Very well organized trip with bus and well-informed guide Carmen. During the trip she could tell everything about the history of Andalusia. In Ronda we walked past the highlights that Carmen told us about, so that we could visit a few things in more than two hours of free time. We visited the secret water mine. A nice walk with lots of natural spectacle. In Setenil the group was released for an hour, but that was more than enough to view the village from the sun and the shadow side. Great bus ride. Beautiful day in Andalusia.

Coached from coast to Setinel for a walk round the village for about an hour unescorted. Lots of small cafe/bars to grab a quick snack. Onto Ronda for escorted walk around gorge sights and into the old town before being left to do our own thing for about 21/2 hrs. Guide was excellent both in the coach journey and the tour and was pretty good value. Added bonus of coming back a different route to let us see more of the national park.

Quite a bit of driving but an informative and fun trip overall. Lots to see and learn. Our guide Peter was great. Do go to that bar opposite the arena in Ronda for the views - totally worth it. And as for lunch, check out Bodeguita (Calle Nuevo, 28) - cosy and beautifully authentic.

Very good experience, the free time that we were given to enjoy both Ronda and Setenil were perfect to enjoy the towns. The information provided by the guide was quite interesting and in summary it was a great time!

Very nice experience. The tour guide was informative and professional. The transportation is great.
