Benefit of planning! - This was a great full day trip. Lot of history and breathtaking mountain scenery. Guide (and owner) Cipri showed passion , knowledge and shared personal insight adding depth. He was very patient with our older group with a good number of steps. Coffee break and lunch allowed a nice, reasonable pace. If you are in the area for a couple of days we would recommend the trip and the company. Many different trips!

A perfect day - A fantastic day! Cipriano is a most knowledgeable , friendly and professional guide and brought everything to life with his enthusiasm and passion for this beautiful region of Andalucia. We learned a lot and it was so interesting to hear about the history and culture of the delightful villages we visited and enjoy the spectacular views and beautiful scenery. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and the Mercedes van we travelled in was clean and comfortable. We liked the small group experience and everything was done at a very relaxed pace - we were never rushed or hurried. The whole day was so well organised from start to finish and included a delicious lunch to finish off our memorable day. We can thoroughly recommend Oletrips and will definitely be booking again when we next return to Nerja.
