Cipriano was fantastic. An excellent way to see the smaller villages that you would never know where there. Very flexible with pickup and drop off.

While on holiday in Nerja last week myself and my husband had a lovely experience on the Mudejar Route and White villages with Oletrips. Our wonderful tour guides Cipriano and Miguel gave us a fantastic history of each village. The villages are absolutely amazing to see , with everything looking so beautiful and clean with gorgeous flowers everywhere. We had a lovely stop off for a coffee or a beer in one of the village squares which was so beautiful and quite, We got some beautiful photos of the old churches, old buildings, mountains and valleys. We finished off the tour with a lovely lunch in the last village. I would highly recommend this tour and will definitely book trips with Oletrips in the future.

Fantastic day out. We have travelled to Nerja many times and also toured Andalusia but had never been to one of these smaller villages before. Cipri and Miguel were both perfect guides, both extremely knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions. Met at the Ole Tour office, 5 minute walk from our hotel. Nice vehicle, clean and comfortable and the other people (5of them) were really nice and friendly so a good start. Mid morning stop for coffee (not included) in one of the villages. Beautiful little square, very quiet and peaceful. As there is only a short distance between each of the villages we visited you don’t feel like you are stuck in the mini bus all day and we never felt rushed. Late Spanish lunch in last village was delicious (included in price). Lots of choice and all of our group seemed to enjoy what they chose. Would highly recommend this day tour. The villages are filled with history and atmosphere. Would certainly book on another of Ole’s tours in the future

Had a great day ..pick up prompt..introductions made then into a nice vehicle ...we did 1 more pick up and off to the villages.... Miguel was a lovely guy very approachable if you wanted to ask questions...Ciprianos was very knowledgeable and a good driver on those bendy high up roads....we had a lovely meal included in the price... The villages were amazing, so empty and quiet it was like another world... Would definitely do another trip with these guys... We also had a nice group of people which made the day pleasant too.

Absolutely brilliant tour today. Picked up right outside our apartment on time with an immaculate car. Small group loads of historical information visiting the local white villages and spending time with local artisans. Loads of time in each location amazing wine and fabulous lunch. Highly recommend.

An absolutely fantastic day. The guide/driver Cipriano was unbelievably knowledgeable, which enabled us to learn so much about the area. The villages are so beautiful and being shown around, enhanced our visit. After all the sightseeing, enjoyed an excellent lunch. All the dishes were very tasty.

agnca

Cipriona is an excellent guide . Very approachable. Also his trainee colleague was so helpful, and will make for a great guide and driver

Jim L

This was a great full day trip. Lot of history and breathtaking mountain scenery. Guide (and owner) Cipri showed passion , knowledge and shared personal insight adding depth. He was very patient with our older group with a good number of steps. Coffee break and lunch allowed a nice, reasonable pace. If you are in the area for a couple of days we would recommend the trip and the company. Many different trips!

MadeleineK439

This was a fabulous tour - visiting five really interesting white villages. Cipriano was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide, passionate about the history of the region. This truly is a day out not to be missed.
