Hi everyone, my name is David and I'm a licensed Tour guide for one of the most beautiful regions in Spain. . . . . . Andalucia. I was born in Barcelona but I'm 100% Andalusian since I moved to Malaga when I was only 7 years old. In 1993 I got my degree in Tourism and since then I have been working in the tourist sector, so now I'm proud to say that I am quite experienced leading Shore excursions for cruise passengers and tailor-made tours for families, couples and small parties. I am a friendly and cheerful person with 4 passions in this life. . . . traveling, history, cooking and of course my family as I consider myself a family man and I would love to share those passions with you. Under my point of view a good guide should also be a good psychologist given that the most important in a customized tour is to LISTEN to the traveler needs and expectations and carry out the tour accordingly and that's how I understand I have to do my job creating an unique experience for my guests. In my tours I like to create a magic atmosphere combining history, art and our traditional way of life with the most surprising curiosities and the funniest anecdotes, adding of course a bit of the secret potion our delicacies, wines and local cuisine. We have Sun, beaches, History, Art, wonderful museums, lovely people and yummy food therefore ALL WE NEED IS YOU! I'm waiting for you in Málaga, are you coming??? * Official and licensed Tour guide in Andalusia nº 1381 * Official and licensed Tour guide in Canary Island nº 3733 * Member of a professional Tour Guides Association in Málaga (Guidesur) * Graduate in Tourism studies. * Special credentials for the most visited monuments in Andalusia. Alhambra, Picasso Museum, Thyssen Museum, La Concepción Botanical gardens, Nerja Caves, etc. No restrictions

Overview of your Malaga tour

I still remember the first time my parents took me to Ronda, standing at the edge of the gorge and gazing at the horizon with the wonder of a child. Today, that same sense of awe is reflected in the expressions of everyone who joins me to discover the timeless charm of this extraordinary town. No traveler leaves Ronda disappointed. Once a legendary outlaws’ hideout, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, it is the birthplace of modern bullfighting and a place deeply associated with Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, bearing witness to a glorious and fascinating past. Join me on this journey back in time, and experience Ronda in a way you will never forget.

David is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and gracious. Our extended family group came away from our day enriched culturally and intellectually, as well as having had a really fun time! We were blessed by countless thoughtful acts and words from David. We enjoyed a lovely lunch together to close out our time in Ronda. Top notch!

I have been using TOUR BY LOCALS for 2 decades now. The tour was excellent, mostly, because of the tour guide David and the driver that made our visit very comfortable. We were 6 in our 80's but ready to visit the sites selected. He was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating and never stopped answering our many questions throughout the day. Besides going to Ronda, that is a site to be seen and not explained, he found, as requested, some time to also visit Malaga Cathedral and other close by sites in Malaga. They were on time, recommended a nice restaurant for lunch in Ronda and took us to the house Saint Juan Bosco, and was great throughout. Highly recommended.

What a great day exploring Ronda and Setenil with David. He was very knowledgeable, accomodating (e.g., spoke French, gave us alternatives to best suit our preferences, etc) and made a few good jokes to make us laugh. He picked the restaurant for our lunch and he did well. We had time to cover everything we wanted to see in the time he had organized for us without being rushed. Definitely recommend.
