“Brilliant from start to finish, Alis kindly waited for 5 minutes as I was running late to the pick up point. We stopped in a little village for a coffee and to stretch the legs. Then onto Caminito Del Rey, from there Pedro was our guide. He was very friendly and informative. The views along the walk were amazing. Would highly recommend. Although you’re high up you always feel safe. At the end of the trip we had a little time to buy food drinks and souvenirs before heading back on the bus. Again the driver David was very good and safe”

A practical day trip from Málaga to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas, with free time, optional guide, and a little train in Setenil.
“This day trip to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas was absolutely fantastic and definitely worth checking out. Both cities were amazing, offering vastly different but equally beautiful experiences. Ronda, in particular, was breathtaking. The views from the Puente Nuevo are genuinely spectacular, and I felt we had plenty of time allocated to explore the city's streets, shops, and iconic viewpoints without feeling rushed. Setenil, with its houses built into the rock, offered a uniquely charming contrast. The logistics of the trip were very well managed. The transport was good, and everything ran exactly on time, which is always appreciated on a tight schedule. Our guide was the real highlight.…”
Malaga to Granada day trip with priority Alhambra entry, guided Nasrid Palaces and Generalife gardens, plus old-city time and views.
“Really well organised trip and great guides (Eduardo and Alex) with a lot of things packed in. Maybe some of the elderly members of the group and/or those hard of hearing would have benefited from additional repeated instructions as they missed some key pieces of information. A great day overall. Thanks!”

“It was an amazing day! I took a train from Torremolinos to Málaga (just an 18-minute ride), and right outside the station the bus was already waiting for us. We left on time with our guide JJ — an incredible guy, full of passion and a real talent for storytelling. In Álora we were joined by Ian, and from that point on we were split into two groups. Both Ian and JJ were absolutely wonderful guides! I ended up in Ian’s group with my sons, and honestly, I laughed until I cried. (Ian, if you’re reading this — I swear you missed your true calling. You deserve an Oscar for…”
