Miriam took control of a very large group and the trip was a wonderful experience
Perfect weather always helps . I got to see and do everything I hoped to.
Highly recommended

The tour itself was interesting and our guide was great. The reason I rated it so low is that half the group on our tour didn't pay attention to very clear instructions, and while everyone was getting off the bus, decided to remain on the bus, so we left for the tour. About 15 minutes into our tour, that we paid for, the guide got a call from the office regarding the unhappy guests that "she abandoned." We continued the tour and about 15 minutes later, the group joined us, were yelling at the guide in front of all of us and demanded she repeat everything she had already said to us. So to appease them, she did, making all the people who know how to follow clear instructions to wait for her to repeat in both Spanish and English. This also put the tour behind. So not only were we delayed, we had to witness the guide be verbally abused by guests which was distressing. Because of this situation, it shortened the amount of free time we had and we were quite rushed to try to see some of the city before leaving. When we returned to the bus, some of those people were yelling at her again. It was ridiculous. Had that not have happened, the tour would have been great! My biggest reason for the two stars is that the company itself allowed their guide to be abused by guests and when I reached out to them about the situation, they didn't bother to respond. There are lots of options for tours to Ronda. I can't recommend MSE and would recommend going with a different company.

One of the most picturesque towns in Spain. The guide was very good. Keep in mind, there is too little time allocated in Setenil. Do not waste it on eating at a cafe, etc.

Monica was so detailed yet light hearted. I highly recommend this tour. You will feel like you got your moneys worth with this experience!

We loved the day-trip! We had plenty of time to explore each city. Maria was a great guide with lots of useful information!
I highly recommend!

This trip was excellent. I learned about the very interesting history of both towns. Setenil de las bodegas was very interesting even though it was a very cold and foggy morning, I enjoyed it immensely. Ronda was also very nice. I enjoyed listening to the history of this town. Orson Wells loved Ronda so much that he requested to have his ashes spreaded at a farm he spent his time at. Ernest Hemingway was a frequent visitor to Ronda as well Japanese painter Miki Haruta spent his last days there painting the mountains and an urn with his is at the place where painted at at the end of his life. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide switched the order of the tour to Sentinel first so there was no small train to take us 6000 steps down hill to the rock formation and most restaurants were closed because it was very early. Then with 6000 steps back up hill took a very long time for us so only 20 min for a water. Our guide, Monica, was no where to be found at the bottom. Only 8 people made it back on time at 11.10, so now less time in ronda too. Very poorly organized trip. Also a 91 year old participant and her family were very worried. This tour did not indicate high exercise needed to participate.

Great opportunity to visit two different towns, both very interesting on their own. Tour guide (Pedro) was excellent, very knowledgeable.
Patrycja_G, Feb 2026
Despite the inclement weather, we had a wonderful experience visiting Sentil de las Bodegas and Ronda. Our guide was very informative, approachable, and happy to answer questions. The restaurant recommendations provided for our free time were excellent and really enhanced the visit.

It’s an early start but the journey is beautiful, Setenil is amazing and Ronda is spectacular! Definitely worth going.
Adam_S, Nov 2025
This is a great historical tour of these two locations. Gloria was very knowledgeable on the subjects and helpful with recommendations for our free time. I only wish we had more time in Ronda.
Cary_S, Oct 2025
A great trip to Setenil and Ronda. Could have had longer time in both so will have to go again one day. Too much too see and too little time.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks!
Maree_P, Oct 2025
Great trip enjoyed Ronda. Would make more sense to go there first to try & avoid the crowds & then stop at the second stop on the way back to Malaga
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks!

Another beautiful location in Andalusia! With plenty of activities and places to explore. A rooftop bar with amazing views, the walk to the bridge, the bullring and plenty of shopping.
A great park in the area dedicated to markets and tribute to famous artists and scholars.
It was worth the trip out there and you could easily spend many hours there to take it all in.
Gloria was also a fabulous tour guide, her translations between Spanish to English was impeccable and she had a great sense of humour. She did well to manage the day and our group size.

Host was great, took care of everyone. Overall a great tour, Ronda very worthwhile and the short guided tour through the town for an hour helped with your bearings, alongside some nice history about the town...
Setenil was a little disappointing, literally two streets and a handful of shops, plus it takes 10-15 mins to walk in and out of the village for just one hours' time. Would have preferred all that time in Ronda.

We went as a family of 5 with 3 kids between the ages of 7 and 13. Gloria was fantastic, the bus was perfectly cool and comfortable. Setenil was a quick stop which was perfect, Ronda was beautiful and very interesting to explore.

Pedro was a fantastic guide- so sweet, kind and funny. The tour went very smoothly and the bus was air-conditioned and very comfortable. We had a great experience in both places and loved the cadence and guidance of this trip. The only complaint I would have was that when we booked there was a note that said you could choose your pick up point or that they would pick you up from a location of your choice that is actually untrue. I tried to contact the company about this to figure out where we should get picked up. No one responded to me. Luckily I did go on viatour and saw that there was a pick up point listed and we did go there and was able to join the tour with no problems, but I will say that the company unresponsive before the tour.

Great trip to Rhonda. Stopped at cave village which was great.
A bit wet that day but a great tour around town. Guide was organised and spoke very good English. Enough free time to wonder around this lovely town

A very pleasant tour. Our guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable, professional and friendly and provided lots of interesting information about the history and customs of the region, as well as suggestions for our free time, which was plenty. He was fluent in Spanish and English and handled both groups excellently.
However, the experience would be greatly improved by using an audio system, as it was sometimes hard to hear him, especially in crowded locations.

This was a wonderful bus day trip to see two specific towns in the Spanish countryside. Our guide, Pedro, was knowledgeable and friendly! You will need small euro coins to use the pay toilets at both stops.

Thanks!
Leah_S, Mar 2025
Fabulous trip. Pedro our guide was great passing on so much information and history about Setinel and Ronda both on the bus and during the walking tour of Ronda. He also showed a lot of enthusiasm with recommendations on what to see, where to eat etc and was generally a great guide. Was a great balance of guided tour and free time to do your own exploring in both stops.

Don’t hesitate and book this tour! We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed both Setenil and Ronda, two amazingly charming towns nestled in some gorgeous scenery. Pedro and Monica were amazing guides and full of information to share with us.

We had the best guides, Monica and Pedro. They were very attentive and informative. It took just under 1.5 hours to get to Sentinel. Once we were there, we had an hour to explore, which was plenty of time. Ronda was only 20 minutes from Sentinel. We split into two groups and we had a great walking tour with Monica for about an hour. And then we had 2 more hours to explore, the was plenty of time. The bus was great, and overall great experience.

Very nice guided tour and free time in Ronda and Setenil. Guides were great. Pedro and Jose both did wonderful jobs. We enjoyed it a lot. All 4 of us are near or past 80, but we did fine.
