An excellent small group experience (7 people) with Emilio, a very knowledgeable guide. It was like being with friends and a great host.

Unique location…like nothing else! Excellent and well-informed guides, great trip! Would not hesitate to book again.

Emilio was our guide and driver, he was amazing, has lots of information to share, semi private trip was just 4 people, made our day and trip worthwhile.

Be prepared for a lot of walking so ware comfortable shoes. It was a beautiful beautiful experience and we loved the sites and history. Manu was a great tour guide.

Emilio was outstanding ! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. This excursion was well worth it !
We definitely recommend it.

Setenil de las Bodegas is quite different. Manu took us beyond the Sol and the Sombra.
Try the payoyo cheese.
Ronda has grown so much since I was here about 30 years ago. It was still spectacular the second time around.
Manu has so much to share. He was quite careful about giving us the truth about a place vs what a touristy story.

Excellent day out. Group of 6 very friendly passengers and our excellent travel guide Manu.
Manu kept us entertained all day and adapted things to take in extra requests.
I would highly recoiment a visit to Setenil & Ronda and if you do choose Travel Factory.

Emilio’s knowledge and enthusiasm made this day trip extra special. Thank you so much for a fantastic day .

Our Ronda tour was truly one of the highlights of our entire Spain trip. The dramatic views from Puente Nuevo and the El Tajo gorge were absolutely breathtaking, and every corner of the old town felt like stepping into a storybook.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Ronda’s history and culture. We learned so much about the city’s Moorish roots, its bullfighting traditions, and the legends behind its stunning architecture.

Good tour. There is a bit of walking during the hot afternoon hours. Shops to eat / shop and interesting historical town
JACKIE_C, May 2025
Absolutely stunning small group tour. Emilio our guide felt like an old friend by the time we ended the excursion! So much was learned about the history and culture of this area. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and would highly recommend him. This type of tour is well worth a little extra for a personal more informative experience with like minded travellers.

This tour was first class. We got to see so much during the tour. Emilio our tour guide was excellent. It felt like going on a tour with a friend rather than a guide. His knowledge of the places visited and seen was amazing and he took his time and explained everything and answered any questions we asked. The pace of the tour is easy going which is good and as it is a small group, it felt more relaxed. Thank you for a great day out!!!

This is a full day of exploration. Emilio picked up our group of 7 in a nice Mercedes van. He drove us to Setenil, where we spent about an hour walking that amazing little town where many homes and businesses are embedded against giant overhanging rocks. Then on to Ronda which was larger and even more beautiful than expected.
Emilio did a great job of communicating the logistics of our trip both before and during the trip. He is a native of the area and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about its culture and history. His English is excellent so it was a pleasure to listen to him; he’s easy to understand.
The tour was just the right mix of group exploration and time on our own. Also, Emilio was very generous with his time. He asked if we needed to be strict about the time. Since no one had an evening commitment, we weren’t rushed at all.
Ram_R, Feb 2025
Emilio took time to give us detailed information including a great deal of historic information. He took as much time as we wanted. Amazing guy!

This was one of our bucket list of things to do. Firstly, we had a great guide in Manu, he was on time and gave us the greatest news possible that this tour would be equivalent to a private tour as some other guests had cancelled their booking.
He explained our itinerary very thoroughly highlighting the reasons why we would visit Serenity first and then Ronda which turned out to be the correct decision due to the weather.
Both places were really a sight to behold, though for me Ronda was truly amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed this tour and will make every effort to book with Manu again if ever we are back in Spain

Emilio our tour guide was wonderful!
Passionate about his home country and very informative.
Was a great day, highly recommend Emilio
German_A, Sep 2024
our guide Emilio was the best.... knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job..... and the towns were amazing... what more could you want
Eric_K, May 2024
This was a really great way to explore the area a bit outside of Malaga that I likely wouldn’t have thought to visit on my own. Emilio was a fantastic and enthusiastic guide, giving our small group insights into Spanish culture and the histories of Setenil de las Bodegas and Ronda. Walking through the narrow streets and taking in the beautiful scenery of these truly unique places was well worth the time. Our guide did a great job with an unexpected language challenge with our group, and we all ended up having a wonderful time thanks to Emilio’s flexibility and ability to accommodate to the needs of his guests.

Many gave us a great tour. It was more than we expected. We all had a great time seeing the sights too to bottom! You should not miss Ronda!
Oleg_S, Mar 2024
It was informative and we had enough free time in any place , on time and good luck with other trips
Sandra_V, Oct 2023
A slower paced smaller tour that allows you to enjoy your day. The guides are friendly and helpful, and provide intetesting history.
Sentinel is a beautiful little town with unique geological features. Fun to walk about and imagine times in the past.
Ronda is a bit bigger, perched on top of a large cliff. There are stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. A highlight is the famous Ronda bridge.
Rosauro_M, Dec 2022
Manu was such a wonderful guide. He knew the area very well, had great insights to the places. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends who would want to visit Ronda and Setenil.
Shathana_R, Oct 2022
100% worth the money, so much history and knowledge from our tour guide, and was a group of three total so we got a lot of attention! The only thing I would recommend is maybe give a list of restaurants and precise directions to get to them. We were told about a restaurant but couldn't find it as it was on google maps and weren't sure about the spelling.
Viktoriya_K, Sep 2022
Manu was a pleasure as a guide and made our trip an absolute gem! We’ll remember the caves of Sentinel and the stunning views of Ronda for life!
MARCELO_D, May 2025
A smaller group makes a lot of difference. The guide, Emilio, super courteous, patient and good driver (because the distances are significant). During the route advanced information on Setenil and Ronda, and on the walks was calm and very attentive with the whole group. Note 100!

Visitar Ronda y Setenil fue como volver al pasado, nuestro guía Manu nos llevó por caminos maravillosos y nos explicó la historia de estos lugares si visitan Malaga no dejen de hacer este tour especialmente con Manu.
