The trip was well organised but could have been longer by staying more in Setenil and Ronda. The guide was trying to cover three languages at once making it difficult to follow and not the same information was provided in different languages.

Both places are wonderful to see. Both are unique and they're one of the best places I visited. Highly recommended.

Sentenil was amazing could have spent an extra half hour there. Ronda was lovely with the bridge but disappointed that opposite the bullring the streets were full of modern day shops rather than traditional shops. The park was lovely make sure you get a drink before you rush around as approximately three hours is allowed.

Rhonda is very nice city and the drive is even better . I wish I could say the same about tour guide .

Two places not to miss in Spain. A great one day trip. Great guides and a fun filled day. May and June a good time to visit before it gets too hot.

My husband and I are avid travelers. We are active people and like to go exploring. We wanted to visit Rhonda and booked this tour as It seemed to be the easiest way to go to and from the town. Although I am sure It was a great experience for many, for us It was a slow pace, stopped at things we didn’t find very interesting and after we wished we looked up a mode of transport that allowed for us to move at our own pace a bit more. Our guide was excellent and this is no disrespect to anyone involved, It was just on the slower end of how we normally tour.

We really enjoyed our day in Sentenil & Ronda. Sentenil was fasicanating to see. In Ronda, we had lunch at sidewalk cafe across from a courtyard where a guitarist was playing. So wonderful!

This tour was badly organized. First of all our tour guide Venessa did not even look for her guests at the pick up point. There were at least 3 other groups at the same place and we supposed to know to which bus we belong? Venessa was standing at the door waiting to be asked if we are on her list! Second, she spoke English, French and Spanish with every announcement. I booked English tour, not French and Spanish! Third, she took us in Setnil to the centre of this little town and left us there for free time without any map of this town, just be back on the bus in 45 minutes. Same situation with Ronda . We had a better guide Antonio in Ronda but also we had no map or even exact address of the bus station. Just be back in 2 hours! Also, Antonio had no speaker or audio equipment and with so many tourists around it was very hard to hear what he was saying.

The pick-up point was easy to find as it was on a main road, and the bus stops are numbered. There were a number of coaches going to Ronda, but once we found the tour guide who had my name on his list, all was fine. Our tour guide, Fernando, gave lots of history and explanations both during the journey and at our quick Setenil de las Bodegas stop and then walking through Ronda to visit the bullring and the famous Puenta Nuevo. All commentary was given in both English and French on our tour. At the bridge, we were then told we were free to roam Ronda on our own until the coach departed at 15.30, giving us almost 3 hours to explore and have a leisurely lunch. Our guide was careful to give us clear directions and a landmark so we could find our way back to the bus station to meet our coach. We arrived back in Malaga at around 17.00.

Fernando was a great tour guide! We road in a bus to Sentinel de las Bodegas -- this is a town that is build in the eroded areas of the mountain -- kind of like it was built in a cave. We walked through the town getting some of the history. We then went to the town of Ronda.... so much history! We walked through the town and got some of it's history, then we made it to the Plaza del Toros -- Bull Ring, took a tour of the museum and saw the back ground area where the bulls were kept. We, then, made our way to the bridge between upper and lower Ronda -- and took lots of pictures. We then had free time to explore Ronda more, do shopping and get lunch on our own.
