    Outstanding
    Outstanding. I would certainly recommend doing this tour. He has lived here all his life and knows everything. We saw so many things, all the highlights. Definitely book this one and we do a lot of tours.

    A History of Art
    This was a good place to get out of the sun. We had a good laugh at some of his stuff. My grand daughter suggested that he didn't know what women looked like! The building was interesting and most of the guides were smiling and helpful. It was quite educational for our younger people. I prefer Banksy

    Neat
    Depending upon how much you like art museums this will be either very impressive to your or quite neat. I fall in the latter group but could appreciate it nonetheless

    Money well spent!
    6 euros to visit - money well spent! Was a bit annoyed by the tour guide that was visiting at the same time and was very loud.

    Impressive historic tour… very special. Top notch.
    Juan gave an excellent Civil War walking tour. I read the book “My House in Malaga” by Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell a couple of weeks before visiting Malaga, and this book along with others piqued my interest in the Spanish Civil War and more specifically the people of Malaga’s experience. There is much to see an appreciate as a tourist in Malaga, but by investing a little time in the not so distant history of the Civil War, I feel that as a visitor my appreciation for people of Malaga is much richer. We walked through the very streets and looked at the very homes that were referenced in the book, and aside from the natural beauty which was abundant, the historical pairing was superb. This is a very special tour that I am so grateful not to have missed. Please remember to take a bottle of water as there is some climbing. Thank you Juan. I look forward to the tour part two from the other side of town next time I visit.

    Powerful and beautiful tour of a tragic time in Spain
    I thought I knew a lot about the Spanish Civil War, having taken a class on its influence in art, and knowing people in the US and Mexico whose families suffered. But walking the hills of Malaga with Juan Diego as he conveyed the words of those who lived it and shared photos of the times - in our not so distant past - took me to a new level of understanding and compassion. His knowledge of the topic is deep and carefully researched but this tour is no lecture. To me it was more like walking the three acts of a tragic opera in which you know the disastrous ending but are going to have so live each scene so that the story sinks into you and its ending becomes more deeply felt. I’m grateful I had this experience with Juan Diego on my second day in Andalucía, because in the weeks since I have found few people willing to say anything except that it’s still too raw. I believe they would be grateful that Juan Diego is relaying the story of the story of their suffering in such a profound and compassionate way. If he gives a sequel, I’ll be the first to sign up. BTW, I signed up for the tour in Spanish but Juan Diego was happy to jump into English whenever my Spanish faltered.

    Brilliant tour with an excellent guide
    We really enjoyed the tour of Picasso’s birthplace and the Picasso Museum with Juan Diego. His knowledge and enthusiasm for Picasso made the whole experience really enjoyable. I’ve taken tours in the past in different countries, and I think the tour we had with Juan Diego was the best I have ever had. On the day we visited the Picasso Museum, the que for entry stretched right down the road in the pouring rain, so I would definitely recommend this tour because you skip the line for entry with the tour guide. I can highly recommend this tour, because Juan Diego speaks with such enthusiasm, interest and knowledge, and he really brings the art of Picasso to life.

    Small and nice
    If in Málaga do not miss this small but fantastic museum. Lots of great art but of course limited by the fact that this is a one-artist-only museum. Only downside is the audio-units people is carrying. Very loud annoying noise to the rest of us; like a bee swarm in your ears.

    Excellent!
    It was an absolute pleasure to walk around Malaga with Juan. He was very knowledgeable and attentive and his background in architecture was invaluable when visiting i.e. Alcazaba. Highly recommend his tour ❤

    Good walking tour of Malaga
    We had an excellent day with Juan. He’s very knowledgeable about his city. We loved his explanations specially regarding Malaga’s architecture and the city’s diver flora. We took the three hour tour which was perfect. We would never have noticed well nor understood the city’s many details without his guidance. His English is very good as well.

    A very unusual walk through history!
    Juan Diego has put in a lot of work in uncovering a completely unexpected view of the Spanish civil war in Malaga. It is through the eyes of foreigners that you see the impact of the war and not through the Spanish themselves! It was interesting and informative and only left me wanting to find out more about the Spanish experience itself.... next time, I hope!

    Finally a guidet tour in Málaga which gave us a deeper insight into spanish history the last 200 years with a special focus on the decade of 1930 and how the spanish civil war startet and developed in this área. Our guide, Diego, focused on the working class, their socio-economic situation, the obvios enormous gap between the very rich industrialists and the rest of the population by showing us the housing for the poor and the rich. Señor Diego is passionate about the history of expats in Málaga and their faith during the civil war. We had a very interesting day listening to what he told us and looking at what he showed us.

After this wonderful tour with Juan we feel that we know so much more about Picasso and how the city of Malaga influenced his work.
