Our Málaga Sightseeing
Treasure Hunt is now at the tender age of 1 year and the first year
was an incredible adventure. One that we look back on without
regrets, only lessons and great moments to share. We are here today
starting into our second year, hopefully filled with meeting new and
inspiring people from all over the world in Málaga (a city we had
fallen so much in love with).
WE WANT TO TELL YOU HOW
IT ALL BEGAN
In 2015 we, Elizabeth and
Matthias had many small past successes after studying outdoor
education, social pedagogy, and psychology with lots of delightful
years abroad in Málaga, Granada and Valencia. Beyond the academics,
we felt, that there was a small idea sown in our heads.
An idea that tastes like
an adventure and smells like childhood....
As we loved going
geocaching in our free time especially when we traveled places we
haven´t been before.
We noticed, that all the
short city breaks lacked when it came to discovering this new city
in a way, we imagined. Of course, there were the typical free
walking tours, where a guide tells the same stories all day long,
Segway tours and bicycle tours that make you feel beeing on a giant
slalom and the Hop on Hop off buses, that just take you to
overcrowded tourist attractions.
And somehow we felt that
we have a solution. A seed became a small plant and our idea became a
business plan, which was a big challenge regarding that we haven´t
studied anything related to business. But we learned that in Málaga,
there was a lot of help provided by different European programs and
so our plant got more water and slowly grew.
We felt confident that
geocaching and looking for hidden clues in a new city is the most fun
and greatest thing to really get connected to a city.... Remember the
days back to your childhood and warm summer evenings outside
scavenger hunting. That was where the magic happened. And our idea
makes these days coming back again – Not with a piece of chalk but
with pitter-patter hearts and equipped with a modern compass (Thank
GPS!)
After working endless
days and sleepless nights on our little project, looking for places
in Málaga to fall in love with, working with locals to have great
insights and approvement to what we are doing, working on each and
every part of the sightseeing treasure hunt in Málaga to become the
greatest experience travelers in Málaga could imagine.
And then in September
2016 the first traveler group, a traveling family from Berlin joined
our tour. Since then every tour became our happy place. Each tour
with happy clients is motivating and inspiring at the same time!
This year we hope for our
plant that it becomes blossoms and that our little project becomes
more than just a dream...
LET ´S SHAPE THE FUTURE
OF CITY TOURS TOGETHER!
