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

David was great. He was waiting and the designated meeting and communicating with us via the website. He was happy to have 2 additional friends whose tour on Malaga had been cancelled. The tour itself was excellent. David is extremely knowledgeable about his city and communicates very well. As an older couple he was concerned about pace and stairs looking out for us. Stopped for drinks and restroom. Great tour. Highly recommended.

David gave us an excellent tour of Malaga. He shared so much about the history and culture as well as some very interesting “tidbits” we would have never known without him. We highly recommend David and his tours.

We had a great tour of Malaga Center with David. he was accommodating, informative, and respected our limitations (my husband uses stick). We walked slowly, took elevators and never felt rushed. David made a reservation for the lunch for us at the end of the tour (husbands birthday). The lunch was delicious, place was quiet and cool with great views. David also recommended few places to spend sometime after the tour in the center of Malaga but it became too hot so we came back on our cruise ship. He also recommended great ceramics shop at my request. We can wholeheartedly recommend David for Malaga tour and hope to be back in Malaga again someday. Thank you , David for welcoming us to your city and sharing Malaga with us!

Your Malaga tour itinerary

We will stroll at your own pace discovering the highlights of the old "Malaca" such as: - "Atarazanas" local market - Nineteenth-century "Marques de Larios" Street. - Plaza Constitution - Renaissance Cathedral - Alcazaba (Moorish fortress) - Roman Theater - Plaza de la Merced and Birthplace of Picasso - Several churches (Santiago, San Juan, etc) and museums (Picasso, Thyssen, Fine arts, etc) Málaga is an easy walking city but if you need to stop to recover energy, if you want to visit any Museum, our cathedral or church or just because you feel in the mood, all you have to say is: David, Let's do it!!!
