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

One of the most popular day trips among our visitors is the picturesque town of Ronda. With its breathtaking scenery and romantic charm, it's easy to see why famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke referred to it as the "Dream City". During our walking tour, we'll explore the many beautiful sights that Ronda has to offer, including the New Bridge, symbol of Ronda. And speaking of Ronda's history, have you heard of Tauromaquia and its significance in Spanish culture? What have Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles to do with Ronda? I'll share these fascinating stories with you as we wander through this charming town. **** If you have more time and are looking for additional experiences, we can customize the tour to include a visit to an Iberian Bull and Spanish horses breeding ranch, a wine cellar ("Bodega"), an organic olive oil farm or a white village. Optional: adding a visit to Setenil will have a supplement of 100 € extra. Please request a custom tour!

Amazing tour of Ronda with Maike. This is our second annual trip on a guided tour with her and she did not disappoint again. Very knowledgable, very organized and very accommodating to our mobility needs. We highly recommend!

The city of Ronda is a must see! We had a fabulous day with Maike. She knew how to time our visit to avoid the crowds and long waiting lines. Maike and our driver picked us up at the port in Malaga. During the drive, Maike told us all about the Andalusian countryside...both from a historic and current viewpoint. Once we go to Ronda, we were blown away by the sites and Maike's explanation of the history of this beautiful area. We were able to see the famous bridge over the huge gorge from many different vantage points. After crossing the bridge, we visited the bullfighting stadium, where she explained the art of the bullfighting. Maike also took us to the village of Sentenil de las Bodegas which is built into the caves of the mountain. It's a must see as well. Maike is so knowledgeable and passionate about Andalusia, and she made our day unforgettable!!

Maike was extremely knowledgeable and very organized. We had a family reunion of 16 people of varying ages, from older to pre-teens. She organized a great, right sized bus and kept everyone engaged through the bus trip and walking tours. She was also extremely helpful and patient in organising lunch at establishments that catered to a variety of dietary needs. Her understanding of history, trees, plants and local amenities was invaluable. Thank you Maike!

Our tour of Ronda with Maike was perfect! She set up a wonderful itinerary and handled all of the details for our group of nine from start to finish. Maike had so much information to share and we learned a great deal, not only about Ronda but about Spain in general. We cannot recommend Maike more highly and we wish we could give our experience more than five stars. Maike exceeded our expectations as a tour guide and we are so glad we got to spend the day with her!

We had an ambitious custom itinerary that included Ronda, wine tasting and a transfer from Malaga to Sevilla. It was completely seamless! Maike regaled our family with history, stories, and legends galore along the way. Thank you Maike for another memorable trip in Andalucia and we can't wait to see you again!

We had enjoyed Maike's expertise on an earlier outing to Cordoba and enjoyed the excursion to Ronda even more.Maike understood that some of our party- while not infirm-had difficulty with extensive walks so she arranged the trip so that most of the sites could be seen with the van nearby. High in the mountains, Ronda began as a Roman town and sits on an enormous ravine which has to be seen to be believed. We had a delightful day thanks to the arrangements.
