Only ‘down side’ is that the group was mainly >60 year olds. As a young person it was discouraging to hear them criticising and whining about everything. Nevertheless a wonderful experience!”

As we were quiet jet lagged we were very happy to follow someone elses lead and our guide was both helpful and knowledgeable. Malaga has turned out to be much more than we expected and it was great doing this tour early in our stay to orientate ourselves to the city. The ride itself was very pleasant on flat terrain through some very scenic areas of Malaga. Thanks to the team - great job.”
