Overall a wonderful experience!! On our drive over from Malaga we had a great conversation with Thomas about Malaga and Ronda spanning food, sports, history, etc. In Ronda we toured the city with Antonio who was so knowledgeable and passionate. Thomas gave us great recommendations for food and coffee. Highly recommend booking this tour!!

Day excursion to Ronda from Malaga

Cathy_Y, Mar 2026
Oliver was a great guide. The day trip to Ronda was a great way to see one of the white villages. We were on a cruise. He met us at the port and made sure that we were back in plenty of time. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly

A special place not to be missed

Richard_H, Nov 2025
Rhonda is a beautiful city full of charm and history. Thomas, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and included Antonio for the walking part of the tour. Antonio’s ability to explain the history of the city and provided an in depth history of bull fighting in the first bull fighting ring in all of Spain. He brought the matadors to life with his stories of their fights and achievements. Thomas took us to places that were not on the tour but not to be missed. Thomas even found a gluten free bakery that was filled with delicious gluten free pastries and breads to make sure I had enough sweets for the rest of our trip. Great experience with a terrific tour guide

Memorable Ronda

Carolyn_N, Nov 2025
We had a very memorable day in Ronda, thanks to our tour guide Oliver who has such a wealth of knowledge, he’s like a walking encyclopedia 😀 He arrived to pick us up promptly, made sure we were comfortable during our ride to and from Ronda and took care of everything we needed during the tour. Ronda has plenty of historical and cultural curiosities and Oliver made sure he covered every single one. This is our first private trip and a bit more pricey than we’re used to but Oliver made it all worthwhile.

Oliver was the best! Was a delight to speak with and was very informative throughout the trip. He went out of his, even buying us umbrellas to deal with the rain. Definitely recommend.

great tour and tour guide

Dan_R, Apr 2025
Oliver was our guide and he was great! We were a little nervous about getting back to our ship in time so Oliver picked us up an hour earlier. He took us to all the places listed and since we got such an early start, we stopped at a local place for churros and hot chocolate. Neither my wife or I wanted tome to shop so he took us to some places that were not listed in the tour description. We had a wonderful day and made it back in plenty of time. would recommend the tour and tour guide.

Exceptional Tour of Ronda

James_M, Mar 2025
This is a wonderful excursion made even better by Peter and Antonio. Ronda itself is very unique and beautiful, and the history is amazing. Peter is super, and took care of making sure that our entire day was perfect. Antonio is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ronda and explained everything in detail. The restaurant that Peter recommended for lunch had a stunning view and delicious food. During our free time we took pictures at the spot that Antonio recommended. It all made for a fabulous day!

Amazing tour with stunning views

Diane_L, Dec 2024
Absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Oliver was so lovely, very friendly & knowledgeable. Ronda is a beautiful village, very picturesque. The bridge is stunning. To walk over it then also go to the bottom & look at the full height of it was fabulous. We loved our tour & would definitely recommend it.

Ronda is a must when visiting the white villages of Andalucía! Absolutely stunning views and incredible history!

A truly fabulous day!

Fabulous experience.

Vivian_T, Nov 2024
Our driver and tour guide, Oliver, made our trip to Ronda relaxing and very interesting at the same time. He met us right at our Airbnb. He recommended and took us to a restaurant and a roof top terrace with incredible views. He made every effort to make sure we were as comfortable as possible every step of the way. It was one of our best tour experiences. At the end of the tour he brought us to a peak in Malaga with a panoramic view.

The best tour I had

AnaMaria_T, Jul 2024
Tomas and Antonio were outstanding. We were picked up on time. They were very nice. Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about all things Ronda and beyond, from geography, history and even great jokes! This is by far the best tour I had. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended for everyone!

Ronda - a must see day trip from Malaga!

Pamela_M, Mar 2024
Thomas picked up our group of four in Malaga and drove us to Ronda. The tour was full of the history of the area along with history of places and things to and from Malaga. Ronda is lovely and easy to navigate especially with our guides. Interesting sights, plazas, homes, buildings were pointed out and all combined to make a great visit to this town. We had lunch overlooking the arches and gorge. After some free time Thomas drove us to the bottom of the gorge for more spectacular views. This tour has it all and we highly recommend visiting this part of Spain!

Just an amazing day!

Mark_R, Nov 2023
This was our first visit to Malaga on a cruise ship. I’ve always heard wonderful comments concerning Ronda, and decided to do something a little different from what the ship offered. This was a full day tour and our guide (Oliver) was wonderful. For some, booking a tour not with the ship can be a little stressful. Coordinating with the company (Peter) was easy and left no questions. Meeting Oliver at the meeting point was easy and getting back to the ship on time was not an issue. If you choose this tour, you will not be disappointed and it was everything I had hoped for. The views, information, and personal service Oliver provided was exceptional. Thank you Oliver for the wonderful day! Got some great photo that I can always look at and remember what a beautiful place Ronda is.

Strongly recommend!!

PRADEEP_R, Nov 2023
Peter who picked us (my wife, son and myself) up and drove us over was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and I would strongly Peter to all future customers. Plus Peter reached out to me a couple of days early on whatsapp, which was really reassuring. Antonio was our guide in Ronda and again was very knowledgeable about the history as well as interesting facets about Ronda. Again I would strongly recommend Antonio as a guide. It was a very pleasant trip. Thanks a lot again to Peter for all the advice also!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you so much, you have a lovely family. Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation in Spain! Hope to see you soon.

Beautiful sites of Ronda

Karen_F, Sep 2023
My cousins and I had a wonderful experience traveling to Rhonda. Our guide, Thomas, was fabulous. He was quite knowledgeable and gave us other helpful tips about other aspects of Malaga. We enjoyed the scenery, history, and the company of Thomas. We highly recommend this trip.

Don't miss this day trip!!

Kristen_W, Jun 2023
After 10 days in Spain I was feeling a bit tired and unsure whether I really wanted to do an all-day trip to Ronda. I am SO glad that we went! This was my favorite place that we visited in our 2 weeks in Spain. The town in absolutely magical. If you are going, you have probably seen the bridge, but the whole town has a certain charm that is hard to put into words. It is also at a higher elevation and the cooler temperatures are very refreshing as it's starting to heat up in southern Spain.

Great trip to Ronda

Burt_S, May 2023
Drove from Malaga to Ronda with Peter and driver. Peter was very nice and easy to talk with. In Ronda Peter took us to meet the local guide Antonio who was terrific. Our group of 7 had a wonderful time. Have no reservations recommending this tour.

Brilliant Ronda Trip.

Paul_M, May 2023
Five of us were collected in a spacious people carried by Thomas at our hotel in Malaga. In Ronda, a beautiful town, we met our tour guide. She was brilliant, very informed, perfect English, well-paced tour and gave us a fantastic lunch recommendation. Lots to see and do, the tour of two hours flew by. If you want a relaxed tour of a town with stunning views, lots of historical sights and a very informed and relaxed guide and driver, this is for you.
