Excellent half day plus tour, perfect for me as a senior as I cannot walk steep hills and need rests. Mercedes is a very knowledgeable and lovely guide, and I learned a lot.

These experiences with tourists of various cultures gave me a deeper awareness of the many issues that arise when dealing with a visitor's idea of a "Perfect Tour" …… but, very soon, I drew a passion for the South of Spain , its Art, History and Andalusian Culture . So, I started a new adventure by moving to Malaga City where I now live , a Brilliant city in every sense: Cosmopolitan and friendly , modern and traditional, lively at night and quite during the day and with an average annual temperature of around 20ºC . . . . MALAGA IS JUST MADE FOR YOU !!! Here you will view and admire the monumental heritage which Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs have left us , enjoy the beauty of the art in display and then try the exquisite gastronomy while you enjoy a drink on a terrace of a bar. . . MY GOAL is to transmit to you my love for this area, to make of your visit a Local Living Experience , to make you feel as a "Malagueño"as you get an insight of the true Spain. Working as a Guide is a fundamental part of my life . I love sharing Knowledge and Experiences but , above all, I love our Guests to discover our Beautiful Cities, Traditions and Spanish Way of Life.

Mercedes was a wonderful guide in Malaga. We enjoyed our walking tour through the historic area, cathedrals and market. We learned about history, cultural practices, traditions, architecture and life in Malaga. This is a great walking tour, especially if you’ve been to Malaga in the past, but only had time to visit The Alhambra, an all-day activity from the port of Malaga. If you visit during Easter, we learned the many processions, a religious, cultural and social event, shouldn’t be missed.

Mercedes was excellent in showing me Malaga. She gave me a full summary and history of the city and how it developed over years. We walked by a number of the more important buildings on our way to the older part of town, where we spent much of our time. This was very good and rich with history and stories. She is very close to City and loves Malaga very much - and it shows! I really enjoy my 4 hours with her. Highly recommend her!!

Mercedes showed us around Malaga, expaining the development of the city in an original way. She was understanding of our needs and interests.

A very good walking tour of the old city in Malaga. Our tour guide provided an excellent Spanish lunch at a restaurant frequented by locals. We appreciated the initial taxi ride to the harbour viewpoint. We really enjoyed getting into the local market.
