Ideale Tour mit interessanten Infos von unserer sympathischen Tourführerin
Be prepared to walk a lot, but at your own pace.
We traveled with our daughter to Marbella and booked the Operations Marbella in Style for a day. We walked, with our lovely guide Lana, through the old streets of the historic center of Marbella. We had some tapas and wine, included in the tour, and headed to the pierre where we took a ferry to Puerto Banús. Beautiful place, with lots of shopping. Then we returned back to Marbella. Really a lovely way to enjoy Marbella when you have only a day to visit the place. It is a one on one experience with your own concierge- tour guide.
A great experience
We had a great time seeing the old town, learning the history, tasting wine, cheese and olive oil. Our host was very friendly and informative! She was a great new friend who offered to help us out after our tour as well. Overall it was a great experience!
nice and enlightening tour of Marbella old town
Really nice and enlightening tour of the old town of Marbella. our guide, Lana, was very knowledgeable in history and very social company. Our favorite part was stopping at Urban Gourmet and trying their delicious cheeses and meats, not to mention the local wines. Our last stop at the authentic taverna offers delicious samples of traditional tapas dishes and a very entertaining gentleman who served us food, drink and humor.
In this tour you will enjoy a private tasting of 12 premium olive oils from Andalusia. You will learn how this “Golden liquid” is produced, the different varieties, how to buy it and how to use it!
