Hola dear friends! Bienvenidos a Málaga, I am Carolina! I am Portuguese, and Oporto is the town where I grew up and lived until 2016, the year when I met the love of my life (my boyfriend Manuel) in Málaga, Spain! Since then I keep being in love with him, but I also fell in love with the beautiful Málaga, the city I consider now my home! Growing up with my mom (retired teacher), and my father (former tour guide) I was always surrounded by books, and soon discover my passion for culture and traveling, so when I was 14 years old I decided to become a tour guide, and during high school and university I never stop chasing my dream, that became true in 2007, after I graduated in Tourism. Later I became a licensed guide in Andalucía (Spain) , and since then I've been able to live my dream and I every day I feel very fortunate to be able to express the passion for what I do and to show to you the beauty of all the places where I guide. During these last years I had the chance to guide and travel substantially in Europe, doing cultural tours, wine & food tours, religious pilgrimages which exposed me to many different cultures and people during those trips, helping to shape the person I am today. I also consider myself a "people person", and in fact that is probably what I really enjoy the most about guiding, surrounding myself with great people and having the chance to exchange experiences and to communicate with my travelers, often creating lifetime bonds. I also love being with my friends and family, if possible enjoying some nice food and drinks (I am a foodie that loves rooftop terraces), but enjoy very much hiking, snorkeling, and sing out loud both when driving or in live music concerts! All this time living in Málaga made me realize that this is the city where I want to settle and live the rest of my life, and my Portuguese friends call me "Malagueña by heart" because they know how much I love Spain and how well I've adapted to this incredible town where the climate is mild and generous, the people are welcoming and dynamic, the gastronomy is rich an colorful, the architecture combines tradition with contemporaneity and I have the chance not only to enjoy all this for myself, but also to share with you what I experience everyday as a local. Together we can taste all the wonders of Malaga's gastronomy and wines, we can get lost in the old town and letting ourselves get amazed by the architecture and local culture by interacting with locals. Or I can help you learn more about Picasso' first steps towards affirmation as a remarkable artist or just to discover other fascinating cities of our province like Ronda and its striking surroundings. Come to Málaga, I will help you feel all the great energy of this vibrant city and together we'll experience a true immersion on the meaning of being a malagueño. Olé!!!

If you are looking forward to a getaway into impactful landscapes that have inspired writers and artists, if you love the countryside with its olive trees, farms, and livestock or Spanish traditions like bullfights, this full day tour of Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas is made for you! Departing from Málaga with our private vehicle you'll enjoy an unforgettable scenic ride that will take us to Ronda, a magical town with a breathtaking canyon that inspired romantic travelers but also the scenery for some novels written by Ernest Hemingway, and the birthplace of bullfighters who were admired by Orson Wells. Getting lost in its narrow lanes full of beautiful doors, intricate wrought iron windows and lovely people we will immerse into its culture, and taste some authentic local flavors like ham or cheese. We'll also visit Setenil de las bodegas, a charming white washed village with unique houses emerging from boulders and lovely narrow lanes.
It was a great tour. We really enjoyed the time with our tour guide. Carolina was excellent, very professional, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She was giving very detailed information about everything and answering all our questions very patiently.
Amazing experience, far above our expectations. Carolina is very knowledgeable and very flexible in how we approached our tour. We can’t recommend her enough, she is great.
Carolina was warm professional, extremely knowledgeable, sensitive to our ability to absorb information. She kept the pace flexible and timed it perfectly so that we could have lunch without waiting on a Sunday in Setenil. Thoroughly enjoyed our day with her!
Not knowing the geography of our upcoming cruise we were intrigued by the description of Ronda nd Setinil on Carolina's proposed tour. It was the highlight of our trip! Carolina is charming and fun, showed us some amazing and beautiful sites, and brought us to places we hadn't been familiar with prior to viewing the TBL site. Wonderful day!
Carolina gave an excellent full day tour of Ronda and Setenil de Las Bodegas. She provides a very well organized explanation of relevant history and has many interesting anecdotes about the region. She is a very gracious host and we enjoyed having lunch with her. We learned a lot and had a very good time. Carolina knows some of the folks who work in Ronda and it was nice to meet them. Augustine (the driver) was also very nice and took good care of us on the round trip from Malaga. The vehicle is a new VW passenger van and was quite comfortable and safe. We found the private tour (me, my wife and one of my adult sons) to be a good value even though it costs more than a group tour. Carolina was one of the better guides we’ve ever had.
Caroline is the best guide I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She hired a driver who picked us up in a new luxury van and we drove from Malaga to Granada. Carolina arranged the tour of the Alhambra and we never waited in a single line. She is so knowledgeable and you can tell that she really loves her work. We then walked through the town and had a lovely lunch. 10/10 ! I can’t recommend her enough!
