Embrace your inner foodie! Indulge in an eclectic array of traditional Andalusian tapas and wine on this insider’s food adventure in Marbella’s Old quarter.
But to avoid the tourist traps (and there are plenty of them!), you’ll need to find a local who can take you to the foodie spots that locals themselves are shouting about. That’s where we come in!
On this 3-hour walking food tour, our local expert takes you to some of the city’s best and most traditional tapas bars and taverns.
From the oldest tapas bar in Marbella serving an award-winning Ensaladilla Rusa to the freshest catch of the day to a classic “taverna gaditana” so charming, you won’t be able to resist coming back.
You’ll stop at traditional and unexpected places that you won’t find in the guidebooks. Plus you’ll learn about the history and culture of Marbella as you walk.
We recommend you arrive hungry and curious. And don’t forget to make some space in your phone for all the charming photos you’ll want to take!

5.00The tapas tour with our guide, Michel, was awesome! Every restaurant we stopped at had delicious tapas paired with cava/wine. Along the walking route, Michel told us about some of the history of Marbella and the surrounding region, and also shared some fun urban legends. Would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Wonderful tour with lots of food! We enjoyed the guide and the information provided as we walked around the town. We stopped at three restaurants and had several different dishes to try at all of them. There was a glass of Cava at the first stop, white wine at the second, and red wine at the third. We were originally scheduled a different night and they contacted us that we were the only ones on that tour and offered to do the tour or allow us to change nights if we preferred to be with a group. We chose to change nights and were happy to be given that opportunity. I asked if I could get the suggested restaurant guide that was mentioned we would get at the end of the tour early, as moving our tour meant it was on our last night in Marbella, but they did not respond to that request. Otherwise all was wonderful and we enjoyed the guide, the food, and our fellow travelers!

5.00Super fun. There were only two of us and we were offered the tour, by chance, entirely in our own language. Learned everything, discussed, explained and seen a lot. Visited small bars that you normally are would walk past. The food is different tapas than you would expect and or would have been served in the Netherlands, with the necessary explanations. That's what makes it interesting. Friendly tour operator, neat English. I'd say do it! And enjoy your meal.
Tasty Tour

5.00The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared his experiences and the history of Marbella. The restaurants were all excellent and the food and drink he chose were excellent. We can't wait to go back to the restaurants and try some more of their tapas.

1.00A real scam!! Comi: Two squid, three cokes, two croquettes and three cheese cubs. And all that for the modest price of 120 euros. The guide, a manuel, a top-notch JETA
