- New Bridge - Built in the 18th century, it is the most important monument in Ronda. We will see it from several different angles to be able to take the photo that everyone who comes to Ronda wants to take.
- Jardines de Cuenca - They are so called because Cuenca and Ronda are twinned by the great resemblance between the two cities. They could also be called hanging gardens, since they are located on the ledges of the pit. We will go down its terraces enjoying the views of the most important bridges. We will also enjoy the 30 varieties of roses that are in these gardens, when they bloom they give a special color to this part of Ronda

- Iglesia de Santa Maria la Mayor - We will see the façade of the Collegiate Church of Santa María de la Encarnación, which is the most important temple in Ronda. It is built on the most important mosque, which in turn was located in the same place where the early Christian basilica stood. It stands out on its main facade that the original door is covered by a balcony that was built during the 18th century. The church is made up of two areas, one in the late Gothic style and the other in the Renaissance style.
- Mirador de Aldehuela - Just before crossing the Puente Nuevo to reach the Plaza de España, we will stop at this viewpoint to contemplate the grandeur of the Puente Nuevo and see the route made from a distance. This will be the last stop before the end of the tour

We wanted to live the experience of getting to know this beautiful city, we finally did it, we scheduled it with the - We already wanted to stop by Ronda, the truth is that it is worth walking through its streets and admiring its endless visits and its numerous monuments. This city is, in addition to being beautiful, it is historically very rich, it is not only the City of the Tagus. You have to stay at least one day or if possible two and of course you have to rely on a guide, this way you will leave filled with all its splendor. Ronda is worth it in every way, don't miss it.

Excellent Tour with a knowlegable guide - Our guide Sonia made our tour of Ronda an interesting and informative time.
She was right on time and tailored to the tour to match our interests and abilities. My folks are in their 70s and she was patient and made sure everyone had caught up before starting to talk.
We covered a good deal of ground and got a feel for the town in only 2hrs.
Highly recommend a tour with Sonia!

A Great Tour of Ronda - We had a wonderful tour of this amazing town with Alfredo. This was my third time visiting Ronda, but my husband’s first time. I wanted him to experience this place, as I had in my prior visits. Alfredo did an amazing job taking us around the area, telling us the history and showing us the sites. Two hours was perfect and the morning tour was the best, as it got hot and crowded by the end of our 9:00AM tour. Thanks Alfredo! We would definitely tour with him again.

Great experience with Guide. Great for families. Get the best insta viewpoints that only Guides know - This was a pretty last minute booking and the guide was great! We had two very energetic boys 4 and 9 and she did a great job with them. I would recommend this so you can get more history behind the town of Ronda and all the old sites...plus the guide knows the good picture viewpoints so we got some amazing shots. Well worth it and would highly recommend for families. We took the train into Ronda from Seville and then the bus from Seville to Malaga.

Encarnen was excellent. - Carmen was excellent. Ronda is a city of stories and history more than just sights and she was excellent in her guidance. We had a walking tour and it didn't include entrance to the couple of sights. It was excellent. But if you want to also enter the various places than you need a longer tour, at least 3 hours and you should specify it. Also recommended, almost better, is a walking tour in the evening m.

Disappointing private tour of Ronda - We paid for a private English language guide, but the person who showed up, while polite and friendly, spoke very little English. We spent most of the 2 1/2 hours trying to translate her Spanish into English. Big disappointment!
