About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- janjamay0 contributionsTerrific Treasure Hunt Tour!!!The sight-seeing treasure hunt was a great way to discover the attractions of Malaga - a beautiful place with a fascinating history. Tim was a lovely and kind meeter/greeter/instructor who also gave us tips on where to eat etc. I thought our kids (9 & 12 yo) might get bored or frustrated with the tour, but they loved it and got right into it. This is a really clever and fun tour idea! There was even a lovely gift at the end of the tour.Written 10 August 2024
- 984suhailn0 contributionsHighly Recommend to all!This was our favorite tour we've been on -- the organization was flawless, Tim was extremely friendly + helpful, and we saw things we never would have found on our own. We particularly liked the recommendations along the way for local foods + interesting information. Would highly recommend to any group looking to see more of Malaga, thanks all for a great time!Written 25 June 2024
- Daryl_Janet0 contributionsNovel and Fun ExplorationA really enjoyable and novel way of seeing the old town. Well organised, great clue pack and using the GPS compass made it feel like Race Across the World. Definitely recommend, will serk out similar in other cities. Special thanks to Kimberly from Daryl and JanetWritten 13 May 2024
- mikesN6019ZQ0 contributionsA fantastic way to see the sites of MalagaWhat a brilliant mornings entertainment. Tim was first class setting us up and explaining the treasure hunt rules. We set off just after 10.00am and my 13 year old was in charge of the GPS for the whole route. A brilliant way to see the sites and find your way around the historic centre of Malaga. My son absolutely loved it. We would highly recommend this for families and/or couples. Well done Tim and Matthias. Superb.Written 18 February 2024

- Adriana F0 contributionsMust do experience in Málaga!!This was a fantastic way to see Mâlaga. It was fun and adventurous! Tim was beyond fabulous in explaining our treasure hunting. This is a “must do”. We did it as a couple, but a whole family could do it. Don’t think twice. Amazing bang for your buck!Written 22 October 2023
- Dee2233220 contributionsMalaga Treasure hunt with lots to seeWhat a unique and fun experience. We saw so much of Malaga while enjoying a treasure hunt. Using a provide GPS we went to about 9 different stations where we had to solve clues. They were so clever and easy (if you read the clue correctly). Each stop also had a description of what you were seeing along the walk and some history. If you watch the Amazing Race, enjoy puzzles or just want something different this is it - the most innovative tour we did in Europe and we loved it. WARNING: don't forget to look around at all the architecture, history, etc. as you are walking to the next clue.Written 27 September 2023
- H1213VWsusiel0 contributionsLoved this walking tour!What a wonderful way to experience Malaga! This fund adventure walking tour took us to places we would never have found. From the narrow side alleys to the garden wall. I highly recommend to a one interested in getting off the typical sightseeing route. Very fun!Written 18 September 2023
- 178brigitte0 contributionsUnforgettable Bachelor Party Adventure in Malaga!We recently organized a Bachelor Party in Malaga for our close friend, and the highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the thrilling treasure hunt experience! Set against the charming backdrop of Malaga's streets, this adventure was a perfect blend of excitement, teamwork, and exploration. From the very beginning, the communication with the organizers was seamless. They tailored the experience to our group's preferences and ensured that every detail was well taken care of. Our guide, a charismatic and knowledgeable individual named Alex, welcomed us with enthusiasm and explained the rules of the treasure hunt. The treasure hunt kicked off with a creative and engaging clue that led us through the heart of Malaga's old town. Each clue we solved not only brought us closer to the ultimate treasure but also revealed fascinating historical facts about the city. It was a wonderful mix of mental challenges and physical exploration. As we ventured through the narrow alleys and vibrant squares, we got a chance to truly soak in the local culture. From picturesque hidden corners to bustling marketplaces, the treasure hunt led us to places we would have never discovered on our own. What truly set this experience apart was the camaraderie it fostered within our group. The teamwork required to decipher clues, the friendly competition to be the first to find each hidden gem, and the shared moments of triumph created unforgettable memories that we'll cherish forever. And when we finally found the treasure, the feeling of accomplishment was beyond words! The icing on the cake was the treasure itself - not just a physical reward but the memories we made along the way. The organizers had arranged for a photo session capturing our joyous moments during the hunt, ensuring that we'd always have a tangible keepsake from this epic adventure. As the sun began to set over the Mediterranean, we gathered for a celebratory toast, reminiscing about the clues, challenges, and the laughter that echoed through the streets of Malaga that day. It was the perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable Bachelor Party weekend. If you're looking for an innovative and unforgettable experience for your Bachelor Party in Malaga, this treasure hunt is an absolute must! It's a unique way to bond, explore, and create memories that will be cherished by everyone lucky enough to participate. Huge thanks to Alex and the team for making this Bachelor Party truly exceptional. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with you!Written 17 August 2023
- annabJ1443SH0 contributionsBest Malaga Experience!The treasure hunt through Malaga is an unforgettable experience and a must-do for every visitor to Malaga. The tour takes you not only to well-known places in Malaga, but also to more secret corners. Fun is in the first place and along the way you learn interesting and curious things about this great city. Matthias and his colleagues are absolutely passionate about what they do. I have already done the tour twice (once with my family and once with my students). Any time again! An absolute recommendation from my side! Thank you Matthias!Written 16 July 2023
- Rhonda C0 contributionsFun & DifferentThe treasure hunt was such a fun concept to explore and walk around Málaga. Matias, the operator/owner is very friendly and engaging. He gives you everything you’ll need to solve the mystery at the meeting point—including his phone number in case you get lost (you won’t!). My husband read the compass while I read each of the clues. If you’re looking to do something different and challenging while having fun touring a town, check out Matias and Treasure Hunt Málaga.Written 22 May 2023
- marcelacL7684BH0 contributionsTreasure Hunt: Getting to Know the City. A Fun Experience for a big School GroupI have been planning school trips to Spain for a few years now. This year, I travelled with 27 students to Malaga and continued the tradition of introducing my students to the city with a fun Treasure Hunt activity. Our students had a fantastic time while getting to know the city’s highlights thanks to this perfectly organized activity by Malaga City Adventures. This was the third time we worked with Matthias and Elizabeth, and as usual, they delivered fun and culture to an eager group of teenagers. Organisation and communication were swift. Highly recommended! 😊Written 8 May 2023

We did this tour with our 4 year old daughter (who wants to be a detective!) and she loved it. It is very well organised and planned.
Matthias was a great host and explained the instructions very well.
There was a quite a lot of walking so make sure you plan some ice cream stops to refuel! We did this on our first morning in Malaga and is a great way to orientate yourself around the City.

If you are wondering/pondering/considering booking this tour my advice is go ahead and book -- you won't be disappointed.
I am a recent resident of Malaga (originally from the UK) and now I live here I have many people visiting me and Malaga City Adventures is the one experience that I have come to realise is one that everyone will enjoy, from 8 to 80!
Over New Year I had some adults and one 8 year old to entertain, we joined the Treasure Hunt (another must-do!) but for now my review is about the Crime Investigation Tour and for this I was the sole adult with my 13 year old niece. We both had an amazing time. The clues are pitched just right (although I probably wouldn't have made it through without her - she is super smart!). We discussed it together afterwords and agreed that the time, love, care and attention taken made it a joyful experience -- that's not something you come across too often.
It is a really fun way to explore the city and I learned much along the way despite being resident here for nearly a year.
Thank you guys -- I'll be back :)

Myself and my partner did the Malaga crime investigation tour today. We decided to do it because we also did the Malaga city advanture treasure hunt, run by the same lovely people. It was once again engaging and exceeded expectations. A great experience. Fun for all ages!! Thank you Ellie and Mattias!

This was a great activity, which took us around two and a half hours to complete (with a short pit stop). We got to see lots of the city and the interactive nature of the tour kept us all entertained! It was definitely a fun and different way to see the sights!

What a fun way to see Malaga. Even though we are residents of Spain, it was good to be able to let the family go around parts of Malaga with no fuss, and have a bit of fun along the way. Malaga is a wonderful city, and not short of restaurants either.
I will certainly promote this Tour to other visiting family and friends.
Communication with the Company was first class 😁
I would highly recommend this to anyone young or old. No pressure to get it done too quickly as we stopped along the way for coffee and a " discussion ".
Don't want to give anything away -BOOK IT and do it.
