We were a bit skeptical about using a bus tour having a large group of people. The bus picks up people from 3 different cities and then leaves to the 2 destinations. I was surprised that everyone came at the right time and the bus left from Malaga which was the last pickup right on time. We had an awesome tour guide named Kathy (Kathleen) who was giving the guidance in English and Spanish. Again our concerns were put to rest because she did her job so efficiently and never felt that we were not informed what was happening. The landscape on the way is just serene and beautiful and Kathy described the history as well as all the important aspects of what we were looking at and we felt reached Setenil quite quickly because we were never bored. After a brief introduction of the place we were given 45 minutes to see the place ourselves. We did this and were back and we left for Ronda. At Ronda, we were given a very nice tour again by Kathy for an hour and a half. Ronda is so beautiful, it wi

We really liked the tour. The guide is a native of Morocco and explains everything very well, it is seen that he has a passion for what he does. You really know the culture and traditions because it takes you in the middle of local places that are not touristy.

This was one of the best tours that I have ever been on. Alex and Abdul allowed us to see a day in the life of the locals without feeling touristy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to visit Morraco to take in its rich history.

We had a fabulous day, pick up was quick and easy. Guided throughout the day. Excellent trip and guide.

Had a great day , friendly , informative and value for money 10/10
