The tour to Ronda was... - The tour to Ronda was spectacular. Our guide Oliver was very considerate and knowledgeable. He had to park his car a couple blocks away and walked to our small hotel in the old town of Marbella to meet us at the designated meeting place. Another tour operator we used for a different tour made us meet the driver at another location, because the driver found the narrow streets too hard to navigate. The change in the meeting place caused confusion and wasted time. When I told him that I needed to get cash, Oliver informed me which ATM I should use because some banks charge less for service fees (2 euros vs 7 euros). The weather was nice initially but it grew too hot for us to continue walking. He offered to give us a driving tour instead. He was very amenable to make our stop requests. For example, even though we have just passed the stop I wanted to make, he would turn around. He also made stops for us even though they were only a few meters apart. Our trip was made extra enjoyable due to his friendly demeanor and his facility to carry on full conversations because of his fluency in English. It turned out that we share the same interests in music and travel 🙂

Beautiful Day in Ronda - I did not know what to expect on this tour but I was very happy I did. We were a group of 4 people and did a private tour. Oliver was our tour guide and we couldn't have been more taken care of. Ronda is a beautiful town and worth seeing. Had lunch overlooking the gorge where Oliver took our picture from the bridge. He also took us for sangria overlooking the bull ring. Had a great day exploring Ronda a learning about the Spanish culture.

What an Amazing Place! - Absolutely amazing place. Our guide was thoughtful, polite and knowledgeable and showed us the best spots for photos as well as made recommendations for food & shopping. We were able to learn about the history & architecture of the area and got great pictures from some lesser known spots/angles. The pick-up from our hotel in Marbella was also much appreciated. 10/10 would recommend, a little pricey but worth it to be able to see and learn things we otherwise would have missed.

Perfect day trip with Oliver - We are two couples traveling Spain that scheduled a private day trip to Ronda from Marbella. Our guide was Oliver, and he was absolutely perfect! He was slightly early to pick us up and explained what our day would entail. Oliver is intelligent, knowledgeable, friendly, humorous.... he took perfect care of us and made sure we had fun. His recommendations were excellent, and the pace of the tour was perfect. He even did a drone video for us. We have taken several tours during our travels, and Oliver was the best!
