This was a wonderful tour. Cheska shared so much history. Don’t miss seeing these beautiful gems. It was awonderful day.
We had a great day with Chesko. He contacted us the night before the tour to ensure we had all the information we needed, including a photo of himself and our meeting place. The small towns we visited were beautiful and with only 6 people in our tour group it made the tour personal. Chesko provided excellent commentary throughout the tour. Would highly recommend this tour.
Fab! I loved everything about this day trip! It was money well spent. Nerja was a wonderful surprise, Frigiliana is a lovely white village and the ghost village has a great history.
Some walking. But amazing views Great lunch at Casino Restaurant in Frigliana with breathtaking views. It was heaven.
Beautiful villages, hidden gems, and a wonderful experience overall. Emilio was knowledgeable, energetic, and made the tour a lot of fun!
Fantastic tour! Chesco and Maria José, our guides, were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was a really hot day, so I was worried about all the walking up the many steps and hills, but they made everything easy and manageable. Highly recommend this tour. The pueblo and villages were stunningly beautiful and the guides shared a ton of interesting information. Thank you, Chesco and Maria José!!!
A very interesting, informative and well organised and managed day. A special thanks to Manu, our guide and driver. He provided very personalised insight, and thoughtfully guided the day and experiences. Very comfortable and safe transportation.
Great tour. Very knowledgeable guide. He took his time with us, and we also had a Spanish speaking group with our tour as well.
Great experience of caves of Nerja Used the audio guide on our phones so very good value . People should know that there are alot of stairs to climb . We did Frigiliania on our own and took the little train around the town once we were there and then had a great lunch
It was a really nice day with our tour guide. Learned a lot about the area
Wonderful tour of Nerja and Frigiliana with 2 very knowledgeable tour guides. Great recommendations for lunch as well. Would have preferred more time in Frigiliana and skipped the last stop.
Enjoyable day exploring different towns that would otherwise be difficult to get to on your own. Small group was nice. Also great to be out of Malaga.
My husband and I took the Travel Factory tour to Nerja, Frigiliana and El Acebuchal. All communications before and during the tour were prompt and seamless. Our guide, Manu, went above and beyond to accommodate our mobility limitations, and we enjoyed his company. He was knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. He took us to beautiful places and gave us a great experience.
This has been one of the finest tours we have taken. We have traveled quite exhaustively in Europe in the past and this trip, to a couple of lesser known places clearly stands out. Both Nerja and Frigiliana are a treat to the senses combining hills and sea facing each other; rich in landscape, topography, landfilled with tense history and a literary and artistic culture few places in the world can match. The experience was further catapulted by Emilio, our travel consultant. He is knowledgable in many areas, within and without the geographical domain of these tours, caring, confident and an excellent driver. You could hand yourself over to his good care, sit back and enjoy the tours.
Emilio was a great host, friendly and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the 3 towns, particularly the lost village and its history.
Great small group experience. Our guide Manu was amazing from start to finish. Definitely a must do tour if you are in the Malaga area of Spain.
Tour guide Manu is fabulous ! He is caring ,passionate with his work , and knowledgeable about tourist spots.
Our guide Emilio was fantastic The best tour guide we’ve had He made our trip a wonderful experience to cherish He was so knowledgeable and helpful He understood our group needs and delivered I highly recommend this tour with Emilio
Emilio is passionate, skilled, and so deeply knowledgeable not only about the content of his tours, but about people, the world, music, nature, and more. The small group setting makes for an intimate and educational tour, with lots of laughs and stories only a well versed guide could provide. There was a great mix of touring, free time, resting, etc. I’ll be recommending to any friend of mine visiting.
Three distinct and beautiful sites perched on the top of mountains, as well as deep in the valley of the mountains. And historical in the true sense of the word. The streets are narrow in Nerja and it located on a hillside that is hundreds of meters above the ground. Oddly enough, cars are allowed to pass on the streets, making the walk slightly more dangerous. And, many sections are steep! The houses are all painted brilliant white giving some relief from the heat. There are plenty of spots to stop and take a photo. Frigiliana is also located on a steep hillside. Again, many old whitewashed buildings as well as Churches and businesses that have existed for centuries. As you climb, you pass many alleyways that lead seemingly to nowhere. The cultural influences are Christian, Jewish, and Arabic. What is essential is a guide that can lead you to the hidden gems, and has a superb knowledge of the region. Our group had that in Emilio who works with Travel Factory Andalusia. He spent a considerable amount of time in each town regaling us with stories, and introducing us to the unique features that would have been lost on us had we simply wandered around on our own. He was a super individual that projected intellect and knowledge. He was personable, friendly, and made sure that every person had the attention that they required to know the towns as they should. The gem was the trip to Cómpeta which was a town that had a sad and sordid history of death and resistance during the early twentieth, but was resurrected as a symbol of hope, tenacity and survival. Again, Emilio was the key to gaining an understanding of the history and culture of that town. If you are looking to tour the Andalusian region, look no further than Travel factory Andalusia and the folks that work there. Comfortable vehicles, excellent conversation, and a true connection to the past history of the region.
This was truly an interesting and informative day tour. Our guide Emilio was charming , passionate and so attentive to our needs. He pointed out all the main characteristics of these charming towns . Highly recommend you tour with Emilio .
Excellent tour. Wealth of information and fantastic tour guide. Well prepared and well organized. Highly recommend this tour. Nerja was breathtaking.
Emilio, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about every detail of each city and introduced it with great wit and humor. The cities are true gems and the pics on the app don’t do them justice. I had no idea how breathtaking this day would be. Full of surprises that I don’t want to spoil but definitely recommend! Bonus points for Emilio helping my 79 year old mother up every hill and down every step. Overall the best!
We had an outstanding guide, Emilio (with Travel Factory Andalucía). His knowledge was incredible and he made the already beautiful day even better! The locations were so amazing to see. We very much recommend this tour!
Our guide Emilio was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed his stories and explanations of the geography and history. Communication was clear all day long, we always knew the itinerary, meeting points after free time, etc. We had a very enjoyable day and learned a lot! The sights were beautiful and we had ample time to enjoy them. Everyone in our small tour group had a great experience!
A full day of beautiful places and good food. Manu was a gracious host and was very accommodating to all guests. I highly recommend this trip.
We traveled with Emilio. He is very kind, fun and super knowledgeable about Spain, history! We felt like we driving around wit our friend! We definitely recommend Emilio and this company for traveling! Looking forward for more trips and new experiences! Thank you Emilio!
Excellent trip to three beautiful sites. Manuel is a tremendous guide. Very highly recommended. Very knowledgeable and personable and we met some more very nice people from Spain and Canada.
This was a really nice trip! We really enjoyed the tour. It was a light tour without much walking, but it wss nicely paced and the tour guide was knowledgeable.
Manu (Manuel) was a awesome, informative guide. He provided just enough information and allowed me to roam around, take pictures and get coffee. He was very professional and had lots of helpful information about the history of Spain, culture and influences. This has been my BEST TOUR so far in Malaga. He felt like soul family and being with your family for the day. It was an awesome experience and don't hesitate to book the tour with him. He is very open to different personality types and won't constantly talk. He treated all of the guests with love and respect.
Travel Factory Andalucia promised and delivered a wonderful day tour for us. Timely departure and return bookended a history filled tour day of visiting three lovely towns outside of Malaga. Our guide, Manuel, knows all the details and is somewhat of a local legend. Zero complaints on a wonderful day at a reasonable cost.
Highly recommend this tour and company. The tour visited three beautiful and incredibly different locations, and the small group allowed plenty of time to explore and customize the experience. Emilio was an exceptional tour guide - knowledgeable, thorough, and focused on each visitor's experience. I couldn't imagine a better visit to these beautiful parts of Spain.
The tour was great. Manu was a wonderful guide, quite knowledgable. The three pueblos we visited were quite lovely. It was especially nice to be able to visit the lost village of El Acebuchal. Time spent in each city was perfect. Would totally recommend this.
Emilio was an excellent guide friendly knowledgeable professional and experienced. The places we viewed were beautiful. Our guide made it all come alive with detailed history. Thank you for a great day
Emilio was outstanding and we enjoyed the tour very much. There was plenty of time to learn the history about the towns and walk around and enjoy the culture and food. I would highly recommend.
This was a fantastic tour and a highlight for our stay in Malaga. Nerja and Frigiliana areas are spectacular places to visit. The guide, Emilio, was fabulous and the vehicle was very comfortable.
Sooo bonito.. ...la playa en nerja.......las montañas en frigiliana.....emilio is most Amazing guia.....gracias....y cebuchel....was a lovely forgotten city....the best tour ever
This tour was great! The beaches of Nerja were beautiful. Frigiliana was so pretty. Acebuchal was such a hidden gem. I am so glad I chose this tour. The main guide, Manu, was so kind, knowledgeable, flexible. Made for a great day not feeling rushed. The guide in Frigiliana was also very knowledgeable and perfectly paced the tour. Wonderful!
10/10 experience - The white villages at their best with a wonderful guide and no need to care about anything. Manu is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, he answered all of our questions, shared various insights and stories and showed us the best of the area, including hidden gems known only to the locals. A must go while in Malaga! Manu easily switched between English and Spanish during the tour, as our group was mixed, talked the whole day long... Respect! P.S.: Being 19 weeks pregnant, I appreciated the relaxed pace of the tour as well as the extra care from the guide :) Thank you!
The white villages of Nerja, Frigiliana, and El Acebuchal were amazing. Such beautiful places that have kept their charm throughout ages. Emilio is an excellent guide (and driver). He was very informative, personable and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour. It is a great day trip if you are in Malaga.
I absolutely loved this trip. The views were breathtaking and Nerja and Frigiliana are divine. But the best was El Acebuchal, what an amazing place and the history. Had a lovely lunch there with the rest of our small group. Our guide Juan was just Juanderful,very knowledgeable and entertaining. Best day ever.
This small-group tour to Nerja, Frigiliana and Acebuchal is absolutely fabulous. One of the best tours in Spain that I have experienced. Our guide, Emilio, was extremely knowledgeable, personable and courteous. His presentation of the historical context and local legends of these beautiful towns was thorough and enjoyable. The tour is highly recommended.
Group was nice and small . Tour was well organised. Guide was friendly informative and enthusiastic.
Great trip. Our driver/guide Manu, was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy going. Highly recommend this tour. Many thanks!
Our guide was patient and friendly. I think all of us had a good time with his company. All of the villages do have a lot to offer and I wish we could have spent even more time in each of them.
Four of us went on this small group trip and we all loved it. Not only were the places we visited really beautiful but Emilio brought their history, culture and communities to life with his knowledge. He was kind, relaxed, comfortable with his subject and made the day very special for us. We'd recommend to everyone and hope to use him again in future.
Our tour director Juan made the trip. Explained everything. Made the whole tour very memorable. Thanks again Juan
Juan it's such a nice person ,spending a day with him was a pleasure. Great day , beautiful memories. Highly recommend
Firstly , I have to say that this was exceptional value for money at £70 pp) for three venues , two guides and transport for 9 tourists! Juan, the main guide and driver, was excellent. A very warm and passionate guide. Nerja was very pleasant with the vistas out to sea and the mountains behind being its main asset. An hour was plenty here but I do think that a trip to the caves would have added greatly to this excursion and really should be considered. Frigiliana was a typical white village ( very much like Mijas) , I had my best meal of my whole holiday here. The walking is a little tiresome here as it's mainly uphill! But still a lovely place to visit with superb views down from the mountain! Our last rip was to the 'lost village' which took us right up this mountain and a very perilous track! it was very interesting but on reflection maybe , for me, the caves would have had more attraction. We arrived back at 7pm Which I consider to be great VFM. This tour is highly recommended. G
