There are Malaga Free tours every day at 11:00 except very important dates as New Year´s eve (Dec 25th, January 1st and Jan 6th). Under five people the tour can be cancelled, something that only happens the 3% of the tours a year.

Free means that you can decide the price of the tour in the end of it. It is not only because is more fair that customers decide the price of the tour according to how much they liked it, it gives us motivation to work hard and do our best every day!

The meeting point (11am)  is always in Plaza de la Constitucion, you will find us with a blue umbrella. Few minutes on foot from Larios Street. You can find a map on the tour description.

There is always one of us waiting for the group in Plaza de la Constitución near the Fountain wearing our blue Umbrella “Free Tour Guide”. We recommend you to come 5 minutes earlier.

During our walking tours we are passing by all the most important monuments in the old town and we are providing very important and interesting information about them. Unfortunately we are not entering to any of them because of lack of time and because of extra ticket costs. However in the end of the tours you will have all the necessary information about what to see so you will be able to visit all you want on your own.

The tour lasts around  2 hours and 30 minutes.

Our Free tours are always in english and spanish. However we do private tours in some other languages. If you want your tour to be guided in other language please contact us,  info@exploramalaga.com, we will do our best.

FREE TOURS are intended for the enjoyment of individual travelers. The tours are operated on a tips-only basis, and there is no upfront cost to access the tour. Whilst it is not necessary for individual travelers to prebook their place, we strongly advise doing so. This fee covers the booking alone, and is not payment for the tour, which is provided by your tour guide. Individuals presenting themselves at the start point are not subject to any charge and places are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Prebooking gives you priority onto the tour over guests with no reservation in the rare case a tour is oversubscribed and saves you from waiting in line upon presenting yourself before the tour to a Meeting Point Manager. However, we do require that you do so no later than 10 minutes before the start of the tour, after which point we reserve the right to allocate your place to somebody else. This is in the interests of fairness to all those wishing to participate on the tour, as well as to ensure their punctual start.If at the start point only four people or less show up for the tour, something quite unusual, the tour may be cancelled and the customers are going to be invited to join any other tour. The guide anyways will give advices about where to go, what to do and will answer all the tourists´ questions. Groups (ten or more persons traveling together) Groups of ten or more persons wishing to take the FREE TOUR are subject to a per-person fee. Our FREE TOURs are intended for small groups and individuals. Groups of ten or more persons should therefore book for the appropriate number of people online when clicking Book Now on our FREE TOURs page, or contact us to schedule a private tour which is the only way to guarantee your group will travel together with a private guide. Please email us at info@exploramalaga.com

If you do not have access to a smart phone or printer, please contact our staff as soon as possible.
