Enjoyed our walking tour with Oscar who was an excellent guide and very informative . It was a little confusing with timings as we thought that you went from the walk straight in to the catamaran but there was a 2 hour gap which tended to make it a long day . The catamaran trip was not really worth the wait as we just went out of the port a little way along the coast and back , there was no one giving information and a bit boring .
Amazing!! Worth every penny

Enrique and Oscar were great. We were in Malaga during Easter week. They weaved thru the crowds by using side streets to get us to our destinations. Both were well versed in the city's sites and history.
