“Got an interesting private tour through Málaga with some exiting (not too difficult) tasks at the different spots through the city center. About 5km walk. Our guide Tim waited at the meeting point, explained the rules and the GPS and guided us to the first spot. Then we went on our own. Nice possibility to explore Málaga on your own.”
