Frequently Asked Questions
Some visitors have these doubts before choosing their Free Tour of Málaga
Is the Free Tour price really up to me?
Indeed.
A Free Tour, also called “Free Walking Tour” or “Free Urban Tour”, has two main characteristics:
-
Booking is free.
-
Taking the guided tour does not have a fixed price, but you are the person in charge of putting a value on the work that your guide has performed.
When the visit ends, it is the ideal time to do it, since this guarantees the guide's motivation throughout the tour and our continuous improvement to always offer you an excellent experience.
If this is your first tour with these characteristics, we inform you that visitors usually pay an average of €10 per person.
How long does a Free Tour last?
It depends on the itinerary.
The tour of the Historic Centre, the visit to the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre and the Tour inside the Cathedral, last approximately one hour and a half each, enough time to receive the most important information about Málaga and its monuments in a pleasant and easy to remember way.
However, you will need a couple of hours to delve into the mysteries and legends that are hidden at night in the city and complete the entire Mysterious Málaga nighttime route.
Is there access to the interior of the monuments and museums?
>> On the route through the historic centre of Málaga, No.
In the 90 minutes that this Free Tour usually lasts, it is impossible to visit the interior of the monuments and museums that you pass through, however, from the outside your guide will explain its main characteristics and curiosities with the support of interactive material.
>> On the night route through the mysterious Málaga, No.
On this tour you do not need to enter the monuments or the museums to discover the mysteries of the dark Málaga, since your guide will focus on telling you the legends and the real paranormal events that happened in its surroundings.
If you are interested in knowing in depth, the Cathedral of Málaga or the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba, we recommend that you take a specific Free Tour, you will also save yourself from waiting in line, because by booking with us you have guaranteed access through a preferential area.
>> FREE TOUR ALCAZABA & ROMAN THEATRE

Do I have the possibility to book more than one Free Tour?
Yeah.

We recommend you book as soon as possible, because, in order to offer you a quality visit, the number of places on our tours is limited.
If I have reduced mobility, can I take a Free Tour?
All our routes pass through pedestrian and flat areas, so you can enjoy them without difficulty, whatever your age, both on foot and if you use a wheelchair, except the Free Tour of the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre:
This route is not suitable for people with reduced mobility because part of the visit is carried out on staggered walls with a moderate difference in level and accesses that are not adapted.
In addition, for reasons of historical heritage conservation, you cannot access the Arab complex with a baby carriage.
If you find yourself in this situation, we advise you to use a baby carrier for the visit.
Can my dog come with me during a Free Tour?
It depends on the tour you choose.
Due to the conservation regulations of the Cathedral, the Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre, your dog will only be able to enter these monuments if he has the assistance animal accreditation and is duly identified.
If your best friend accompanies you during the holidays and also wants to know Málaga, but he does not have the accreditation required by the monuments, we recommend you book:
>> FREE TOUR MÁLAGA HISTORIC CENTRE
>> FREE TOUR MYSTERIOUS MÁLAGA
In any of these two Free Tours, your furry friend will be well received as long as he is polite and friendly with the other participants and has his vaccination record in order.
