Hello from Malaga! Thank you very much for visiting my profile, it is a pleasure to accompany you through our region! I came to Spain when I was a child and have been living continuously in Andalusia for more than 35 years. Curious as I am, from the beginning I explored the different provinces of this fascinating region and I continue to closely follow all the changes and developments in this fascinating community. In my younger years, I studied business, worked in fashion and hospitality, and for many years I combined my work as a guide with audiovisual productions as a location scout, thanks to my extensive knowledge of the region. In the last 10 years, however, I have focused mainly on private travelers. After many years of leading groups as a guide and tour leader, I prefer to show our region in a more personalized way, trying above all to avoid the overcrowding that is so common today. Of course, there are top tourist attractions where you'll always find many other visitors, but I know perfectly well how to avoid the crowds. However, there are still less-visited places where you can discover authenticity and traditions. All my published tours have high ratings, but there are still many places I'd love to suggest, on a tour completely tailored to your preferences. Of course, there are tours that are always highly sought after, such as the Alhambra in Granada, Ronda, and of course our city of Malaga, which in recent years has become one of the most popular destinations. But don't forget that there are many more possibilities. I'd be delighted to suggest the most suitable option for your interests, adapted to your family (especially when several generations are traveling together). Don't hesitate to contact me for your stay in our region!

For all Shore excursions and tours for more than 3 pax I use a local provider for vehicles of all sizes. (Minivan, minibus and can arrange a bus for larger groups.) If you have a rental car at your disposal we can agree the use of it or a meeting place at a convenient place. **** Alhambra in Granada sells out quickly! Please make sure to contact me with sufficent time in advance! 3 months prior to the date of your visit is recommendable.

Overview of your Malaga tour

Would you like to get the best panoramic views all over Malaga? A place where you can see the whole city from above? Take it for granted, I will take you to Gibralfaro Hill! Have you heard about the white villages of Andalusia? Mijas is one of them and specially famous for the donkey taxis, they certainly are unique! Do you know that on top the hill was located a walled fortification called Alcazaba? I will show you the remains and how the village was transformed after its conquest in late 15th century. Let us stroll around the beautiful gardens, view points, fountains during a guided walking tour, and then you certainly wish to have some time at leisure for shopping, tapas, etc. Mijas is just simply one of Andalusia's highlights and this is one of the favorite tours of my travelers. *** Upon request we can add a workshop at the local chocolate factory, please ask for a custom itinerary.

We had a really wonderful tour with Maike. She has particularly extensive and deep knowledge, and imparts it with enthusiasm and in an enjoyable way, so we learned a lot about this beautiful area.

Our tour was amazing. My only complaint is that we didn't have more time to spend in such a beautiful place. Our guide did a wonderful job explaining the history of the area and tying it to modern times. The chocolate making experience was a nice respite from the HOT midday sun. I look forward to coming back to beautiful Malaga and Mijas. I would recommend this tour and our guide to anyone without reservation.

I could not have asked for more from Maike, I felt an immediate connection-like meeting a friend from the start. I feel I saw much more of Madeira than I would have from a ship tour. Should I have a chance to return Maike will be the first call I will make. A wonderful day, great local food and of course the local wine too. Thank you Maike for a wonderful day.
