We had a great guide named Jochen. The meeting point was easy to find and Jochen showed us a lot of interesting places in the old town of Marbella. If you were to ask us what we found great about Jochen, it was the friendly, personable and funny way of telling things. We got along really well right away.

This was a brilliant tour covering all the important churches, buildings, the Cathedral, Alcazabar etc. Eduardo our guide was really knowledgable and passionate and was fantastic! Absolutely recommend this tour!

Such a fun experience. Even though we’ve been to old town several times we got to see parts where we’ve never been. A cultural and gastronomic experience I’ve never had before!

Our guide was really nice. He knows a lot about the city and its life style. All the bar and clubs were also very nice

Jochen was excellent company. Would highly recommend
