Thoroughly enjoyed both towns. Tour very organized and on time. Bring water and a snack. And sunblock.
Melina was an informed guide and José was an excellent coach driver. We learnt a lot on this trip. Melina's guided tour of Ronda was especially valuable.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re delighted that you learnt so much during the trip and especially enjoyed Melina’s guided tour of Ronda. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with both Melina and José. We hope to welcome you again soon!
The guide Melinda (I think) and the driver were great.
I did not love the tour. The first village that we visited was a waste of time. We spend 1.5 hours there.
The bridge in Ronda was great but the rest was unremarkable. We spent 4 hours there which was WAY TO LONG. Not the guide's fault. Again, she was great.
I think the trip should have combined Marbella and a 2 hour visit to Ronda.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback! 😊 We’re glad to hear that Melina and our driver made a positive impression. We’re sorry the itinerary and time allocated to Setenil and Ronda did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your suggestions and will take them into consideration when reviewing the tour.
Scenic Ronda, our guide Tanya explains the history of Ronda very well. Lots of tourists near the Scenic bridge sometimes difficult to walk around to see the bridge.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your kind review! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed scenic Ronda and Tanya’s explanations about its fascinating history. We understand that the area around the famous bridge can get quite busy with visitors, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you again on another excursion soon! 🌟
Beautiful places! Lots of things to do and enjoy. Our tour guide Vanesa and the driver they were awesome. It’s a really nice experience.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the beautiful places and the experience. It’s wonderful to hear that Vanesa and our driver made your day even better. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with them. We hope to see you again soon! 🌟
Ronda was wonderful and the guide great. The tour was excellent. 4 hours a good length of time to be there too.
Not so happy with Setenil. The walk from and back to the coach was 15 mins each way which only gave an hour and we were told we had to be prompt, the map we had only showed the main streets, we got slightly lost and started to panic we couldn’t find our way, luckily did in the end but didn’t have time to really enjoy it. Maybe give more detailed maps or give customers the guide’s phone number to use if lost.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed Ronda, the guide and the time allocated there. We’re sorry Setenil felt rushed and that you had difficulty finding your way. We appreciate your suggestions about more detailed maps and contact information, and will take them into consideration to improve the experience.
Tania very informative and gave us great insight to the surroundings around us. Helpful and friendly.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that Tania made your experience even more enjoyable with her informative, helpful and friendly approach. We’ll be happy to share your lovely feedback with her. We hope to see you again soon! 🌟
Excellent day trip. Ronda doesn’t just sit in the mountains—it clings to them. Arriving on the winding mountain road, the landscape shifts dramatically from the rolling coastal hills into raw limestone cliffs.
Great full day out. Very well organised.
Our guide Tania was great and very informative!
We opted to do the optional walking tour in Ronda which gave us a good overview of the sights but we still had plenty of free time.
Well worth doing!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the full-day excursion and that Tania made the experience so informative. It’s great to hear the optional walking tour in Ronda gave you a good overview while still leaving plenty of free time. Thank you for recommending it!
Luis was a great guide he was warm and friendly and had good knowledge. He explained things well. The stops were great and I think enough time given at each place. I didn’t do the climb to the viewpoint at senetil rather chilled at one of the cafes and took more time at the houses under the rocks. Ronda was a lovely place didn’t do the guided tour but I’m sure it would have been good. Lots of places to see and visit. Luis recommended con Miguel for lunch at Ronda but I went to pura cera doesn’t have the views but amazing food and good for people watching. I would definitely recommend this tour company had great experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your detailed review and recommendation! We’re delighted Luis made the day so enjoyable with his friendly approach and knowledge. It’s great to hear you appreciated the time at each stop and were able to enjoy Setenil and Ronda at your own pace.
The trip was great. We’ve seen everything we wanted and the guide was very helpful. We only wish we had a little bit more time in Setenil, like 30 minutes more. Anyway it was great and it’s 5 stars from us :)
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the trip and found the guide so helpful. We also appreciate your suggestion about having a little more time in Setenil and will keep it in mind when reviewing the itinerary.
This tour company abandoned us, I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
We arrived early .for excursions, having come from New Jersey U S A only for this Ronda trip. no one came to pick us up at the confirmed pick up Point. THE OPERATOR ONLY TOLD US THAT THE TIMES WERE UPDATED, BUT THEY FAILED TO MENTION IT TO US.AND THAT we should contact the provider.then, they stopped answering my calls & massages. 👎👎👎
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re very sorry to hear about this experience. If the pick-up time was changed, that information should have been communicated clearly in advance. We also regret that you were unable to get the assistance you needed at the time. We will review both the pick-up communication and the handling of your calls and messages with the team.
Great day tour that provided a perfect amount of time in both locations. Excellent tour from Malaga, I highly recommend it!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation! We’re delighted you enjoyed the day tour and felt the time in both destinations was well balanced. It’s great to know the experience from Malaga met your expectations!
Excellent, great tour guide, very approachable, great English and all very clear. Good amount of free time in each place and well orchestrated, thank you
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you very much for your review! We’re delighted that the day left such a positive impression and that you felt well looked after throughout the experience. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we hope to welcome you again on another Visitanddo excursion.
Nice places but the bus was very very hot with poor AC, We got so wet that bus smelled bad. Fix it please
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed Ronda and Setenil, but we’re very sorry about the poor air-conditioning on the coach. Travelling in that level of heat is not acceptable and clearly affected your comfort. We’ll report this to the transport team so it can be properly checked.
The tour was good but the bus had no proper AC both ways, morning it was not bad because it was not hot! But coming back it was horrible. 88 degrees inside the bus. With over 40 humans in the bus.. just horrible. They know how hot it gets there.. the should check the bus before. It was so hot that I couldn’t breathe.. used my portable oxygen. When we got to the 1st stop almost every one got off. Couldn’t stand the heat
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We’re very sorry about the conditions on the return journey. Travelling without adequate air conditioning in such heat is unacceptable, especially with a full coach, and we’re concerned to hear you experienced breathing difficulties. We will review this incident with the transport team, as vehicle climate control must be checked and working properly.
An exceptional experience start to finish with Melina as guide in English and Spanish seamless quality narrative at sites: surrounding
Landscape; tour of Setenil and RONDA.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Melina’s seamless bilingual guidance and engaging commentary enriched your visit to Setenil and Ronda. We’ll gladly share your kind words with her and the team!
We had an amazing time on this tour to Setenil and Ronda. Malina was our guide, and she was absolutely incredible! She captivated the audience by the way she talked about the history and culture, covering many interesting details and nuances. Both towns were so unique and beautiful. We loved Ronda and had the best time. Would highly recommend booking this tour if you are looking to explore the Andalusia region.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation! We’re thrilled that Melina’s passion and storytelling made the history of Ronda and Setenil so engaging. We’ll gladly share your kind words with her. It’s lovely to know this excursion became such a memorable part of your time in Andalusia!
Friends had recommended that I visit Ronda and they were right. The gorge and new bridge were spectacular. The tour provided a lot to see and learn, including facts about bull fighting. Melina, our tour host, provided an interesting commentary on our way to Ronda.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your day trip to Ronda and found the Puente Nuevo and its spectacular gorge so impressive. We’ll gladly share your kind words with Melina, whose commentary helped bring the history and traditions of Ronda to life.
Sentinel de las bodegas was disappointing. It would have been better to have the extra time in Ronda or at least some guided tour of the city.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that Setenil de las Bodegas didn’t meet your expectations. The excursion is designed to combine both destinations, but we understand that some travellers may prefer more time or a guided visit in Ronda. We’ll take your comments into account to keep improving the experience.
Nice trip to take. Vanessa our guide was excellent, welcoming and very informative. Setenil was fascinating with the houses built into the rock face. Ronda had some really beautiful viewing spots over the valley. Perfect length of time in Setenil (1 hour), could have done with slightly more time in Ronda. Given 3hours 45mins, another 30 mins would have been perfect.
Check the opening times if you want to visit the church where the relic of St. Therese is kept. We left it to the end and it was closed.
If following Google maps to the meeting point, ignore the last turn off the main road which wrong. Pick up is on the main road further along .
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re delighted that Vanessa made your Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas excursion so enjoyable. We appreciate your suggestions about the time in Ronda, attraction opening hours and meeting-point directions. They’ll help us improve the experience for future travellers.

Picked up on time at 8am.Knowledgeable and friendly guide who took us to the start points for exploring both destinations.4 Hours in Ronda allowed time for a leisurely lunch and exploring the old town.1.5 hours was sufficient at Sentil,which was very interesting.Full day trip,very good value.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear customer,
Thank you very much for your kind review! 😊
We are delighted to hear that everything went smoothly from the punctual pick-up to the visits in both destinations.
It is great to know that our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and that you had enough time to enjoy Ronda at your own pace, with lunch and a walk through the old town. We are also happy that you found Setenil interesting and the full-day trip good value.
Thank you for choosing Visitanddo. We hope to welcome you again soon on another excursion!
Ronda was a wonderful experience. Lots of beautiful scenery. Good shopping and plenty of restaurants. Would have rather had more time in Ronda and skipped Setenil though-not much there

A full day out. A short stay in Setenil de las Bodegas, but this is plenty of time to explore this unusual village. 4 hours in Ronda to explore either with a guided tour or on your own. We explored on our own. A visit to the Bullring is recommended if you have never visited one before. The views are exceptional from the viewing points and the bridge is amazing to see. We had lunch at the restaurant Don Miguel on the terrace overlooking the bridge. Fabulous food and views. Melina was an excellent host and gave lots of information of places we passed on the coach. A really good day out.
Great day out from Malaga. Comfortable bus with air con and our guide, Monica gave interesting insights on the way. We chose not to have the tour on arrival in Ronda.

My sister and I found the meeting point was easy to locate. Melina, our tour guide, was friendly and spoke excellent English and was very informative; providing lots of helpful information enroute. The coach was comfortable and we felt safe during the trip. Setenil de las Bodegas was a very quiet but pretty village we visited on the way to Ronda. Ronda itself was beautiful. The bullring definitely worth a visit, then of course the bridge with the stunning views and we just had enough time for a bite to eat before heading back to the coach. Overall a truely lovely day out.
We did feel that a little more time in Ronda would have been nice so maybe a trip that solely goes to Ronda, missing out Setenil would have been our preference. Great day though, would definitely recommend.
