White Villages and Ronda Guided Day Tour from Seville

White countries and Ronda are worth seeing. Guide Merce is excellent, providing many useful tips for visiting the countries better.

We absolutely do not recommend it. Firstly, this tour, marketed as a Ronda excursion, included visits to two separate, unremarkable villages, and the route to reach them was extremely difficult. We arrived in Ronda at 3:30 PM and returned at 5:00 PM, so we didn't get to experience the real Ronda. The information provided by the guide regarding food and other necessities was neither accurate nor helpful. It was a complete disappointment.

Great day in the White Towns and Ronda accompanied by our wonderful French guide Catherine, who is passionate and engaging, teaching us a lot about Andalusia and its history. A beautiful discovery, thank you Catherine.

Pia and Rebecca were our guides for the day and they were both excellent. They were genuinely friendly, generous with the history and information about the places we visited and the landscapes we passed through and helpful in every way. Thank you so much!

I can only hold on to the fact that the towns visited are very beautiful. But the experience with the guide PIA has left me with a very bittersweet memory. I have met very good guides, and without a doubt, Pia is the worst of the experiences. Poor human interaction; she has no empathy and should seriously undergo therapy for emotional management and assertiveness training, as she does not accept any comments that do not fit within her parameters or expectations. Apologizing is not in her language (if you are left stranded in a town for having left 2 minutes before the meeting time, the least you expect is a simple "sorry" or "excuse me"; or at least an explanation and an acknowledgment of the situation...). These words are not in her vocabulary. Let’s hope she just had a bad day... But a guide, when dealing with people, should have a different kind of empathy and interaction. Several people on the bus told her that someone was missing when they left, and she repeatedly denied it (she did not listen to them). She was overly confident in herself and in having communicated everything correctly. She is a bilingual guide who prioritizes speaking in English (in all explanations, it is the first language she uses), and if you mention that she should also prioritize Spanish (since in some expressions or comments, she did not translate into Spanish), she gets angry, denies that she is leaving out information, etc. (Emotional management and assertiveness... terms she is unfamiliar with: it is as simple as saying: sorry if I might be missing some information, but it is not easy to translate the same thing in two languages, and sometimes something can slip; I will take your request into account...) You apologize after a while in case your words have upset her, but she is incapable of doing the same, continuing to deny that she could have made a mistake. She shows rigidity in thought and reaction to emotion (probably anger). I hope this serves to prevent others from going through the same and for her to engage in constructive personal work.
