Overall good experience but bad start.

We booked this excursion from Fuengirola and we're picked up at 6:30 am, we spent 2.5 hours driving around (including changing drivers) until we finally arrived in Malaga. During this time there was no consideration of travelers possible needs for a bathroom and use of the bathroom on the bus is prohibited. Once the excursion officially started from Malaga everything was considered and the tour went well. The staff were good and knowledgeable giving us great tips about the area. The time in Cordoba was great; however we feel it was cut short due to the delayed start.

Delayed visit

We should have started the tour at 11am for no reason it started at 2pm and it was very hot at this time, I hope Seville will be unsurprising

Cardoba visit

The destination was definitely appealing. But the tour company, Bravo tour company made everyone to sit in the bus for about an hour each way while picking up and dropping off tourists at about 10 different locations
