Meet Your Local Guide in Málaga – Private Tours with a Personal Touch
As a passionate Andalusian local tour guide based in Málaga, I’ve spent nearly all my adult life in Spain, falling in love with its culture, landscapes, and people from a very young age. My connection to Spain began in childhood, spending summers with my family in Cataluña. By the age of five, I already knew this country would play a central role in my life. As a teenager, Spain meant summer breezes, the Mediterranean Sea, beach bars, and friendships with people from all over the world—an experience enriched by my ability to speak several languages fluently. After graduation, I chose to study Spanish in Málaga, where I met a young entrepreneur from Madrid living in Almería— still my husband. Professionally, I’ve explored many fields: from fashion and business administration to gastronomy, audiovisual production, and eventually, tourism. I spent over 15 years guiding tours while also working as a location scout and props assistant in film and TV in Almería. But Málaga has always held a special place in my heart. So, 15 years ago, I returned and fully dedicated myself to offering private guided tours in Málaga and customized travel experiences for private travelers. After countless multilingual bus tours and group roundtrips across Andalusia, I knew I wanted to focus on something more meaningful: authentic, personalized private tours that reflect how I myself love to travel—away from the crowds, discovering the hidden gems, and diving into real local culture. That’s how I guide today: with heart, insight, and a personal touch.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maike helped me to organize, and then guided 5 days of a 7-day adult family tour of 13 of Andalusia. She was particularly helpful in guiding my itinerary planning process, and her knowledge about Spain, its monuments, cities, culture—astounding! Over the last 6 months, we were communicating almost daily, and she always responded promptly. Most essential, she was a phenomenal on-site guide; it made all the difference. As the organizer, I was completely relaxed in her care. I highly recommend Maike!
