his tours.

Excellent Tour - Javier made a connection with everyone on the tour and was very personable. His enthusiasm for the area and history of Marbella as well as Andalusia was evident. We learned a lot. The final stop at the olive oil shop was a special treat.

A really enjoyable tour of Marbella and the old town - We had a really great tour, our guide was knowledgable and friendly and we got to know lots about the history of Marbella. She was able to give us some great recommendations for restaurants and the highlight came at the end when she had organised an olive oil tasting session at one of the local shops in the old town. I'd highly recommend this tour if you are looking to spend a few hours getting to know the town a bit better.

Interesting Tour - It was all quite fast-packed and only covered a small portion of the history of the old town. Disappointing to end the tour at an olive-oil tasting shop as there was an expectation to buy some.
