Best tours of Malaga

If there is something that Malaga has is that it is so vibrant that it can be toured in multiple ways. One of the ways that I like the most to make a good reconnaissance route through the city, is on foot.

On the other hand, you have other options like the segway or the tuk tuk, both very popular in the city, and also represent an interesting and fun activity to include among the things to see and do in Malaga, but they are not the only tours you can experience in the city, I tell you more.
