What a treat ! I organised this gastronomic tour for our group of eight, as part of a business trip, without imagining for a single moment the indelible mark the evening would leave on us.
To say that the charming Natalia totally won us over would be an understatement! Beyond her friendly welcome, and her simple, clear and relevant lessons on the history and culture of the city (the impact of politics and religion on gastronomy and architecture being just one example), she introduced us to the local culture, allowing us to sample a variety of wines as we drank in her words.
I thought I knew a little about Marbella, as I had visited several times, but Natalia surprised us continuously, allowing us to experience places we would never have discovered independently. Each bite of those tapas and each sip of those delicious wines was a marvel ! More than highly recommended !
FYI, our tour was the evening Wine & Tapas Testing Tour but I believe a "lunch" formula is also on offer, introducing the local market.. I'm going to have to return... with...
Read moreMy family and I visited Marbella recently and we all agreed that the Old Town Tapas Tour was the highlight of our trip! Manuel was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging as he told us all about the history of the town of Marbella and interesting facts about the amazing foods/drinks we were tasting. Everything we ate was superb and we loved learning all of the traditions behind the dishes. The wine pairings were spot on with each meal as well, especially our new favorite Verdejo wine. We loved the fact that he took us to small family-owned neighborhood joints that felt cozy and welcoming instead of touristy. The whole evening felt like we were truly immersed in the culture of the town. Instead of feeling like you were on a scheduled tour, we truly felt like we were just having an amazing meal with an old friend. Thank you Manu for such an incredible experience that we will never forget! If you are thinking about booking this food tour, do it now, you definitely...
Read moreWe took the “Tapas” tour on March 15, 2025 and we had an amazing experience. Michel, our tour guide, was so nice and so knowledgeable about the Spanish history, Marbella and its surrounding small towns.
The food and wine, which were very diverse and plentiful, were delicious. Taste Marbella contacted us in advance to enquire about any dietary requirements we may have. I did and Michel ensured that I could eat with a peace of mind. As an aside, I discovered that I like goat cheese! It tastes so much better than the one we can get in Canada.
This is truly a 5* experience in all aspects. I am so pleased with this tour and the company that runs it. Well done...
