At €115 per person it replaces both the walking tour and dinner, which is the honest way to price it. **Best all-in:** A licensed guide covers the Alcazaba, Roman Theatre and cathedral area, then a wine tasting and tapas across two bars: 4.94 from 209 reviews. Trade-off: €115 per person, the premium format here. (last checked September 1, 2026) In our comparison: #2 of 5 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Discover the must-see places of Málaga with a licensed local guide on this Ultimate Málaga Food & Culture Experience.
