Our guide Natacha was great ! She explained everything in detail, answered all our questions and made sure we find the Bus stop in Antequera. She also gave us a map for even better orientation. The Dolmens and the El Torcal are absolutely worth it. I would go again anytime

5 out of 5 stars

Incredibly exciting but was a little surprised that we had to find our way back to the city ourselves - it wasn't clear from the description - we had seen the city before and it is very beautiful - so a very beautiful thought - we look forward to the next trip with you 👍

5 out of 5 stars

Very good guide an despite of the weather she did a very good job. The foggy weather on El Torcal didn’t spoil our experience. Lisbeth and Gerhard from Denmark
