Oliver was the best tour guide we’ve ever had!! He was very knowledgeable and engaging and full of local history. I highly recommend him if you want to explore like a local. He also spoke very good English. We had a list of sights we wanted to see, and he checked off every item & added several more!! He booked us a lunch reservation overlooking the breathtaking gorge, the most spectacular viewpoint in Ronda! We really appreciated how flexible and patient he was with our small group. Having Oliver as our guide made our trip to Ronda truly extra special. He genuinely cared about giving us an authentic experience and deserved every star!!! Highly recommend this tour!!

Hey! Had a great experience with family last year! I return this year and brought my mother! Oliver was professional, kind and thoughtful! Pleasure to spend the day with! Thanks from Newfoundland Canada!
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.
We had 2 wonderful days with Peter and Antonio took us to great places. Both very kind ,nice and very nologable we had an amazing time
Oliver, the driver guide, was knowledgeable, personally courteous and professional. His mbz was clean and he is an excellent driver. The scenery enroute was great, and Ronda is a must see.
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.
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.
Great experience seeing the city of Ronda and shopping. Oliver provided good back ground information and was just pleasant to talk with.
Our guide Oliver was punctual, fun and very knowledgeable. He was able to build a tour based on what we're interested in seeing. April was not very crowded, sunny and warm.
A very doable way to see Ronda on a day trip from the Malaga Port. Oliver was outstanding as a guide, punctual, thoughtful, ensuring our experience was worthwhile. Glad we did it.
Oliver was a great tour guide; knowledgeable and very personable. Ronda is a scenic town, with lots to see. Old Town has great restaurants and lots of shopping.
Overall a wonderful experience!! On our drive over from Malaga we had a great conversation with Thomas about Malaga and Ronda spanning food, sports, history, etc. In Ronda we toured the city with Antonio who was so knowledgeable and passionate. Thomas gave us great recommendations for food and coffee. Highly recommend booking this tour!!
Oliver was a great guide. The day trip to Ronda was a great way to see one of the white villages. We were on a cruise. He met us at the port and made sure that we were back in plenty of time. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly
Super knowledgeable guide who was extremely helpful and friendly. Really knew his way around Ronda. Was great with photo locations and navigating through crowded areas for the best experience.
Rhonda is a beautiful city full of charm and history. Thomas, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and included Antonio for the walking part of the tour. Antonio’s ability to explain the history of the city and provided an in depth history of bull fighting in the first bull fighting ring in all of Spain. He brought the matadors to life with his stories of their fights and achievements. Thomas took us to places that were not on the tour but not to be missed. Thomas even found a gluten free bakery that was filled with delicious gluten free pastries and breads to make sure I had enough sweets for the rest of our trip. Great experience with a terrific tour guide
We had a very memorable day in Ronda, thanks to our tour guide Oliver who has such a wealth of knowledge, he’s like a walking encyclopedia 😀 He arrived to pick us up promptly, made sure we were comfortable during our ride to and from Ronda and took care of everything we needed during the tour. Ronda has plenty of historical and cultural curiosities and Oliver made sure he covered every single one. This is our first private trip and a bit more pricey than we’re used to but Oliver made it all worthwhile.
Thomas was such a wonderful tour guide and interesting to talk to. He made the entire experience special; including taking us on a specific drive back to the national park to see a view of the sea and Morocco. Would definitely use them again.
Such a beautiful and memorable day ! The surroundings of Ronda were appropriately matched by the support and confidence Peter provided us. This was only improved upon by our knowledgeable and personable guide Anthony. Thank you for such a great experience!
Oliver is a great guide and was lovely time moving at the pace we wanted. Lunch recommendation was fabulous and overall an incredible tour.
Oliver was the best! He treated us like family 😊. He was super knowledgeable and gave us such a well rounded rich experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to visit Ronda. It was a long day but he made it speed by with his good humor and story telling.
Our entire time in Spain was one of beauty and memorable lifetime experiences. Every excursion was lead by dedicated and knowledgeable guides...But, our day in Ronda with Oliver was beyond exemplary. From the pick up to the drop off our day was filled with Oliver's knowledge of his country, his professionalism and his kindness. We started out with a stop at a local cafe for coffee, hot chocolate and churros. We saw the oldest bull ring in the world, the old versus new city and the absolutely gorgeous overlooks. Oliver arranged a prime table at Restaurant Albacara. Oh my, the view and the food alone would have made our day complete! Our day in Ronda with Oliver will forever be a very special moment in time.
Chose the tour as the guide picked us up from our hotel rather than a driver and a guide only in Ronda. This was a good choice as our guide Oliver was friendly and knowledgeable knowing the best places for coffee and lunch. The tour was taken at the pace we wanted and everyone enjoyed the experience
Oliver was an excellent guide, every friendly and informative. We enjoyed his company. Highly recommend his services.
Oliver was the best! Was a delight to speak with and was very informative throughout the trip. He went out of his, even buying us umbrellas to deal with the rain. Definitely recommend.
Oliver was our guide and he was great! We were a little nervous about getting back to our ship in time so Oliver picked us up an hour earlier. He took us to all the places listed and since we got such an early start, we stopped at a local place for churros and hot chocolate. Neither my wife or I wanted tome to shop so he took us to some places that were not listed in the tour description. We had a wonderful day and made it back in plenty of time. would recommend the tour and tour guide.
This is a wonderful excursion made even better by Peter and Antonio. Ronda itself is very unique and beautiful, and the history is amazing. Peter is super, and took care of making sure that our entire day was perfect. Antonio is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Ronda and explained everything in detail. The restaurant that Peter recommended for lunch had a stunning view and delicious food. During our free time we took pictures at the spot that Antonio recommended. It all made for a fabulous day!
Oliver was terrific, great guide, safe driver, snd extremely courteous. He was 5 star guide, the best. Dr. And Mrs. William Ainslie
We toured La Melonera winery in Ronda and ate a beautiful restaurant overlooking a gorge. Highly recommend both places! Peter was an excellent tour guide and we appreciated him taking care of us from start to finish.
Oliver, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He was very friendly and a great conversationalist.
A great day. The guide was mega nice : friendly. smooth driver, excellent knowledge of spanish history and architecture, ready to answer all our needs and questions. A lovely journey.
A perfect day... Oliver, our guide, apart from being a smooth driver, was a very agreable person to travel with. He had a very good knowledge of the spanish history and culture and he guided us through Ronda with plenty of historical and architectural explanations on what we were seeing. All in all, a very pleasant journey. A perfect score ! :-)
We enjoyed our private tour to Ronda with Oliver very much! If you are short on number of days in Malaga, we would recommend combining a trip to Caminito del Rey (morning) with a trip to Ronda (afternoon/late lunch) since both take you in the same direction outside of the city and you will avoid backtracking. We separated these excursions into two days, which was fine with us, as we were in no hurry; however, had we combined el Caminito with seeing Ronda, we could have put the extra day to good use exploring elsewhere in Andalusia.
Amazing day trip. We were picked up by our guide Oliver from Viator Tours, who was very prompt & had contacted us the day before to confirm. Oliver is a fabulous, friendly & very knowledgeable guide. We saw all the best that's to be seen in Ronda, had coffee overlooking the Bullring & a lovely lunch in a recommended restaurant with views of the New Bridge. After walking around the beautiful town & sights, Oliver then took us down into the valley for spectacular views of New Bridge. He even took photos of us & sent me a video taken from his drone, of the whole area! I can't rate this tour, town, scenery & Company/Guide highly enough !! Absolutely fantastic !!!
Absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Oliver was so lovely, very friendly & knowledgeable. Ronda is a beautiful village, very picturesque. The bridge is stunning. To walk over it then also go to the bottom & look at the full height of it was fabulous. We loved our tour & would definitely recommend it.
We initially booked the Ronda Private Day Trip from Málaga, but sadly, due to road closures and severe flooding, we were unable to make it to Ronda. However, thanks to our tour guide Oliver's flexibility and patience, we had a very nice day exploring Mijas, Fuengirola, and Málaga. In fact, he recommended lunch at a restaurant in Fuengirola that ended up being perhaps the best meal we had during our time in Málaga. Oliver was knowledgeable and kind, and he also took some great pictures for us. Also, Peter, with whom I communicated about the logistics of the tour, was very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. I highly recommend Costa Excursions.
Ronda is a must when visiting the white villages of Andalucía! Absolutely stunning views and incredible history! We had a fabulous time with Oliver and he made our day memorable and perfect from arranging a lovely lunch with a view to educating us about the history and culture in the area. A truly fabulous day!
Our driver and tour guide, Oliver, made our trip to Ronda relaxing and very interesting at the same time. He met us right at our Airbnb. He recommended and took us to a restaurant and a roof top terrace with incredible views. He made every effort to make sure we were as comfortable as possible every step of the way. It was one of our best tour experiences. At the end of the tour he brought us to a peak in Malaga with a panoramic view.
The excursion was excellent. Our tour guide Oliver went above and beyond to take care of me and my family. We were 5… 4 Spanish speaking and 1 English speaking person, and he gave personal attention to us all providing the tour in Spanish and English! As beautiful as Ronda is, Oliver made it even more special.
Oliver did a fantastic job in telling us about the history of Ronda and was very kind. He was just the best!
Oliver was a fantastic guide! The trip was wonderful and we learned so much about the Ronda area. He was so kind and understanding of our needs and concerns throughout the whole trip!
I thought the tour was thorough, insightful, and very informative. Our tour guide, Oliver did a fantastic job. He has excellent knowledge of the areas we covered and a great personality! I would recommend him to anyone!
What a fabulous day! From the moment Oliver, our guide, arrived at our Malaga hotel to the drop off at the end of the day, Oliver was knowledgeable, funny, engaging and enthusiastic. He answered our questions, with patience and humor. Oliver knew Ronda’s ins and outs. Taking us to less crowded spots with magnificent vistas of the sights , and recommending a fantastic spot for lunch. He went above and beyond through out the day. Make sure to request Oliver if Ronda is on your itinerary!
The best part of the trip was Oliver! Best guide ever! So much knowlege, but also aware enough to also include fun, humor and being genuinely interested in our lives! I can truly say Oliver was a friend by days end.
Oliver was so kind and good to us. He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. By the end of the day, we truly considered him a new friend.
We had an exceptional private trip to Ronda with our driver, Peter. He was incredibly prompt, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Peter not only made reservations for lunch at the best spot to view the iconic bridge but also arranged a fantastic guided tour of the city. His expertise and attention to detail made our trip seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Tomas and Antonio were outstanding. We were picked up on time. They were very nice. Antonio was extremely knowledgeable about all things Ronda and beyond, from geography, history and even great jokes! This is by far the best tour I had. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended for everyone!
Our day trip from Only YOU Hotel to Rhonda with Costa Excursions was outstanding. Peter picked us up at our hotel on time and drove us to Rhonda. He provided interesting information and answered many questions we had about Spain during the approximate 90 minute drive. Once in Rhonda, he walked us to the Tourism Office and introduced us to Antonio, an “”official” or “licensed” guide. During the drive to Rhonda, Peter suggested a restaurant with an incredible view of the landmark Puente Nuevo bridge, and made us a reservation to coordinate with the end of the two tour with Antonio. Antonio is a very intelligent and experienced guide with a wonderful sense of humor. His English was very good and understandable. We had two hours after the tour for lunch and shopping. Peter then drove us back to our Malaga hotel in his very comfortable sedan and answered more questions about Spain and the local area. The entire day was first class. We loved it!!!
Our driver picked us up promptly and gave us a nice overview of the day. He also recommended a marvelous place for lunch that had breathtaking views if the New Bridge and gorge. Our guide was terrific. We got a great look at the bull ring, the new bridge, the old town and learned so much about the history of the area. We loved our experience
I can't say enough nice things about Oliver. We very much enjoyed our tour of Ronda. He was knowledgeable and very accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed our conversations with him about Ronda, life in Spain and Andalucia. He recommended a terrific restaurant with a view for lunch, we never felt rushed and enjoyed his explanations as we toured the city and sites. We look forward to doing more tours with your company and particularly Oliver in the future!
Thomas picked up our group of four in Malaga and drove us to Ronda. The tour was full of the history of the area along with history of places and things to and from Malaga. Ronda is lovely and easy to navigate especially with our guides. Interesting sights, plazas, homes, buildings were pointed out and all combined to make a great visit to this town. We had lunch overlooking the arches and gorge. After some free time Thomas drove us to the bottom of the gorge for more spectacular views. This tour has it all and we highly recommend visiting this part of Spain!
