The tour to Rhonda was...
The tour to Rhonda was fantastic. We had a great time seeing the sights. Our guide Oliver could not have been better. He was amazing. He was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We saw all the sights and were able to see the bridge from below. We had a great lunch overlooking the bridge. I highly recommend.

A memorable day in Ronda.
This tour included hotel pick up, an invaluable perk when planning an optimal guided tour. Peter is so much more than a driver and his insights about Spain, Andalusia and Ronda were appreciated as was his warmth and charisma. HIs suggestions for lunch were informed and a highlight of the day was the Restaurante Albacara where the food and wine was exceptional and the view of the Puente Nuevo from the outdoor dining terrace priceless. Our knowledgable local guide Antonio provided thorough descriptions of Ronda's history and his passion for the area was evident as we walked the streets of both the new and old cities. Thanks to both men for a great day.

Excellent Ronda Excursion with with Oliver
Our guide, Oliver, did a superb job. Very knowledgeable with pertinent information.
Impeccable English. Went beyond the call of duty to provide extra touch. Found a store where I could get a replacement walking stick for the one stolen a few days earlier.
Excellent experience that my husband and I recommend highly.
