Day Trip To Zahara, Setenil And Ronda From Seville

Isana was an excellent guide & driver. She was friendly, enthusiastic & informative. The day was well paced, we had an hour in Zahara, an hour in Setenil & just over 2 hours in Ronda (as well as a castle stop on the way) The drive down to the gorge viewpoint in Ronda was a bonus. Good recommendations for things to do in Ronda. Thank you Isana, we had a great day. Would definitely recommend this trip.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such an amazing experience! A huge thank you to Isana, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was so professional, friendly and helpful, explaining everything clearly and helping us make the best decisions throughout the trip. She’s also an excellent driver, which made the whole experience even better! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we enjoyed every single moment. Definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. Worth every penny! ❤️

Excellent experience with our English-speaking guide, Ewan (as in Ewan McGregor). He went out of his way to share personal experiences and take us to a hidden but spectacular view of Ronda. Highly recommended local company with a small group advantage.

Isana was an amazing guide; very friendly, helpful full of knowledge not only of the geography but also of the history of the region. I highly recommend taking this tour if you are travelling through Sevilla.

This was truly an amazing day trip. Our driver Juan was excellent in his driving skills and so personable. The day was spent seeing such memorable areas of Spain. Rhonda was definitely the highlight of the day though we loved it all. I would do this trip again!!

An absolutely wonderful day trip through some of Andalusia’s most picturesque gems! Ronda, with its breathtaking gorge and iconic bridge, Zahara with its charming whitewashed houses and stunning mountain scenery, and Setenil, famous for its unique houses built into the rocks, each offered something special. A perfect combination of spectacular landscapes, history and authentic Andalusian charm. The tour guide Javier was punctual, friendly and knowlegable. Highly recommended!

It was a fantastic experience, a day to remember. There were 3 other people in our group & Javier made sure to include everyone. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and charismatic. We will not hesitate in recommending this trip to our family & friends. My husband & I sat in the back of the mini-van which was comfortable and Javier was a very competent driver, talking about all the interesting sights along the way. The places we stopped off at were stunning and we felt that we had the perfect amount of time in each to properly explore.

It was a very rewarding experience, a small group, beautifull people and fantastic places. And Javier, our driver, very professional and friendly.

Best ever trip. The guide was so knowledgeable and funny. Answered all My Questions about history and culture and geogray

This was a 10/10 experience from pick-up to drop-off. Our guide, Ewan, was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the trip. He communicated effectively, guided us briefly through each town but also gave us enough time to explore on our own. It was really cool to visit the home of a local in Setenil and taste his homemade wine. It’s a long day but totally worth it. Being in a small group of 8 people also was a plus and is highly compatible for a solo traveler. The towns were gorgeous and full of history and life. I would absolutely recommend this day trip!

Our guide Ewan was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. His recommendations for where to eat and to go to get good photos were spot on. His use of WhatsApp to send photos and reminders of things we had seen were great and maps for meeting points were very helpful. You will be lucky if you get him as a guide. I booked this Ronda trip with Tickets for You because it included the town of Setenil de las Bodegas. Other companies went to a different white town. I was particularly interested to see Setenil because it has been built into the cliffs. It is very impressive. The visit starts with Zahara de la Sierra, a lovely white town with spectacular views. Worth a visit even though there aren’t any famous monuments there. We had a light breakfast in a cafe there and I was surprised to be able to get gluten free toast. I usually just end up with a coffee and no food. The next stop was Setenil de las Bodegas. Wow! Definitely a place not to miss and the trip to a tiny cave house that Ewan knows was brilliant! 1€ for the visit and a selection of nibbles for you to help yourself to as you go in. We had a free taster of the owner’s homemade wine but apparently you will be charged 50c from now on for the wine (it is worth tasting). The to Ronda, Ewan took us to a viewpoint under the famous bridge there, and stopped for us to take photos. Then into the old town for a tour. We took his advice and went to the roof terrace bar of the hotel across the road from the bullring. (Don’t buy coffee it was dreadful, pick something else to drink)! From there we were able to get photos of the bullring without paying the entrance fee and contributing to the barbaric custom.

The white villages ( Zahara, Setenil and Ronda) are so bonitos. Javier from Tickets4U, was excellent as our guide and driver, he's very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humour.

It is an incredible experience, you go to places that can’t be repeated somewhere else. The driving and friendly manner of Juanfran made it even better. If you like old cities, weird construction under rocks and breathtaking scenery, this is the tour to take.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and the expert guiding/driving of Ewan. He looked after us so well and gave us all the information we needed for a sensational time in these very, very beautiful places. It was an exceptional day that we will always remember. 10/10

Ewan was a fantastic guide. His knowledge and pleasant personality made our trip special.

The three villages were unique in their own way. All white villages, Zahara was a small village with great views. Sentinel had many of their homes built into the caves. Ronda was much bigger in size but quaint, with it's own charm. Ewan was our guide and we couldn't have had a better one. Very informative, pleasant, and willing to adapt to our needs.

We had a great trip, just 8 of us and Ewan the tour guide in a small van which meant we could get to places we wouldn't have been able to in a coach. Ewan was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, we all got on well with him. He really helped us to see all the important sights and gave us all the info we needed, including tips on places to eat.

We had the best tour! Nacho was so fun and really made our trip exceptional! Ronda was my favorite but every town was great. I would highly recommend this tour!

We had the best tour and Nacho our guide was so fun!! He was knowledgeable and considerate and spoke great English! The tour was spectacular and was one of our favorites Ronda is BEAUTIFUL! And we had to detour to another town due to hollywood movie being filmed. Which ended up having a festival! It was wonderful!! ❤️

There was no air conditioning in the van and it was hot. We were 4 in are family and they separated us to two different van. That was unexceptable. I don’t recommend this tour

Make sure you sit up front as the back of the minibus is a rough ride and make sure the towns you're visiting are open Zahara was shut for a film shoot and me and my 75 year old Mum were left for an hour in the rain.

We visited beautiful places and had a very good tour guide, but our group of 4 was separated between 2 different vehicles and we were not together while we were on the road, since our reservations were made separately. This tour covers a lot of ground and you should be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Our guide (Juanfran) was very kind, attentive, and geuinely helpful throughout the tour. He comminucated really well and made the whole experience more enjoyable. I truly appreciated his friendly attitude and support. Highly recomended :)

We had a wonderful day with our guide Ewan, who had Spanish & English speaking tourists and he did a great job of giving us all relevant information on the tour. It would have been difficult for him as he didn't get much of a break from speaking!! Instead of going to Zahara, we went to Grazalema, due to a Netlix show being filmed in Zahara. But t worked out great because they had a festival on in the small village, which was great. Ronda & Sentinel didn't disappoint either. A great your & a great guide. Thanks Ewan.

It’s a great trip, and one you may not do by yourself if you aren’t game to rent a car and drive those switchback mountain roads. Our guide (Xavi) was kind and accommodating, and the time was apportioned really well. He had a really good sense of when other tourist groups would arrive too, so tried to time our visits around that so we had moments of quiet (to the best of his ability). Unexpectedly one of the cities (Zahara) was closed entirely because a film is shooting there — no fault of the tour’s — but Xavi ensured we saw an entire other town and stopped at several beautiful vistas. I didn’t feel like I missed a thing and, frankly, felt like I got more than anticipated. Worthwhile unless you are planning to do the drive yourself, but be forewarned those roads are windy and narrow! It was nice to have someone else at the wheel. Ronda in particular is heavily touristic but the bridge and the surrounding drive to and from are well worth the price of admission.

I enjoyed the views if mountains and streams below. The guide was very friendly and answered all questions

Never made it. Cab driver never showed up so we were unable to get to our pick up point. Too bad we couldn’t be picked up at our hotel. Another couple we were talking to were being picked up by their tour rep.

Pretty dissapointed with everything, you are actually paying for a driver and not a guide. To be clear this is not a guided tour at all! Driver speaks poor English and he prepared AI voice agent to tell us a few sentences about each place. It is too expensive for only getting a driver, you have 45 minutes in Zahara (this can even be avoided), 1 hour in Setenil and only 2 hours in Ronda, which clearly wasn't enough (if Zahara is 45 minutes, then I don't understand why Ronda is only 2 hours when it is a lot bigger) and you are on your own running around and not knowing what to see as we didn't prepare. I gave 2 stars because driver was really kind but with poor English and it has to be clearly written somewhere that this is not a guided tour, everything is a bit misleading.

Isana Was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide. She was great!!! We learned so much about the beautiful cities and their history. It was wonderful.!

Our 5 star service started the day before with our awesome tour guide/ driver Ewan contacting us and in order for us to have our hotel pre paid breakfast unexpectedly offered to collect us from our hotel. Throughout our day tour Ewan demonstrated and shared his extensive historical knowledge in an easy going pace which he delivered using an advanced level of English . We were delighted by his good sense of humor and interest in our country of origin. Ewan was “simply the best” and provided us with an unforgettable experience which would suit a family, couple like us or a solo traveler. Maryanne & Peter Sept 2026

Our guided tour to Ronda and the white villages was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. The scenery was breathtaking, from the dramatic Puente Nuevo over the gorge to the charming whitewashed streets of the villages along the way. What truly made the day special was our guide, Isana. She was incredibly helpful from start to finish, answering every question, sharing fascinating stories about the history and culture of the region, and making sure everyone felt looked after. Her energy was fantastic. She kept the whole group engaged and smiling all day, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does. If you're thinking about visiting Ronda and the white villages, we can't recommend this tour (and Isana!) Highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well paced tour and Ewan was an amazing and thoughtful guide. Enjoyed the history of the places we visited. Highly recommend this tour! Had the best time.

We had a wonderful trip to Ronda along with two smaller ‘white cities’. Our tour guide Ewan was excellent. Ewan was very knowledgeable, very funny and a great person to spend the day with. If you take the Ronda tour (or any other tour) ask for Ewan.

Our guide, Ewan, was fantastic! He made the whole experience that much better. It was a full day tour and he was knowledgeable and fun to be around.

We had fun. Everyone was so friendly. Nacho was so funny. We really enjoyed the beautiful towns. Everything was great.

We didn’t have a guide (Which is the point of a tour) just a driver who was completely inappropriate. He kept saying vulgar and sexist comments about women, his wife and sex. The most uncomfortable and unprofessional experience I’ve ever had. I will not be using viator suggestions again.

The experience was fantastic. Well worth the cost of a ticket. The guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. His sense of humor and willingness to go out of his way to make sure our time with him was enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

We had the best day with Ewan. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The sites were beautiful and Ewan’s sense of humor kept us laughing all day. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Spain.

We didn't start the day trip, due to vehicle breakdown before start of the trip, and no more transport available. Offer to do it on other days unfortunately we leaving Sevilla. At the back end VIATOR acknowledge the issued and refund within 3-5 days.

Nacho was an amazing guide. His knowledge of Spanish history is impressive & he made the day really fun. Each stop was interesting but Ronda was the highlight. Increíble!

Fantastic tour. Guides were great. Gave excellent commentary and directions. The places visited were beautiful. Perfect amount of time.

The rip was amazing, the ,our guide was very nice to all of us and professional.

Driver was very helpful and changed the order of the day to avoid the heat. Worth the trip. A little guidance and then on our own to see and do as we please.

Our driver & guid Ewan is patient and knowledgeable

This was such a fun and informative day! Seeing these smaller villages outside of Sevilla was wonderful, beautiful and a must! The van was clean and cool, Isana was knowledgeable, kind and a great photographer for our group!

Ewan was excellent and I would definitely refer him to my family/friends. He gave enough time and space for our trip to Zahara, Ronda and Setenil. Thanks Ewan.

Nacho was a great guide. He’s passionate about history, and even more so about Seville and its place in history. He gave us do much information, while also being down-to-earth and kind. We had an amazing experience at all three sites. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend this tour - a small operator which made it personal. Our tour guide/driver Isana, was exuberant in the delivery of her knowledge, whether it be cultural, religious, economic or historical - she was extremely informative which made this trip perfect. Thankyou.

Isana was a fantastic guide. She knew her history, was very friendly and accommodating, she was funny and made the trip fun to be on.
