From the guide

The Do Eat Better Experience food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of Malaga. You will be guided by a Local Expert who's able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and any other relevant curiosities.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing spanish culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

Please, note that the tour is always run in English and Spanish; other languages upon request.
