Discover Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas in a Day from Málaga

John_L, Apr 2026

Very much worth your time and money

It seems like a long day but don't be put off!! The bus journey goes by very quickly as you are engaged by the stories told by the tour guide and the sites of the dramatic countryside and mountain ranges. Setenil and Ronda are well worth a visit and getting there by coach is so much easier and more relaxing than hiring a car. Well worth the time and money. As a side, a mention for our driver, Juan and guide, Irene. Lovely people who were genuinely motivated to ensure we had an unforgetable day. Thank you.

Super trip

Martina is an amazing guide. She was shepherding a big group of 50 odd travellers. Very patient. We were not informed that Cabke Car is not operational. We took a taxi which was arranged by Martina. But it was a bit chaotic and the cab driver Ryan was stressed. But the experience of visiting the rock and all other monuments was truly unbelievable

Cordoba Day Trip : A Journey Through History from Malaga

Nicole_C, Mar 2026

Wonderful day out from Malaga.

The trip to Cordoba was exactly as described. Our tour guide, Sara, made the bus ride interesting. We had the self-guided tour, allowing us 5 hours to explore Cordoba on our own, which gave us enough time to see the sights that interested us, enjoy a relaxing lunch, and take a walk by the river. If doing the self-guided tour, purchase your Mezquita tickets in advance, as time slots do sell out. It took about 2 hours to get to Cordoba from Malaga with a bathroom / coffee break on the way. 1.5 hours back, as there was no break, so also be sure to use the bathroom before leaving Cordoba. Overall a wonderful day trip.

Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs

William_B, Mar 2026

Malaga tapas tour

The tapas tour was a wonderful adventure. Elise was an exceptional guide who did a fantastic job pointing out local landmarks and explaining the influence of Muslim culture on the city’s architecture. Her knowledge of the city’s history added great depth to the experience. The tour also introduced us to a variety of local foods that I likely would never have tried on my own. It was a delightful way to explore both the culture and cuisine of the city.

An excellent, knowledgeable tour

No microphones or headphones so sometimes it was a little bit difficult to hear the 2 guides, particularly as I was on the tour with older parents, and the streets are noisy and bustling. However the guides were very considerate and kind to older people, as well as being very knowledgeable.

Wine & Tapas Malaga

Had a great evening exploring a number of bars and restaurants with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, Felipe. Tour was well organised but relaxed and learnt more about the local wines and food. As we walked between the four venues, Felipe told us about the city and some of the main sights. We were made very welcome at all the places we visited and Felipe had organised and ordered a range of tapas and wines for us to try. Had a very enjoyable evening and can really recommend whether you’re in a group or travelling solo. Felipe made sure everyone was included and got a great experience.

Engaging and informative

Lucia was a great guide, she seemed genuinely interested in the history of Spain and Andalucia, and had a very interesting and engaging way of telling it. The tour took us all over the Alcazaba, with further tips on what to see and not from there. The tour ended inside, so you can roam about and explore on your own after. Fascinating!

Private Tour to La Alhambra de Granada from Malaga

A Day Well-Spent with an Informative Guide

Our driver from Malaga was prompt, friendly, and courteous. He pointed out sites of interest and provided information as we made our way to Alhambra. Upon arriving at Alhambra, we met our guide, Pablo. Pablo led us on a thorough tour of this marvelous site. He was well-spoken and conducted a well-paced excursion. The details that he shared were interesting, informative, and entertaining. It was enjoyable learning the history and evolution of the Alhambra. After our tour and a lunch in Granada, we had a relaxing drive back to Malaga, with our driver ensuring that we met our "on board" time.

Beautiful long walk through the mountains

Really beautiful experience of the famous "King' pathway" with very interesting historical stories from our Spanish and English guide! Conveniently picked up and dropped off by a great experienced bus driver. Suspended bridge over the cliff was the most adrenaline driving thing!
