Meeting Point
Your hotel or accommodation
- I’ll pick you up directly from your hotel or accommodation within the designated Costa del Sol pickup area. Your exact pickup time will be confirmed before the tour depending on your location. Other pickup locations can be arranged upon request.
Frigiliana
We’ll begin in beautiful Frigiliana, one of Andalucía’s most picturesque white villages. We’ll enjoy a relaxed walk through its whitewashed streets, flower-filled corners, small squares and viewpoints while discovering the character of the old town. We’ll also stop for a coffee, included in your tour, with plenty of time for photographs and to explore without rushing.
Nerja & El Balcon de Europa
From Frigiliana we’ll continue to the Mediterranean town of Nerja. I’ll take you on an introductory walk through the centre and to the famous Balcón de Europa, with spectacular views across the coastline and Mediterranean Sea. Afterwards, you’ll have around 1½ hours of free time to explore Nerja independently, browse the shops, visit the beach, enjoy a drink or simply relax by the sea.
Optional Lunch
If you’d like to experience a relaxed Spanish lunch, we can stop at one of the local restaurants I recommend. Depending on your preferences, we can choose traditional Andalusian dishes, fresh fish, tapas or something lighter. Lunch is optional and paid directly by guests.
Optional Nerja Caves
Guests who would like to add one of the area's most famous attractions can visit the spectacular Nerja Caves, an enormous underground system filled with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The cave visit is optional, allowing you to choose between more time exploring the coast or adding this fascinating natural attraction to your day.
Maro & the Mediterranean Coast
Our final stop takes us to the small coastal village of Maro, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, farmland and the Mediterranean. We’ll enjoy the scenery and I’ll show you one of the easiest local beaches to access, giving you a glimpse of the quieter coastline beyond Nerja before we begin our journey back.
Return to Hotel/Accomodation
After Maro, sit back and relax as we make our way back along the Costa del Sol to your hotel or accommodation.

About Tour Guide Daniel S.
Hello, I’m Daniel, a British private guide, local host and co-founder of Unseen Adventours, based in Málaga, Andalucía.
For me, a private tour should never feel like a rushed checklist of famous places. It should feel relaxed, personal and created around you. Before we meet, I take the time to understand your interests, preferred pace and what would make your visit genuinely memorable. Whether you love history, traditional villages, dramatic landscapes, local food, walking or simply discovering places away from the crowds, I can shape the experience around you.
I offer personalized experiences across Málaga, Marbella, Ojén, Mijas, Ronda, the white villages and wider Andalucía. You can book me for a few hours, a complete day or ask me to help plan a longer journey. I am especially experienced in looking after families, couples, small groups and multigenerational travelers who value flexibility and personal attention.
Having led private journeys through both Scotland and southern Spain, I understand that excellent guiding involves much more than sharing information. It means adjusting when plans change, finding the right pace for every guest, helping with practical details and being someone you can depend on throughout the experience.
My style is friendly, informal and attentive. There are no rehearsed speeches or rigid schedules. We can stop when something catches your attention, spend longer somewhere you love and change the plan when a better opportunity appears.
I speak English and work in both English- and Spanish-speaking environments. Where specialist accredited guides, licensed transportation or advance reservations are required, I can help coordinate the appropriate trusted professionals.
Tell me what you enjoy, who you are travelling with and how you want your time in Andalucía to feel. Together, we can create a private experience that is truly yours—not simply another standard tour.
$725/ per group
