    Mijas & Malaga Lights-beautiful Tui Experience here previously were excellent . Sadly the Tui Rep informed us she will try and tell us as much as she could as she was new She is not an official tourist guide so caution to be taken by the police . In Mijas the complimentary tapas of a slice of ham on dry bed and a drink was awful . The rep knew very little of the area re Christmas traditiions .Malaga we were given a map with directions only as rep was not officially registered as tourguide

    Guide was very knowledgeable and spoke several languages. Nerja is very pretty. There should a short excursion offered to see their Christmas lights as they looked impressive and their christmas market was good. Malaga lights show was great. You get there plenty of time before it starts at 6.30 then have an hour to look around. Only disappointment was the weather.

    Enjoyed the lights.Visit to Mijas was poor and a non event. We were hurried to the hotel providing a free drink but this was crowded and a rushed experience. Trip would have been better value if we had gone straight to Malaga. Then we would have had tine to visit some of Malaga's attractions eg cathedral, Christmas market,botanical gardens etc prior to the light show.Last year's guide met us close to the lights to go back to the coach.This did not happen this year and we did lose our way back.

    Fabulous coach this time with christmas music on the rep went above and beyond and took nothing for granted he was fun every bit of the way if I ran an excursion I'd hire him in a flash the only thing I didn't like was it was to short an excursion

    Helaas was het ons niet duidelijk hoe het precies ging in Mijas. We moesten naar het toilet en de reisleider was al weg op dat moment en we wisten niet waar heen. En de tijd vanaf het begin van de lichtshow tot het moment dat we weer bij de bus moesten zijn was erg kort. 20 min.
