We enjoyed our tour a lot. Our guide, Manuel was perfect, extremely knowledgeable, he made our tour very interesting. On our way he provided information about all aspects of life in the given region. He could speak about olive trees , olive oil, farming and ham, and the history of that region as well. The local food, he recommended , was also very delicious. Although it was raining heavily, we did not mind it! Ronda and the white villages were really worth it! All in all Manuel and the driver were great, we can highly recommend them!

Great day - loved visiting the White Villages and exploring their charm - Ronda was fun to see - a bit touristy but still enjoyed the experience. Our guide Luis was the best - great driver, interesting person and extremely knowledgeable - he made the trip very enjoyable.

The trip was wonderful. Driss was a fantastic tour guide. He explained the history of Andalucia, the olive oil making process when we visited the processing plant, and gave us an overview of the villages we visited. The driver was very pleasant and drove carefully and there was no waiting for pick ups. Driss was very happy to answer any questions. His happy personality made the day a fun one for all of us. I had never been on a tour before and I have to say when I arrived back in Seville I felt I had had a marvellous day out. Thank you.

Thanks to our lovely guide Driss and our reliable driver Antonio we had a great and exciting day from beginning to end. Our group of about 9 people from all around the world became a little family and our guide Driss took very good care of us. He took us to breathtaking, fairytale-like places and let each of us feel as a part of our group. He could speak some words in each language and was very interested in everyone enjoying the tour. Besides of our guide and our driver, who made a great team, by the way, the places (Ronda, the White villages and even an olive oil mill) we have been were just amazing. It really was a once in a lifetime experience.

This morning we left Seville with our guide Roman and driver Fran - we wish to thank them both so much for looking after us in our journey. Along the way we picked up a small number of others, and so began Roman's commentary on the history of the province of Seville and why it has been such an important region for many centuries. In Ronda we met up with our local guides Sandra and Armanda (spelling?). Nothing beats the knowledge of locals!!! From the history of the beautiful.old bridges, to the shifty bishops of days gone by, the wealth reflected in the Cathedral accompanied by a painting of the only female representation of the last Supper. The personalized tour of the operations of the famous Bull Ring - along with the museum and a rich explanation of the rituals associated with bullfighting. We had such a wonderful day and would like to thank AndalSur so much for our introduction to the Andalucia.

I embarked on this day tour as I realised it would be rather difficult for me to get to Ronda and the White Villages by public transport. Ronda had been highly recommended by a relative as a place not to miss out on.
I much enjoyed the two small 'White Villages' we visited and strolled around but felt our time in Ronda was far too short! We had wasted time in the morning visiting an olive farm and distillery ( really what for - certainly not to gain an understanding of these). Then a focus was on having a long lunch. These two things meant we really didn't have long enough in Ronda - I felt rather hard done by - Ronda looked like a place I could wander for 3-4 hours instead we would have been lucky to have an hour here, which was rushed - only because I spoke up did we get a short bit more of time.

I was so excited for this day trip before we went! Ronda is certainly beautiful but it is much more touristy than I had anticipated.
Our guide on the bus to Ronda was informative, but for it being in English I had some questions during that were lost in translation and not understood. It wasn't a huge deal, just noted. Also, if you are wanting this trip because you are wanting the picturesque scene of the bridge and cliffs looking up from the base...you will not get it on this tour. The tour takes you to the top of the cliff and across the bridge.
The tour through the bull ring is really interesting and was one of the highlights. You will tour through the stables and into the ring, and lots of history on the sport that was very informative.
As for the wine tasting...if you like wine...the wines were TERRIBLE. You go to a winery and are there for about 15-20 minutes and there are barrels on the wall you go and fill yourself. It was so packed when we went through with other tour groups, people were shoving and cutting in line to get more wine. If you just have the goal to get tipsy you could certainly hold your nose and shoot some back, but if you're anticipating sipping a nice wine and enjoying good conversation with strangers and a nice view, this isn't it.
It was a decent price for getting a ride to Ronda and getting some history while we were staying in Seville for a few days. If I could do it again, I would have rented a car, driven myself and taken a tour once there, and then had the freedom to walk the trail to the base of the canyon and explore the city more on my own and to have stayed a night. One day/night there is certainly enough to see and do plenty.
