Alcazaba Express: Málaga's Moorish Fortress & Royal Palace
Surely the most representative monument of the city. To penetrate this Arab palace, is to penetrate the heart of Malaga, it is impossible to understand Malaga's history without visiting it. Witness the invincible power of the Alcazaba! Extensive views of the sea, beautiful details of Muslim architecture, relaxing fountains and gardens…. There are many things to discover that will leave you breathless. Visit the Alcazaba of Malaga while our guides explain how the Muslims lived, how the palace worked and some of the hidden legends of this ancient place. In addition, the visit can be made in other languages (German, French and Italian), checking the availability of the day in advance.

Cristina was excellent. Knowledgeable, clear, amusing, patient. It was an interesting tour and good value for money. Recommend doing it rather than walking through on your own.

Cristina was incredibly clear, knowledgeable and funny. Thanks for a brilliant tour. We went at 5pm which was beautiful light.

This tour was advertised as guided with an English speaking guide and individual headphones. Neither of those things proved to be true. The guide was charming but his accent was so thick, it was difficult to understand him and he spoke VERY rapidly. Also, NO headphones for easy listening.

Salvador was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, articulate and clear with a sense of humor and had perfect pacing.

Ima gave us a well-paced and informative tour with a good sense of humour. She made the 90 minutes most pleasurable. To be recommended.

Great tour!!! Our guide had so much information and he got us all the way to the top, allowing for several "rest stops", which were nice

We very much enjoyed this tour. Salvador was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. Alcazaba is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Málaga, and I would highly recommend this tour to get the most out of it.

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, pointing out particular features. The use of a personal microphone with all participants having an ear piece made the commentary clear. He ensured everyone remained with the group. I would definitely recommend.
