A wonderful day through the Spanish countryside to explore the White Villages - plus an authentic Olive Mill - and Ronda. We chose to stay overnight in Ronda and the Tour Company of Naturanda made all of the arrangements for us. Our group leader walked us to a beautiful hotel just around the corner from the famous bridge. Our room was lovely and the breakfast the next morning - facing out to the famous bridge!! - was plentiful and delicious! The staff at the hotel were friendly and answered any questions we had about where to go in Ronda the next day. We explored areas of Ronda that the tours don't take you to. The Old Town east of the bridge is enchanting - we wandered along the wall and over the Old Bridge with vistas over Ronda proper and the countryside. The narrow streets and squares with a beautiful Church were so interesting! We even purchased some delicious cookies from a cloister of Nuns - make a selection, ring the buzzer, put your order in and pop your euros in a slot....wait a few minutes and the window opens with your order.... something we'll never forget!

Amazing trip, liked everything about the schedule, Zahra , the olive oil place and the lunch place all were so good, Ronda is a wow village! Last but least Manuela was a great guide, she was so knowledgeable, kind and caring. Big thanks to her ! Highly recommended if you would love to explore the nature of Andalusia
Wonderful experience, especially recommend overnight stay in Ronda to allow casual exploration after and before tourists arrive. So much appreciated our guide Catherine who was so diligent and caring.
Antonio the guide was talking way too much about stuff that wasn’t that interesting. He talked almost non stop during the 2 hour bus ride. Also, first two white villages were a bit boring and we spend too much time there. Ronda was beautiful, but we only had 1h45m to spend there, which was a bit short. Overall, not well organized in my opinion.
I usually don’t like guided tours and never join them, but I went on this one with my mom — and I absolutely loved it! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the places we visited but also about many other topics. He shared so much interesting information, even beyond the scope of the tour itself. He was also a really fun and witty person — a true Sevillian! He helped us understand not just the sights, but the culture and character of Seville itself. Thanks to him, I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of the experience. Highly recommended! Many thanks to Antonio Javier Caballos I can travel all the world with him CLARA ISIL AMANOEL PELLERANO
Our trip to the Pueblos Blancos (White Villages) was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Iván. We visited Zahara de la Sierra, Grazalema, and Ronda, and each village was more beautiful than the last. Ivan was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and nature of the region. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights. What really stood out was his perfect English. He explained everything so clearly and engagingly, making it easy for everyone in our group to understand and appreciate the tour. He was also very friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Andalusia, and if you're lucky enough to have Iván as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
Very nice and well organized trip. Stunning views, breathtaking landscape a bit of culture, tradistion and history of the region. Peace and quiet... Worth visiting
Although our annual trip to the Wis. Dells was good, our stay at the Blackhawk Motel was great! We absolutely love this small motel at the Dells. It is clean, quiet, friendly, and reasonable! The pools are clean and warm, the game room is always a hit, and the outdoor grilling area worked well for our patriotic theme family supper. We love Brad and his crew!
An amazing tour, beautiful towns. Juanra and Rafa were a fantastic team running the tour. They showed took us to places off the tourist trail taught us the history of the region.
Nieves was a wonderful, friendly humorous guide. She provided is with lots of information about places were visited and places we passed. That made the trip really enjoyable, along with the great beauty of Zahara, Grazalema and Ronda. The olive oil making place and lunch at the restaurant in Grazalema were also highlights.
The tour was amazing, visited so many beautiful villages. Nieves, our tour guide, was very helpful and friendly with us.
The tour was fine , but the guide, Lola, not so much. Few informations about the place we visited. First town.....just 20 minutes.....5 about the town and 15 for shoping. There was a beautiful castle there...but no visit. The second town....most of the time lunch. I prefered not to stay with the group and loose 1 our eating. Then was a short presentation of the town. In Ronda we received maps and " follow the route that i draw on the map" in 3 hours. Nothing else. English spoken by our guide......not so good and the informations seemed like google. I choosed the tour because of the villages that are in the mountains which you can view only if you have a car. In the conclusion, the tour is good for sightseeings.
It was a beatiful and interesting trip. We visited an olive grove, two white villages (Zahara y Grazalema) and we went to Ronda. The guide knew a lot about the cities we visited.
Comfortable bus, awesome guides, pick up and drop off exact on time. Very scenic route, so you are not bored. From point to point you are no more than 30-40 min in the bus, so you don't feel tired in the evenening. Tour is very balanced and interesting for different people.
Our understanding of this tour was it was a full 2 day experience being taken from Seville to Ronda via the white villages with experiences and tour activities on both days. This small group tour was suppose to have no more than 15 travelers as described in the description. The tour started off OK other than the fact that there were 2 groups of more than 15 travelers and the focus and preference of commentary was tailored to another language other than English. By the way, you pass a castle while driving and far in the distant you may miss it. Point of interests along the way were talked about in the other language then there were small bits in English, but I’m assuming in the most part we had already past what was been talked about so the English wasn’t even given. This was the first disheartening and frustration part of the first day of the tour. Once we arrived in Ronda we were taken to the hotel to check in, it was approximately 3 pm. From here it was explained to us that we'd walk around to the wine cellar in Ronda via the outlook and then we were to meet another group the next day at 5.30 pm to get the transferred back to Seville. So there was absolutely nothing planned for us to do the next day, so when the description says you'll have plenty of time to explore Ronda in your own time they mean the whole next day. Ronda's beautiful, but small. This is where we felt that this was not entirely within our expectations of the tour. Obviously from this point it would appear that the day so far was that we were tagged on to another 2 groups of 15 multilingual travelers who were only on a day trip to Ronda and we were to be left, on our own literally, for the next 19 hours to make up our own thing until the 5.30 pm pick up the next day to return to Seville. This was not expected nor explained in the information contained on the Viator and Tripadvisor websites. This is when we explained the situation to Estella, our guide for the day, I showed her the information I had from the booking. She then made a few calls to her office, she was absolutely marvelous. They then made arrangements for a guide to meet us the next day at 10 am to do the Wine cellar in Ronda. We were then on our own until 5.30 pm for the transfers back to Seville. For the next hour or so Estella showed us around the sites of Ronda as per the schedule, but only after we had pointed out the discrepancy. Great, we thought. The next day, Marta came to the hotel. She had no idea what we had been shown the previous day by Estella. So therefore, Marta took us for the same walk around Ronda showing us the same sights that Estella had the day before however with a lot more insight and detail given we had more time then from the previous day. Then just before noon we were taken to a winery within Ronda to experience a winery talk and tasting this was a great experience, this is where Marta said her goodbyes and left us to our own devices until 5.30 pm. The above experience and the day before was fine but lacked organisation, coordination and professionalism from the organising company. Basically we were tacked onto a day tour from the day before that’s it, far from what we believed was described on the website. However, I also need to point out, even though the experience left us uneasy and distressed around the lack of the so called 2 day tour, the staff of Naturanda Turismo Ambiental that we encountered over these 2 days were nothing but professional and did absolutely everything they could to assist us in this bad situation. First Esteela from the first day, Marta from our morning session on the second day and Flavio from the transfers back to Seville. I cannot speak highly enough of their attitude, they were fantastic. We requested an explanation from the organising company of what happened to this tour and why it seems extremely different to what was described? We were the only people on the overnight tour, so if the numbers didn’t meet the requirements why not contact us via the travel agent to discuss options rather than making us feel we were second rate paying customers. Even though this all worked out in the end is far from the point, we are really not happy with the arrangements and organisation of the company, this didn’t not leave us with a satisfied experience. The response from my email was as follows: Oct 22, 19:41 AEDT Dear Suzanne, Hope you are doing well. We have received the following feedback from our tour company: '' The tour operator advised-- We regret your bad experience. Our tour is usually bilingual, English and Spanish. We offer the accommodation for the night, with a visit to a winery during the day, and provided services. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. ''
Our guide Ms. Reyes and the driver were excellent. Gave us great recommendations on tapas and highlights. Very good balance of guided locations and personal interest locations. Thanks!!
We were pleasantly startled by the gorgeousness of this place. Words cannot describe it. But do stay long enough to explore the natural landscape as well as the town. One can stay for a short period of time, or walk and spend a few days walking everywhere. We also had a hotel room with a great view. People are pleasant. Food as all of it is in Spain, delicious.

Merce gave us very good historical guides on the way to Ronda, and although the group was large, she handled it very well. The return trip, the next day, was with Carmela, who contacted us beforehand to coordinate the return and was very kind.
Beautiful day full of discoveries and history. A big thank you to Antonio who despite his Karma did not allow us to avoid the rain, but whose culture, sympathy and tips made this day fantastic! Bravo.
Very interesting tour, both from an architectural and cultural point of view. Key points of the tour are the 3 stops in the Pueblos Blancos and the breathtaking view of the panorama from the window. The tour began with a stop at an oil mill where we tasted the oil and learned all about the extraction of this liquid gold. The journey then continued to a gem: Grazalema. Here we admired a breathtaking view, in addition to the usual white houses. Last stop was the city of Ronda, steeped in history and culture. To top it all off was the fantastic guide Rebeca, very prepared and patient, as well as an expert in really good restaurants to have lunch in. Thank you for a wonderful day. P.S. I would have liked to have stayed a little longer in Ronda.
Very little time on the sites that does not allow you to visit the areas Very friendly guide Hdndjdidkdbd dienta fever d d f f f d a f dhdhf f f t t g t a d g t t y k
Beautiful discovery of villages and Ronda Noys would always like to have more time but 11h between departure and return c is already good:) it is the principle of an excursion Very solid bus driver: thank you Antonio Very dynamic and attentive guide: thank you Driss (we even discovered a french music band thanks to him 😉)
The white villages are very picturesque and Ronda is a very charming city. It is worth staying two days to explore the historic sites and museums of the old town.
Very nice visit, in line with the program announced. The guide, Maria, accompanied us in two languages, in Spanish and English.
We went to white villages and Ronda, Excellent excursion, both the guide Juanra and Diego the driver gave us a nice day. I recommend it.
We had a very good day, despite the rainy day we caught. The very friendly and friendly diego guide, made us have a good day despite the inclement weather
Thanks to Antonio’s Interpretation, alias the Yeye, it became very entertaining and interesting the white villages and Ronda, I liked the landscapes of everything, along with the animals that were beautiful, the food of Grazalema is to repeat. Next time I will go with my boyfriend because it is worth meeting the people of the villages, enjoy the fresh air, a moment of peace and new knowledge with this wonderful Tour
It was very nice the ride thank you very much Thanks to Antonio for explaining us very well about the whole tour I loved sevilla would come back again
The tour is super cute, To the guide Diego I give 5 stars Driver Jan is a Pro behind the wheel. The scenery is breathtaking.
Ronda is unique! for those who love nature the Tajo is unforgettable. It was great to be able to stay in the evening. HOTEL ANCIPO excellent . Naturanda is really reliable. Tour Guide ALBERTO is a true Pro, as well as a kind and helpful person. 2 days trip highly recommended. In one day you see it.... in 2 days you live it.
I went with Antonio and Joaquín. Both excellent. Antonio demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in several languages. Also very kind and pleasant. He is a genius.
I had a great time, I loved the walk, the attention and our guide was wonderful, attentive to everything and his explanation of the whole wonderful walk, I would repeat again soon on another adventure 🥰🥰🥰
The guides Ines and José Luís were very lively, with great explanations and directions. It's a full day tour that ends with part of it on the bus, but the journey is worth all the views. Very beautiful cities.
Very pleasant and well organized excursion. 1 hour more in Ronda would however be a little extra. Nieves was a perfect, attentive and attentive guide. Congratulations also to our driver Joachim!
Beautiful tours, well organized allowing time to see the different places with pleasant journeys and a very friendly guide (thanks Nieves)
Excellent service and magnificent experience. The guide José Luís was the best. The driver Fran, an ace behind the wheel
Very nice day, I recommend with your eyes closed. Our guide, Driss, was exceptional in his kindness, attention and kindness. He knew the subject like the back of his hand in all three languages (French, English, Spanish). Super friendly, attentive to everyone and great energy. I particularly appreciated the big hug to everyone at the end of the circuit. And also the smiles and jokes throughout the trip. Thank you for everything Driss, good luck. Julie
Very nice ride! The day is full without chasing time. Our Franco Spanish guide Luca is very friendly and will answer all your questions
A fantastic tour! The guides, Dris and José Luis, explained everything about the trip and even sang with us. The scenery and places we visited were very nice too.
Despite the wind and cold, very friendly excursion and good advice with Ines. We recommend this tour. The little French 😉
Excellent tour and activities, Peter is an excellent guide and very pleasant, Pablo very good driver.
I really liked the tour, Inés great guide knowledgeable, friendly and friendly. The selection of the villages I loved, the time to walk meet and eat very reasonable. Very safe driver and comfortable truck with air conditioning. The price according to the tour All very well
The excursion proceeded according to the planned schedule. Visiting an olive oil production is irrelevant. The main interest of the white villages visited is more their geographical location (high with a wide surrounding panorama) than the villages themselves (white houses side by side). Decent restaurant at our expense, offered by the attendant. I had chosen French as my language when I booked. I didn't appreciate the fact that this tour was commented on in Spanish and Italian only; the group was composed of 15 people including 4 French. It was only when we got to the starting point that we learned that French will not be used, and we were only offered to come back another day (we go back to France the next day...). Donations very disappointed by this service
Very good experience.Not leaving Seville without visiting Ronda and the White Villages and with this Enterprise was very satisfying.Comfortable throughout, it was not tiring the time allotted. Accompanied in our case by María, our Spanish-speaking guide very attentive and enjoyable in his explanations, we enjoy that unmissable landscape. Both she and the other guide and driver; to recommend.
Thanks to our guide, Guido, who showed us fantastic landscapes of the Sierra Grazalema, giving us so much information along the way!!! Exciting tour among typical villages perched on the mountains, highly recommended!! Thank you. Monica and Luca
We enjoyed our adventure, the tour guide was very diligent even when he had a giant group. We loved all the villages we visited. The bus very comfortable.
I will keep an excellent memory of this day spent with Manuel and a small group of French speaking tourists. ¡Muchas gracias!
It was a wonderful experience, because our guide Peter, was simply extraordinary. Friendly, excellent in his explanations, very very special. I rate it five stars
We actually went one day. We went with great expectation. The stops were good, the guides were cool too, but I think it was very little time to stay in Ronda (1 hour or so). Could have taken the visit of at least one of the Pueblos Blancos to get to know Ronda better. It was unthinkable to go down to the ruins and return for lack of time. But overall, it was worth it.
