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.

This was an excellent trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history with passion. The driver was also very friendly. The guide took us on a tour of the main sites of Ronda which was extremely interesting. We then went to Sentenil where we were given an insight into the history of the village and were given some time to explore. All in all highly recommendable and well worth a visit. Many thanks!!!

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!

Nice trip and really pleasant experience. The tourist guide was great and told us interesting facts about Ronda. The town is beautifull and has a rich history. This is definitely the place to come.

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