Ronda: Unforgettable Views & White Villages from Costa del Sol

Well organized, clean tour bus, wonderful driver (Antonio). Tour guide while on the bus very informative. Your guide at Ronda (Inma) hard to follow along.

The visite was really fun, but they were too many stops to do to get everybody. We passed most of the journey in the bus instead of in Ronda. However, the village was really cute and fun to visit.

the only negative point is the pick up of the world. It's too long, the driver picks up people at each hotel on the Costa del Sol!!!! too long!!! But the rest was ok.

Overall a good somewhat cursory introduction to Ronda. Advantages: Transportation, entry to bull fighting arena, exposure to principal attractions, friendly guide Fernando and driver Jorge. Disadvantages: Multiple bus stops to pick up passengers within a short distance of one another in Torremolinos. Booked English tour but most of tour was in English, Spanish, French and German grouped together. Full bus with too large of a group for easy mobility and remaining within range of the tour transmitters. Group split in 2 for bullring but still too large of a group (about 40). Some history of the city could have been given during the 2 1/2 hour bus ride. Tour descriptions could be more detailed.

Booked this through Jet2, we were picked up about 8am but it seemed to go on forever the bus ride before we even arrived in Ronda, as there was a few pick ups. There was 2 tour guides as there was a lot of us so split up in 2 groups but the tour itself was interesting, our tour guide got quite frustrated, which I dont blame her as people dont listen to what was said on the bus before hand, she was very informative and it was interesting. Ronda is a beautiful place and worth a visit but just be aware it has cobbled roads and there is a lot of walking just in case mobility is an issue.

You can start complaining about the bus ride towards Ronda that takes too long because of the many stops to pick up passengers. But that is something that counts for every tour organizer unless you book a private tour. Something that could improve is the guided tour by a local guide. We first visited the bull ring and there we had a lengthy explanation about the bull fight, but we didn’t get to do a complete visit. Then to the New Bridge. Again a lengthy explanation and then my wife and I gave up and decided to do the rest of the visit on our own.

Great Tour Speaker Andres - funny and knowledgeable. Only pet peeve for me was the bus drive on very winding roads - if you don’t get car sick you will enjoy the amazing views (per my wife lol) Aside from this great time spent at Ronda

Wasted day. I was the first to be picked up at 640a and rode for two hours stopping 11 additional times to pick up more people. We were not permitted to eat on the bus. There was no chance for me to get breakfast before the ride. The picture of Rhonda is from below the bridge. At no point did we drive past that or where do we have enough time to go down into the gorge. If I’m being picked up that early, I should have reduced rate not the same rate as everyone else.

This is not an 11 hour tour. It took 2hr 15min just picking people up. And about 1 hour and 30min to drop everyone off. Why does Malaga have only one stop but the other places had multiple in there towns? Couldn’t all those people go to one location like we had to in Malaga? Wouldn’t that also save time? I was Picked up at 650am. Was told no eating on the bus. ( what breakfast places or cafes are even open before 650am for me to have eaten) stopped at a service station around 11 that had 1 toilet for two charter buses. And hardly any food, only food was maybe a handful of processed pastries. Finally was able to eat at 1315. That was a long morning with no food. Don’t sit in back if you get car sick

Ronda hasn't been touched by the tourism snake. There's lots of tourists, but the infrastructure or commercialism hasn't entered Rondas as yet. I hope it stays that way.
