“Interesting tour”
The tour was informative and fun. Our guide told interesting stories about the creation of the Alcazaba and the architectural features. She allowed time for questions.
The only frustrating aspect is we were directed to get entry tickets to the Alcazaba ahead of time online and the online system did not work. My husband and I went earlier that morning and got our tickets. The tour group had to wait while some of the group had to get tickets. Slight hiccup.
Highly recommend tour.

“cancelación de excursión”
Reservé este tour en español. Cuando llegué a la hora acordada, me dijeron que el tour sería en inglés ya que no había suficientes hispanohablantes. Aunque los organizadores tenían mi número de teléfono y correo electrónico, nadie me avisó. Esto no es serio

“Genial”
Ha sido una tarde muy agradable. Gloria tiene la capacidad de hacerlo ameno, de “meterte” en el papel y de mostrarte las mil y una maravillas (también las ocultas).
Muchos profes “clasicos” de historia deberían rotar tanto con ella, como con Fani. Un gusto chicas!

“ Highly recommended!”
As it is the landmark of Malaga, we decided to do this tour. In 1.5 hours, Jesús told us a lot about the architecture and, above all, the history of the castle. Highly recommended if you find this kind of thing exciting! It was easy to buy the tickets easily on site or, if you had a combined ticket, you could also use this (there is a combined ticket with which you can visit both the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro within 48 hours).

“Siesta, everything you didn't know about it ”
Really enjoyed my time with Alejandro.
Lots of information, but easily digestible and funny presented. Not only getting boring historical facts but also the idea behind, why was this fortress build that way, where came all those different pillars from...
And the most important piece of information, why is a siesta live saving!
Lukas Walzl (English)

“Amaizing Tour ”
Javier Herrera was the best tour guy i ever had. His english was perfect, he was convining history with funny facts making the experience super engaging and informative. I am originally from Spain and i never knew things he told us. He is very knowledgeable and funny.
We had a tour booked for the morning in Magala but knowing he was doing an afternoon one for the Alcazaba we did not hersiatate to book it.
He advised us where to go and what to see when the tour finished if we want to know more. He even told us what bus we need to take!!!
Javier is a hard working, enthusiastic, professional and well communicator tour guide. If you can book tours with him!

“Too quick or too slow?”
Although the content of the tour was OK, the timing is poor. There was no time to casually explore as, no sooner had the guided tour finished than the guard ushered us out as the fort was closing.
This tour should start at 15:30 or even 15:00.

The tour was really excellent. Our guide Alejandro was very knowledgeable and a great communicator .

Well done !

From tales of old to the current times, he explained about its inhabitants and their day to day life. good view of Malaga, with aditional knowledge of the city (great view of the top of the Manquita Church XD).

“Highly recommended!”
Amanda did a great job showing us around Malaga and sharing her enthusiasm for her city. She was not only professional, but also really funny and attentive to all of us. I'd truly recommend the Alcazaba Free Tour, since there's a lack of information inside the landmark. In fact, we liked the tour so much that we also booked the Free Walking Tour the following day! They definitely made our visit to Malaga much more interesting.
