Taste of Marbella
Peter_C, Apr 2025
It was a great experience and a nice way to see and learn about old town Marbella. We had a very nice guide in Michel who was former chef that enjoyed explaining the history of the area. We had three stops with a glass of wine at each and as tasting of the food. It was well worth the cost in my opinion.

The best tapas and the best man to go with in Marbella ????
Elise M, Apr 2025
We had a fabulous, organically great evening. Our guide, Mitchell was the best. He is a lovely charming man who is passionately full of knowledge and takes pride in his work. He took us to beautiful intimate little Spanish tapas, all of which were excellent quality. He ate with us and we had a truly wonderful time. Mitchell took us to places off the Plaza de los naranjos and down little cobbled streets you wouldn’t know about if you went alone. It did not feel like a tour guide experience which I have had in the past, which has often times been rushed, taken to places where they try and sell you produce and provide low quality foods. This was exceptional and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Mitchell made it for us and is a credit to his craft. Thankyou!

5* Tapas Tour Experience not to be missed
bluecobble, Mar 2025
I did the “Tapas” tour with Taste Marbella on March 15. It exceeding my expectations in so many aspects. Michel, the tour guide, was very friendly and so knowledgeable about the Spanish history, Marbella and its surrounding small towns. I learned so much about the historic district. Although I had already spent 2.5 months in Marbella this winter, I discovered beautiful narrow streets and restaurants that I did not know existed. The food was exquisite in all three restaurants we visited, with a diversity of food and wine. And the wine was delicious too! I really appreciated the fact that Taste Marbella asked us in advance if we had any dietary requirements. I was delighted to find out that Michel took this into consideration when he ordered food I could eat with a peace of mind. Taste Marbella is a real gem! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the “tapas” tour. A true 5* experience, in all aspects. Well done!
