Excellent tour, highly recommend. Our tour guide
Oliver was very knowledgeable and professional. If you can recommend him, your tour will be excellent beautiful part of Spain. We also enjoyed that it was a private tour so we were able to accommodate what we exactly wanted to do on this tour with Oliver

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Oliver. He was timely, full of wonderful information and helpful. He made many suggestions as to things we wanted to see and experience. We made stops along the way which allowed us to see and enjoy so much of the local traditions and scenery. We would highly recommend a tour with Oliver !

Thomas met us at our apartment in Marbella and drove us to Ronda. He told us history on the drive. Once in Ronda we met up with local guide Antonio who walked us through new and old town, the bull ring and bridges. His knowledge of Ronda was just amazing and we learned so much. We were given recommendations for places to have lunch and then exploration time. Thomas then showed us some more of the town from below the cliffs and then we drove back to Marbella. Ronda is a spectacular city and this was one of our favorite tours while in Spain

Great tour. Very good communicating pick up at our hotel. The drive was long but he did a great job of keeping it interesting. Really enjoyed the stop for coffee and breakfast that he picked. The tour was just long enough to see the main sites. Helped us find a place for lunch that was excellent and gave just enough time to explore the shopping area on our own before heading back to our hotel. On the way back, we were talking that we needed to stop at a grocery that evening and he took us to one of the local grocery stores on the way back so we did not have to go the the high priced shops by our hotel.

First of all, Oliver from Costa Excursions was an amazing guide. He made the day so much fun. Ronda is a must see and great for a day trip. Old world meets new world and the bridges are fantastic! Good food, some nice shopping and wonderful views.

The tour to Ronda was spectacular. Our guide Oliver was very considerate and knowledgeable. He had to park his car a couple blocks away and walked to our small hotel in the old town of Marbella to meet us at the designated meeting place. Another tour operator we used for a different tour made us meet the driver at another location, because the driver found the narrow streets too hard to navigate. The change in the meeting place caused confusion and wasted time.
When I told him that I needed to get cash, Oliver informed me which ATM I should use because some banks charge less for service fees (2 euros vs 7 euros).
The weather was nice initially but it grew too hot for us to continue walking. He offered to give us a driving tour instead.
He was very amenable to make our stop requests. For example, even though we have just passed the stop I wanted to make, he would turn around. He also made stops for us even though they were only a few meters apart.
Our trip was made extra enjoyable due to his friendly demeanor and his facility to carry on full conversations because of his fluency in English. It turned out that we share the same interests in music and travel 🙂

I did not know what to expect on this tour but I was very happy I did. We were a group of 4 people and did a private tour. Oliver was our tour guide and we couldn't have been more taken care of. Ronda is a beautiful town and worth seeing. Had lunch overlooking the gorge where Oliver took our picture from the bridge. He also took us for sangria overlooking the bull ring. Had a great day exploring Ronda a learning about the Spanish culture.

We are two couples traveling Spain that scheduled a private day trip to Ronda from Marbella. Our guide was Oliver, and he was absolutely perfect! He was slightly early to pick us up and explained what our day would entail. Oliver is intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly, humorous.... he took perfect care of us and made sure we had fun. His recommendations were excellent, and the pace of the tour was perfect. He even did a drone video for us. We have taken several tours during our travels, and Oliver was the best!

We had the pleasure of spending a day with Oliver on a private tour to Ronda, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment he picked up our group of six, he made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Oliver is not only a skilled and safe driver but also a kind and patient guide—especially with those in our group who had knee issues. He made sure everyone was at ease and took the time to adjust the pace as needed.
Ronda itself is absolutely breathtaking, with its stunning cliffs, historic bridges, and picturesque streets. Oliver’s insights and recommendations helped us fully appreciate the beauty and history of this incredible city. He also guided us to a fantastic restaurant with beautiful views, making the experience even more special.
Beyond the tour, Oliver went above and beyond by making himself available for any additional questions we had throughout our stay. His warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the region made our day unforgettable.
If you’re considering booking a tour with Oliver, do not hesitate! He is an outstanding guide, and we would highly recommend any experience he offers. Thank you, Oliver, for an amazing day in Ronda!

We had a wonderful trip to Ronda. Oliver, our guide was excellent. He was pretty fluent in English, knew all the places in Ronda, their history and the vantage points to take great photos. As a guide, he explained the history of various sites in Ronda very lucidly, provided historic facts and recommended excellent places with scenic views for lunch. As a driver, he was great, picked us on time from Marbella, dropped us at various vista points for great shots. Ronda was so beautiful. Highly recommend this tour and especially Oliver as a guide.

What a great day with Luka! We loved Ronda and saw the bridge and views from many great photo spots. Luka made a reservation for us at a lovely restaurant on the hillside that also had a great view. He even made time to take us to Carmona for a Quick peak of the beautiful views on our way back to Marbella.

The trip up the mountain was very pleasant. The local tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the town. The kids enjoyed learning about bullfighting and seeing the actual fighting ring. We also had a Spanish lunch before we did some shopping.

Peter, our driver, and Antonio, our tour guide were very knowledgeable of the area and sites we visited! Peter was very communicative before the trip, which we appreciated. He also arranged for lunch with a view of the bridge! Antonio was a fabulous tour guide giving us a memorable and interesting tour of Ronda and it’s rich history! My only recommendation is more time…. Even 2 more hours would have made a difference…. So very much to see!
