3.Malaga Private Walking Tour, Alcazaba & Catamaran Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 159 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $264Top rated

You’ll tour Málaga’s center and Moorish Alcazaba with a private English-speaking guide, then board a catamaran from the port. Guides including Enrique, Oscar, Nahuel, and Martha have led well-regarded outings, with skip-the-line access and a taxi sometimes used for the uphill castle route.

“The walk was terrific! There was rain, but, of course, it wasn’t the fault of the touring company or our guide! The Alcazaba was fascinating. Enrique, our guide, was quite knowledgeable and entertaining! His commentary made the tour very informative. Although the palace was nice, it was our opinion that we could’ve bypassed the taxi ride and the palace and gone straight to the catamaran ride. Again, the palace was nice and the taxi ride was appreciated, but it was a bit disjunct. But, again, Enrique was EXCELLENT!!”
