Even though the hotel never forgets that it has more than 600 rooms, making it a real tourist factory, the staff shows both professionalism and friendliness. This gives a total holiday feeling that never leaves. I didn't once feel like I was being treated like a "client", except sometimes by the other...clients! Congratulations also for the efforts on behalf of PMRs and other disabled people, I benefited from the complicity in this matter of my walker , delighted to have had an excellent holiday for him.

Half day was perfect

This easy half day trip was a great way to begin our Spain experience. Rocio was an excellent guide and very personable. We arrived in Mijas early and got to explore the town almost alone. During the free time everything was open and the town was bustling. Beautiful setting and small, quaint town was fun to explore.

Exactly what we wanted!

We were picked up at the cruise port on time and driven to Mijas (exactly what we wanted). The driver was not a tour guide, just a driver, which was fine with our group. In Mijas we were met by a tour guide who took us around the town and then we had free time to explore the area on our own. The driver then took us back to Malaga and we had additional time to explore (on our own) there before our cruise ship left the port. There was a little issue initially in booking, but it was all resolved to our satisfaction. We'd use this company again.

Amazing Tour! We were staying in...

<p>Amazing Tour! We were staying in Marbella, Puerto Banus and wanted to see something different, Mijas is gorgeous and was very close. This private tour was fantastic, we had Roccio as our tour guide, she made it very personalised and took us on the advertised trip and allowed time for us to go on a donkey ride around the town. Very relaxed, informative and Roccio was passionate about the culture which we loved!! 10/10 tour and friendly tour guide :</p>
