The local food that she introduced us to was fantastic and we found places we would probably not have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marbella. Last year we did the Frigiliana tour which is also great if you have a full day to spare.Written 25 April 2024

- 989belb0 contributionsA fantastic activity to do with visitorsI recently went on this tour with my husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law. We live here on the coast but my husband's brother was visiting from Australia so we wanted to do something special. It was just a fantastic experience from start to finish. We wandered around Tarifa and Baelo Claudia and learned a lot from our lovely guide Gina! I've been to Tarifa many times but it was my first time taking a tour and really getting to know the history of the area. It was a very interesting and enjoyable day. Especially enjoyable was all the delicious food - we were definitely well-fed!Written 26 October 2023
- I521XFphilb0 contributionsEating Tarifa!I had a fantastic time in Tarifa. We had family over to visit so thought this would be a fun idea. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good, the history interesting and the day was a ton of fun.Written 26 October 2023
- memebertie0 contributionsFab Food/History tour - Highly recommendI was recently on the San Pedro Food Tour and really enjoyed it. Our guide was knowledgeable about the local history and also great fun. The highlight, of course, was the food! We enjoyed a range of local specialities from tapas to seafood. I left the tour happy and with a full stomach. This food tour is an absolute must-do, a truly memorable evening!Written 22 September 2023

Our day in Frigiliana and Nerja was a blast, and above all what made it great was our guide, Gina. She introduced us to the food and history of this part of the Costa del Sol.
Frigiliana is a charming little town and the kayaking adventure in Nerja was awesome. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Just back from a lovely time in Marbella, the highlight of the trip was definitely our day trip to Nerja. It was a full day but so relaxed. We ate well, laughed well and just had a fabulous time. Gina as a host was excellent, very knowledgeable and made the tour great fun.

We loved everything about this tour!
Guide Gina has put together a lovely day on the Costa del Sol. Frigiliana is a breathtaking town filled with charming cobblestone lanes dotted with uniquely decorated homes and shops. We lunched al fresco, enjoying a delicious variety of local specialties and marveling at the stunning panoramic views. Then we headed to Nerja to tour the massive neolithic cave complex and take in the gorgeous views along the Balcony of Europe.
