“Best day on our 11 cruise! Kay the boss and Fenne our guide first made sure our bikes fit and we knew how to operate them. Fenne then led us around the city and somehow through the people walking about without us hitting anyone! The tour was very flat and hit all the high points in the city. After touring the city, Fenne led us through a beautiful park. Ended up biking up and down the beach on a beautiful paved walk and biking road. What a great value and easy way to tour and learn about Malaga.”
Day trip from Costa del Sol to Granada with timed Alhambra access plus options for guided, audio, or self-paced sightseeing.
“It is very good but we stayed in old town of Malaga so it is little far about 1.7km to the meeting point and the guide has never offered to drop off in the center of old town which ther guide does.”
Malaga to Ronda and Setenil, with stone-roof streets, Puente Nuevo gorge views, and the bullring museum. Long coach day for $59.
“Nice town to visit but a horrible tour agency. Julia travel had us driving around for 2.5 hours picking up people like a school bus before even starting the tour in FIVE languages and the same on the way back. A two hour driving distance to visit the town turned into a 4.5 hours with less time to enjoy the town. Julia travel should consider finding a meeting point and not do hotel pick-up in any of the Malaga tours. Very upsetting. Nothing like the Julia Travel in Barcelona!”
Skip the Alhambra line from Malaga with an English official guide. Alcazaba, Generalife, Charles V, optional Nasrid Palaces.
“Let me start by saying Cristina was a great tour guide. The Alhambra was underwhelming which is not her fault! The van ride was awful. The van had no suspension and every bump we hit you felt it. Also the AC vents had no vents on the them so the cold air stayed at the ceiling. The van was deathly warm and very uncomfortable. The meeting spot was also misleading and half our group ended up at a different location. All the extraneous stuff made this tour less enjoyable.”
Seville day trip from Malaga with a guided Cathedral and Giralda visit, plus Plaza de España, Santa Cruz, and scenic views.
“A long time on the bus - must have been 3 hours in either direction. The Santa Cruz District (the old Jewish Quarter) was lovely, with its narrow laneways and little plazas. The Cathedral is very impressive, and you can't miss the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Don't waste your free time by doing the river cruise - all of the buildings of note are set back from the river and are obscured by trees. The Royal Palace is still used by the current King, and would have been a much better use of our free time.”
Day trip from Malaga to Granada with guided Alhambra entry, Generalife Gardens, Charles V Palace, and flexible time in the city.
“We were scheduled to go the day of the Sahara sand storm and pouring rain. We were cautioned to not be outside during these conditions due to poor air quality. I tried to cancel but was told no! I can't subject myself to unhealthy conditions and the tour should have been canceled.”
Full-day guided trip from Malaga to Ronda and Setenil with walking tours, scenic viewpoints, free time, and English coordination.
“Fabulous trip. Pedro our guide was great passing on so much information and history about Setinel and Ronda both on the bus and during the walking tour of Ronda. He also showed a lot of enthusiasm with recommendations on what to see, where to eat etc and was generally a great guide. Was a great balance of guided tour and free time to do your own exploring in both stops.”
