Ronda very good, but better Sesenil from the wineries - The impressive pit, very touristy round. I recommend Sesenil from the wineries, an incredible town where you can eat very well.

Great bus tour - We were a bit skeptical about using a bus tour having a large group of people. The bus picks up people from 3 different cities and then leaves to the 2 destinations. I was surprised that everyone came at the right time and the bus left from Malaga which was the last pickup right on time. We had an awesome tour guide named Kathy (Kathleen) who was giving the guidance in English and Spanish. Again our concerns were put to rest because she did her job so efficiently and never felt that we were not informed what was happening. The landscape on the way is just serene and beautiful and Kathy described the history as well as all the important aspects of what we were looking at and we felt reached Setenil quite quickly because we were never bored. After a brief introduction of the place we were given 45 minutes to see the place ourselves. We did this and were back and we left for Ronda. At Ronda, we were given a very nice tour again by Kathy for an hour and a half. Ronda is so beautiful, it will take your breath away, the bridge, the squares, the churches, the museum and the views, simply unmatched. We were given a glass of local wine at a beautiful restaurant with views. We explored Ronda a bit and had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant which i had picked myself. We left Ronda on time and reached Malaga back soon. 3 cheers to Kathy and this company for a tour excellently organized. We highly recommend it.

Well organized company & scenic tour of the White Villages in Andalusia - We really enjoyed our trip to Setenil & Ronda. VisitandDo has the best price for this trip, we booked it on their website for only 38 euro!!!! Our tour guide, Carmen, was brilliant! She seamlessly switched back and forth between French, English, and Spanish and made sure that we could all understand as she pointed out sites. During the bus rides, she also made sure to tell us about the areas we were passing and local customs. We did a quick stop for breakfast in an authentic restaurant on the way, then we visited the beautiful white village of Setenil de las Bodegas with the group. It was a lovely walk around the village and then we got some time off for ourself, to have a drink in one of the cave bars & take some more photos. Ronda was last and lovely, with spectacular views across the countryside and of course the amazing bridge. The walking tour around the city took about 1.5 hours than we had some private time for another 1.5 hours to enjoy and have lunch. On our way back to the couch we did the last stop, at the bull ring of Ronda. The tickets were included in the price and Carmen made us a very interesting tour of the museum... We LOVED our experience and feel confident telling people to put Ronda on their bucket list !! VisitandDo Highly recommended! 10/10!

Wonderful bus tour - I went with family and we had an absolutely amazing time. Carmen was an excellent and very friendly guide explaining everything in 3 languages so all the travelers from the group could understand. She was informative from the moment we embarked till she dropped us off. The seat was comfortable and the tour was quite relaxing, with easy walks and plenty of time to enjoy and take photos. I had read about Ronda and seen pictures, and was not disappointed, it was magnificent! But to my surprise, though different, Setenil was even more spectacular, a little village where the bars and shops are built into the hillside in caves. Well worth visiting and a great company to use too.

Various areas of opportunity - We took the excursion to Setenil and Ronda, at the meeting point they were very punctual, the transportation was comfortable, the guide Monica was very friendly, she explained to us some things about the towns during the trip. When you arrive in Setenil there is no guide, they give you free time to explore the town, one hour is enough. Upon arriving in Ronda they divided the group, those who spoke Spanish and those who spoke English, although the guide was very friendly, the explanation was very quick and poor. The worst part of the tour was the recommendation to eat at a restaurant called "Don Miguel". They tell you that you have a free glass of wine and we decided to stay to eat without looking at the comments on this page (I invite you to look at them), the service of the waiters, especially a "gentleman" named Francisco, was pathetic, disastrous, their responses worthy of aggressive, uneducated people. I suggest you not go to that restaurant, for us the visit was overshadowed and left a bad taste in our mouths due to the incident with the service. A shame because the place is beautiful.
