Setenil de las Bodegas and Ronda

Tesy_P, Apr 2026
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.

Exhausted in sentinel

debra_m, Mar 2026
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.

Wonderful experience

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.

Excellent day out.

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.

Beautiful visit to Setenil and 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.

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

Beautiful day trip to Ronda

Jenna_R, Oct 2025
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.

Martin_G, Aug 2025
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.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks!!

Highly recommend

Ashley_F, Jul 2025
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 is a gift, the company is unresponsive prior to the tour

Taylor_S, Jun 2025
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

H_R, May 2025
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.

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.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

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.

Amazing day trip from Malaga to Sentinel and Ronda

Joe_Z, Jan 2025
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.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

YEVGENIYA_B, Sep 2024
The trip was amazing! Pedro was a great! From the moment he came in to the meeting spot till the moment we all left the tour, Pedro was very enthusiastic, friendly and just such a great person! He kept everyone engaged and gave great guidance and suggestions. I took 3 tours all from different companies during this trip, one was terrible, the other was barely ok, but this one was sooo good. I wish I booked all my trips with this company. Thank you Pedro for making our Ronda tour so special!
