When we think of Malaga, Torremolinos, Marbella, or the Costa del Sol come to mind… In short, charming beaches with the sun and its iconic beach bars are what come to mind first.

But Malaga is much more than just the sun and beaches! In the beautiful province of Andalusia lies an old town of great historical and artistic value and is a place worth visiting. Due to the great variety of historical monuments that the city has, we recommend taking a guided tour of Malaga, since it is the easiest way we have at our disposal to get to know this city.

That is why this province offers us a great variety of guided tours, so the task of choosing just one is often complicated. To facilitate this task, we are giving you detailed information about the guided tours that you can take in the city of Malaga and the nearby towns.

What options do I have to do a guided tour in Malaga?

- If you want to explore every corner of Malaga uniquely and exclusively, we recommend taking a private guided tour. With this tour, you can visit the most impressive monuments of the city, accompanied at all times by an expert guide who will explain their history and unknown facts and anecdotes of these places. You will walk through Calle Larios, or Plaza de la Constitución, and you can visit the Cathedral of the Incarnation, known as 'la manquita'. These guided tours last between 2 and 6 hours and are undoubtedly one of the best ways to get to explore the city since you will have a tour guide exclusively for you throughout the day.

- If you come to visit Malaga with children, we recommend two types of guided tours. The best options for you are to do a dramatized guided tour or a tourist route specifically designed for the youngest members of the house. The dramatized guided tours consist of walking the streets and visiting the most important monuments of the city, but with a twist. You will get to meet actors who embody the most historical figures of the city, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway or Antonio Gala!

The tourist routes designed for children are conducted to help them know the history of the city in a simple yet captivating manner. A tour guide will explain all the fascinating facts in a manner, and a language adaptable to children. If you wish for the whole family to fall in love with the city and enjoy it together, this is the best option! You are sure to spend an unforgettable day in Malaga.

- Malaga offers the possibility of taking a guided night tour. This is a unique way to get to know a different facet of this city. Malaga's nightlife is special, which is why we believe that this type of guided tour is essential if you want to fall in love with the city. These routes usually last 2 hours, during which time you will visit the most impressive viewpoints and terraces to contemplate the incredible lighting that Malaga offers us.

- If you already know this Andalusian city, we recommend taking a guided tour of Nerja and Frigiliana. These municipalities offer us the possibility of seeing the Malaga coast most extraordinarily. Nerja is known for having the famous balcony of Europe and this place owes its name to King Alfonso XII, who looked out from this viewpoint, observed Africa, and nicknamed the place with this name. On the other hand, Frigiliana is one of the most beautiful white villages on the Costa del Sol. This town in the Axarquía region does not offer a multitude of streets and monuments to visit. Instead, you will witness some of the most beautiful neighbourhoods. Once you're here, you cannot stop strolling through the Mudejar neighbourhood, visiting the house of Apero, or the Palace of the Counts of Frigiliana.

- Taking a guided tour of Ronda, is another of these highly recommended guided tours on the Costa del Sol. Here you can admire the grandeur of the Guadalquivir river from the famous new bridge, and the guided tours that pass through this municipality tend to visit places so emblematic such as the bullring, the Mondragón palace, Don Bosco's house or the Arab baths. This guided tour is highly recommended for all those who already know the historic centre of Malaga, and want to continue soaking up the culture and history of this Andalusian province.

Do not hesitate and come and enjoy all the charms that this Andalusian province puts at our disposal and feel like a true Malaga resident. Know some of the most unexplored corners and stories of the city.
