As with all the trips in this area, there is a lot of walking involved, most of which is not on the level. The towns and itinerary are both great, but this trip was let down by the guide, whose command of the English language was poor, frequently asking Spanish speakers how to say words in English, this shouldn't be necessary and spoilt the day for a lot of people.
Fantastic bus trip! Our guide was funny, friendly and really helpful, making the whole experience enjoyable. Everything was well organised and we had a brilliant time. Would definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that our guide made the experience fun and enjoyable. It’s great to know everything was well organized and you had such a brilliant time. Thank you for recommending us! We hope to welcome you again soon. 💙
The day was disappointing for us. The tour guide did not give the impression that he was interested in the entire group. Instead of explaining everything on the bus via microphone, we had to get out regularly and were supposed to get more information. That was problematic because of the traffic noise. Furthermore, they never waited until the group was completely together. This resulted in having to ask again constantly. The last part - museum and tasting - was downright denied to us. Since I rely on walking aids, I was the last one to get off the bus. The group had already received instructions. When I reached the group, the entire procession started moving. I had trouble keeping up. Then the group moved quickly up a steep staircase. Since I had no way to ask the tour guide about the elevator, we looked for it ourselves. Once we arrived at the top, the group had disappeared. We didn't know what to do next. Since we missed a crucial part of the excursion through no fault of our own, we request at least a partial refund. A tour guide who does not make sure that everyone is present should be better trained. I haven't experienced this much disregard in a long time. If I hadn't experienced an excellent tour guide two days earlier, I would lose faith in the industry. I hope for a response.
Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie sich während der Tour nicht ausreichend betreut gefühlt haben und insbesondere der letzte Teil mit Museum und Verkostung für Sie nicht möglich war. Ihre Hinweise zur Kommunikation, zum Gruppenzusammenhalt und zur Barrierefreiheit nehmen wir sehr ernst und werden sie intern prüfen.
After two previous Viator tours the week before in Portugal, that were absolutely wonderful. This tour was very disappointing and unfortunately, it started with the tour guide. He was extremely rude to us when we just tried to ask him if this was the bus basically yelled at me to just get on the bus not even looking at my ticket. then from there it went downhill our very first stop. We told him we were not going to get back on the bus and we were just going to do our own thing for the rest of the day and he seemed very concerned and asked why we said there were some people that were rude and he totally didn’t understand what he had done from the very get-go of this trip. I was very disappointed, considering I have four more tours scheduled over the next month. I do hope someone in management reads this review and maybe reaches out to give us a refund..
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry that the guide's attitude made you feel unwelcome from the start. This is not the level of service we expect from our team. According to our guide's report, you chose not to board the bus in Marbella due to the behavior of other passengers—something for which we cannot be held responsible. We regret that the tour did not meet your expectations, and we will review the matter internally.
It was very good value for money..Puerto Banus and Mijas are beautiful places.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you found the excursion good value for money and enjoyed discovering Puerto Banús and Mijas. It’s great to hear both destinations made such a positive impression.
Enjoyed our day out, particularly Mijas, which has some beautiful views. A wee bit longer day than advertised, 8 hour round trip, but a great way to see several resorts along the way.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the day and especially the beautiful views in Mijas. We also appreciate your note about the total duration, as the various stops along the coast can make the day longer than expected.
We had a fantastic coach trip to Marbella, Puerto Banús and Mijas, and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. Our guide, Covi, was absolutely wonderful—she struck the perfect balance between being warm, friendly, humorous and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared lots of interesting information throughout the day while making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The itinerary was excellent, with just the right amount of time to explore each destination without feeling rushed. We would highly recommend this trip, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Covi as your guide!

I really enjoyed the excursion from start to finish. Being taken to 3 points in Málaga in the same day is very interesting. Mijas is spectacular.
