Quick, convenient and...

Quick, convenient and efficient way to see Setenil and Ronda if you’re pressed for time and don’t feel like renting a car. Ronda requires at least two days to see all the sites properly but if you just want to see the town and the bridge, this will do. Michelle was wonderful and so entertaining.

Must see

Great tour, beautiful places. We did the tour without a guide. The julia travel representative provided us with maps amd directions before giving us a meeting point for the return trip. The 2 cities are very quaint, lots of places to get a quick bite, great pictures and conversations with locals. Julia Travels ensured we were satisfied! Great agency in Torremolinos!!

All day

The tour is an all day event. The bus was comfortable and our driver was excellent. Upon arrival in Ronda one guide took the Spanish speakers and another took the English speakers. Part of the time was with the guide and part of the time we were on our own. The second stop took less time because it's a small town. Interesting though.

Stunning

Beautiful places. Great service. Could have been sold with the option of a city tour as this was not clear on the information. Managed to jump into a free city tour of Ronda but only by luck and added so much more richness to my experience of Ronda.

Not what was promised

I booked a tour to Ronda from Torremolinos. Although the tour was booked from Viator, it was presented to me as a tour by Julia Travel. I selected that tour because of the fine reputation of Julia Travel. I was asked to meet the tour bus at a nearby hotel. It was not a long walk, but it was a cold and rainy day and it was not pleasant to stand outdoors in the rain, waiting for the tour bus which was 10 minutes late. The next pickup stop for the tour bus was my own hotel. I asked why I was asked to come to another hotel and wait in the rain rather than being permitted to board the bus at my own hotel. The guide's answer to me was that when you book the tour on the internet, you must meet the tour bus at a central location. Only those passengers who book the tour at the hotel's tour desk are granted a pickup at their own hotel. Nothing about the tour bus or the tour guides mentioned Julia Travel. One of the guides said he was employed by Diversion Tours. That was also the information on the tour bus. The guide explained that all of the tour companies hand off their passengers to Diversion Tours so that there will be one full tour bus instead of multiple buses which are mostly empty. I was one of the passengers who was handed off to Diversion Tours. The tour offered by Viator in the name of Julia Travel promised a visit to a winery and a wine tasting. That was never offered to me. I was not treated correctly with respect to (1) not being picked up at my own hotel, (2) being handed off to Diversion Tours, and (3) not being provided the promised visit to the winery and the wine tasting?
