Learning about the history of Ronda was fascinating. It was interesting to hear and learn about the old city and the modern city. The main goal was to see the Puente Nuevo bridge. It was magnificent! Our tour guide, Milagros, did an excellent job of talking through the history of the bridge and of the region.
Very knowledgeable tour guide and full of passion to share us. He is local guy. Driver is very polite and concern.
A must see! So beautiful I came back a second time. The friends I went with the first time and the different friends I went with this time agree it’s a must see if you’re in Spain
No reason to spend hundreds of dollars on a bus tour. We were 3 adults and a child. I drove myself in a car rental the approx. 30-35 miles from Marbella on route A-397 over the mountains with multiple spectacular views. The drive takes about 60-75 minutes each way. You then have all day to visit Ronda, see the old historic bridge, and even drive through the valley below which you see from the lookout points at the end of the town's walking/shopping street. Many tourists here. Many eateries for lunch. It's worth the time and drive. Leave Ronda at 6-6:30 PM (summertime) and you're back before sundown.
<p>I have taken dozens of yours over the last few years and this was by far the best mainly because of our guide Maria Gomez. It was like having a local friend showing us around. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. I will request her as our guide when we return to this area. Ronda is amazing!</p>
<p>Rocio was outstanding. Her English was very good and her knowledge of the area excellent. She is a very pleasant young lady and we enjoyed spending the day with her.</p>
