Ronda hasn't been touched... - 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.

Must visit. - Well worth a visit. I went on an organised day trip so had all the history etc. I would recommend a guide of some kind. I went in October but it was still very busy I would try to avoid high season or very hot days as there are only a few shady spots.

Day trip to Ronda - A really good tour to Ronda, although the various pick up along the Costa del Sol took nearly 2hrs.
The local guide in Ronda was extremely good.
Would recommend this tour

Fun and Enjoyable - 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

There was adequate free... - There was adequate free time to enable me to appreciate Ronda to the full. I would recommend researching Ronda ahead of time as many of the sites are not covered in the guided part of the tour.

Spectacular nonetheless - The Caminito del Rey is truly a great experience to do. But our guide Rocío gave us almost no explanations. So it was as if we had a visit on our own, but we couldn't stop to read the posters. (At least we would have had a little more information). The group in front of us had plenty of explanations. It’s really a shame!
It is also very poorly explained how to get to the northern access from the bus. And where to wait for guided vs unguided tours. Same thing for coming back, it's not clear where we should wait for the bus. There would be a good job of signaling to be done.
Still worth the detour, but I'm not sure if you need a guide!

Ronda OK, guided tour can improve - 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.

Wasted 5 hours in transit - 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.

Waste of a day - 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
