Quick, convenient and...

Quick, convenient and efficient way to see Setenil and Ronda if you’re pressed for time and don’t feel like renting a car. Ronda requires at least two days to see all the sites properly but if you just want to see the town and the bridge, this will do. Michelle was wonderful and so entertaining.

Must see

Great tour, beautiful places. We did the tour without a guide. The julia travel representative provided us with maps amd directions before giving us a meeting point for the return trip. The 2 cities are very quaint, lots of places to get a quick bite, great pictures and conversations with locals. Julia Travels ensured we were satisfied! Great agency in Torremolinos!!

All day

The tour is an all day event. The bus was comfortable and our driver was excellent. Upon arrival in Ronda one guide took the Spanish speakers and another took the English speakers. Part of the time was with the guide and part of the time we were on our own. The second stop took less time because it's a small town. Interesting though.

Stunning

Beautiful places. Great service. Could have been sold with the option of a city tour as this was not clear on the information. Managed to jump into a free city tour of Ronda but only by luck and added so much more richness to my experience of Ronda.

Not what was promised

I booked a tour to Ronda from Torremolinos. Although the tour was booked from Viator, it was presented to me as a tour by Julia Travel. I selected that tour because of the fine reputation of Julia Travel. I was asked to meet the tour bus at a nearby hotel. It was not a long walk, but it was a cold and rainy day and it was not pleasant to stand outdoors in the rain, waiting for the tour bus which was 10 minutes late. The next pickup stop for the tour bus was my own hotel. I asked why I was asked to come to another hotel and wait in the rain rather than being permitted to board the bus at my own hotel. The guide's answer to me was that when you book the tour on the internet, you must meet the tour bus at a central location. Only those passengers who book the tour at the hotel's tour desk are granted a pickup at their own hotel. Nothing about the tour bus or the tour guides mentioned Julia Travel. One of the guides said he was employed by Diversion Tours. That was also the information on the tour bus. The guide explained that all of the tour companies hand off their passengers to Diversion Tours so that there will be one full tour bus instead of multiple buses which are mostly empty. I was one of the passengers who was handed off to Diversion Tours. The tour offered by Viator in the name of Julia Travel promised a visit to a winery and a wine tasting. That was never offered to me. I was not treated correctly with respect to (1) not being picked up at my own hotel, (2) being handed off to Diversion Tours, and (3) not being provided the promised visit to the winery and the wine tasting?

Ronda is excellent but the trip was poorly managed and over priced

Ronda is the main attraction and was our main reason for booking this trip The guide was very complacent and showed little enthusiasm. Not worth the money

Ronda enchanted city

When traveling through Andalusia, is a must to visit Ronda located in a top of a mountain and also visit the oldest bull fight arena in Spain.

This is a terrible experience when taken from Malaga

We started in Malaga and it took 2:15 to pick up other people before we ever started for Malaga, and repeated it when we came back. Made a 4 hour tour into an 11 hour day before they finished. Bull ring a waste of tour time. Guide read the description to us even though they were in 4 languages. The wine tasting was a joke. By all means go to Malaga and see the gorge. That is amazing, and no guide is needed.

Been on dozens of tours throughout Europe. This tour was the worst.

Booked Malaga to Ronda tour due to proximity to Ronda from Malaga. Unaware the bus would make NUMEROUS stops along the coast. An hour and a half rode took 3 hours. Tour guide didn't say hello or introduce himself until almost 2 hours into the drive after everyone was picked up. He translated in 4 languages which would be impressive if you were a knowledgable and intelligible guide. We ditched the group in ronda and went off on our own so that we could get some enjoyment out of the day. Take the bus from malaga and enjoy ronda at your own pace. My favoritr part was when we were traveling back to Malaga the tour guide got off the bus at an undesignated stop to go home. Rude and unprofessional. I steongly advise you to skip this tour.

Dear MariaMCT, Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your experience. With regards to your commentaries I would like to inform we do state in our all official selling points our tours include several pick up and drop off stops during the journey. I sincerely regret the agency with whom you booked the visit did not inform you accordingly. Moreover, I regret the visit did not live up for the expectations you had for the same. On the other hand and with regards to your commentaries on the guide's behaviour, rest assure I will take action on the matter. Best regards, Alex B

Better if you do this on your own!

Meeting point was not clear and we ended up walking for a while at 6am trying to figure out the correct location. Tour guide was very grumpy and you could easily do this on your own without booking any tours. - Get the bus/train straight to Ronda - There are a number of wine tasting venues so we could have walked in without booking On the whole Ronda is nice and worth a visit! Def eat at Casa Maria!

Dear Jenn13Malta, Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your experience with our Ronda tour. Firstly, I regret you had trouble finding the meeting point of our tour in Malaga and that this set the tone of your day. Our office in Malaga is open until late night for our customers to contact us and reconfirm the meeting time and point of their tours in order to avoid this type of incidents. By the same token, we require all our customers to reconfirm their tour reservations. Nonetheless, I am pleased you liked Ronda and I must agree with you. It is trully worth a visit! Best regards, Alex B
