The Short Version

Tour and ticket cards on this site link to GetYourGuide, the platform the guided walks, museum entries and day trips on this site are sold on. Hotel and neighbourhood links, the "see stays in this area" buttons on where to stay in Málaga and the neighbourhood guides, go through Stay22, which forwards you to Booking.com and pays us a commission on the same terms. If you book after clicking one, the platform pays us a commission out of its own margin. Your price is identical either way, and clicking costs you nothing.

We are not a tour operator or a travel agency. We sell nothing, take no payments and act as nobody's agent.

Who Does What

We compare listings and link out. The platform takes your payment, issues the voucher and handles customer service. The company named on the listing runs the actual tour, walk or transfer. If a departure is cancelled or a guide fails to show, that is resolved between you, the platform and the operator under their policies. We have no standing in that conversation and cannot refund or reschedule anything.

Museum and monument admission is different. Where the official ticket office is the right place to buy, the Ayuntamiento's shop for the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro combined ticket, museopicassomalaga.org for the Picasso museum, caminitodelrey.info for the gorge walk, and malagacatedral.com for the cathedral roof, the page links to it directly, with no tracking and no commission to us. The free Sunday and free-for-EU windows earn nothing at all, and the pages print them anyway.

What the Commission Does Not Buy

Placement, ratings, wording. Nobody has paid to appear on this site or to be described in a particular way, and no operator sees a page before it is published.

The test is on the pages themselves: several of the most-read pages here send you to an official ticket office that pays us nothing, and recommend skipping a guided option that would. Where a tour is worth its markup we say why in the same terms: time saved, a room you cannot otherwise enter, a queue you cannot otherwise skip, a Caminito slot on a day the official shop shows sold out.

Ratings and Reviews

Every rating and review count shown on a tour card is the platform's own published number, read on the date printed with it. We calculate no rating of our own, this site carries no aggregate rating of its own in its markup, since it has no reviews, and we write no testimonials. Quoted reviews are short excerpts kept as published, with the source.

Prices

Tour prices here are the lowest adult rate on the listing at the last check, and ticket prices are the official rate on the institution's own page at the date shown. Both move: platforms reprice constantly and Spanish museums and monuments adjust admission by season and by year. The figure that counts is the one on the checkout page before you pay. When it disagrees with ours, the checkout is right and we would like to know.

The nightly bands on the neighbourhood and where-to-stay pages are a separate thing again: they are the middle half of the rates a hotel search returned for one midweek night, read on the date printed beside them, and are there to compare areas with each other. They are not a quote, and they move with the date you pick.
