As its name suggests, Malaga Walks specializes in touring Malaga by foot. The company limits groups to six people, although larger groups can make special reservations. Featured sites include the Roman Theatre and Cathedral, the Moorish Castle, and the Picasso Museum as well as Picasso's birthplace.
Standard tours cover Malaga by day or by night; a third option, the Tapas Walk, includes a stop at a tapas bar. Guests can add themed activities such as shopping trips or tours focusing on religious sites. One tour promises to help guests improve their Spanish-speaking skills.
Tours meet across from the vehicle entrance to the port, about two minutes from the cruise terminal. Guides also can pick up guests at their ships and return them there.

Founded, according to the company's website, by a married couple who turned their love of travel into a business, Spanish Fiestas organizes private tours of southern Spain. Its most popular tour from Malaga is a drive from the port to the Alhambra Palace in Granada, about 80 miles away.
A Spanish Fiestas representative meets clients at the ship at a prearranged time, and then the group heads to Granada. Guests can take a self-guided tour at the palace or hire a private guide there. The Spanish Fiestas representative accompanies guests to the palace's ticket office to make sure arrangements are correct.
