About this tour
This is a short planning call for anyone trying to balance beach time with the old town in a single day, checking the real distances involved rather than guessing from a map. We talk through transport options and how much time each side genuinely needs. I share a simple map on screen as we go.
We open with a quick chat about your priorities for the day, then work through timing and transport together, checking what fits realistically. I answer questions throughout and send a short note with the plan once we finish.
This suits travellers with limited time who want a workable single-day plan rather than an overambitious one. It works well booked the evening before or the same morning.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
Itinerary
-
Hello, and what you want to know 5 min
The guide calls you and asks what you are after: planning Malaga, recommendations, or just questions.
-
Checking real distances 17 min
We look at the actual distance between the beaches east of the centre and the old town, which sits further apart than most maps first suggest, and build a realistic plan around that.
-
Your questions 5 min
Ask anything that is still on your mind, there is no fixed script.
-
A written note after the call 3 min
You get a short follow-up message with everything mentioned, so you do not have to remember it all.
Good to know
- A stable phone or internet connection, whichever the guide uses to reach you.
- No app to install. You answer when the guide calls, or join a video call if you would rather.
- Times are shown in Madrid time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The call is not recorded. Keep your own note of anything you want to remember, or wait for the follow-up message.
- Have your questions ready, though there is time to think of more as you go.
Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Malaga: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
- This is a planning call on Zoom with a simple map on screen, rather than a live walk.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
