We had a lovely day. Ronda is so stunning and our lovely guide Carmen was well informed and the driver (not sure of his name Francisco?) was also very good. Setenil was worth the stop, what an interesting little town. The bus broke down on way back, no one’s fault as these things happen and the bus look new and we’ll maintained . Thankfully we didn’t have to wait too long for a replacement. The driver made sure he stopped at a roadside cafe so we were not stranded in the dark, on a bus with no refreshments. An inconvenience but dealt with safely and efficiently by the driver and Carmen. I felt safe and would use this company again.

I booked this day trip for my parents, aunt and partner and I. We were all so impressed by the entire day. Carmen was awesome and I feel that she always did a great giving us well rounded explanations. She was also very kind to answer any and all questions we had. Ronda itself was amazing. I was originally planning to do the day trip by public transport but having Carmen guide us was absolutely worth it. The bus driver was also great! :)

This audio guide was great in Ronda! The town itself is fairly small and the tour took 2 hours approx. I was glad to have this and that we could do this at our own pace. A great perk is that it downloads and you can use it offline as well.

Very nice and interesting day trip. Ronda was more then we expected. Our guide was really nice and had a good knowledge of all history and information on the city. Worth of spending the day!

Very nice day trip to rural Andalusia! Ronda is a big surprise. We expected a lot but it was more them expected. Juan was our perfect local guide. Worth of spending the day!
