Malaga Tours and Holidays

Spanish and Roman history was very enlightening, also the Muslim and Christian history was really great to learn. I would do this tour again with the amazing tour guide Carmen to host again. The trip was worth the money.

It was a wonderful experience and, as described, a full-on week of travel and sightseeing, but broken up with a two night stay in Craig’s village with two walks through the beautiful countryside. That stay in the small village was really special as was Craig’s guiding. His knowledge of the area and Andalucia’s turbulent history specific to Granada, Cordoba and Seville was exceptional. His energy, insight and humour really helped gell our group - a great holiday.

What a fantastic week, despite the unusually high temperatures. I have learned so much thanks to Craig's amazing knowledge of the area. History, natural history, geology, local cuisine, and much more. The itinerary was full-on, but still left plenty of time to wander and explore for ourselves. The break in the countryside was very welcome and a perfect contrast with the cities. The hotels were all comfortable and clean, and very convenient for visiting the main sites of the old city centres. Make sure you buy tickets for the optional visits as they get very busy, especially the Alcazar and Cathedral in Seville. The cave visit midweek is also highly recommended, especially if it's baking outside.

It was all memorable. The tours, the history, the food amazing! Lola Alvarez was so informative and accommodating to the needs of her travelers. She made the trip!

Andalusia has long been on my list of places to go, and I was not disappointed. Our guide Craig was the best, so knowledgeable, engaging, he had a keen insight to the history, respect of the culture, and told fun stories. While I loved all of the cites, and did want to miss anything, it was great to have 2 days at Craig's home in rural Andalusia, with two great hikes to see the lovely countryside. We were lucky we had a small and very accommodating group that were eager to soak in the culture!

My first memorable moment on this trip was the "home hosted" luncheon. Our hosts were friendly, warm & welcoming. We met some of their children & had a great time laughing & navigating our language differences. Our meal was delicious & ended with an amazing homemade flan dessert. My second memorable moment was our "flamenco" dance lesson. We had so much fun!!
