“My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour through historic Marbella with Javier. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and shared historical information as we walked through the maze of streets and shops. The olive oil tasting at the end was a treat as well. The shopkeeper there explained the nuances of so many different oils and provided bread so we could sample each. Highly recommend!”
