A bonus is that this particular tour included visits to La Guardia and Bodegas El Pimpi bar that are difficult to get into. He also gave us some useful recommendations of local restaurants that we followed up. Jose spoke perfect English and the whole experience of the food tour helped us to get the most out of our visit to Malaga.”

13.Foodie Atarazanas Market Tour in Malaga – by OhMyGoodGuide

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $59.26

Small group Atarazanas Market tour in Malaga with sweet wine, vermouth, Iberian ham, and olive oil. 2 hours, English, $59.

“This tour was not at all what we expected and did not live up to the impression given on the Viator page. While our guide was a nice young man and did know some information (thus a 2 star instead of a 1), we really just walked through the market and he stopped at the vendors that had free samples. We did not sample wine at the oldest winery as advertised, but did go to a little place for a very small sample of ham & sweet wine. For $50+ per person, I was expecting a more polished tour with better food and wine samples.”
