Perfect day - Perfecto! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour! Small, intimate, informative, spectacularly beautiful and fun! Cipriano is an outstanding guide who combines his formal education with his lifelong experience in this region to provide guests with insight only a person with his passion can give. This is a top-notch experience in which I highly recommend!

Serene - Absolutely one of my best tours. Only 8 persons and guided by Cipriano through the serene olive valleys above Velez Malaga. We learned about the struggles and hard work that is hidden in every bottle of the extra virgen olive oil. And everywhere we looked it was the most beautyful landscape. We will pray that the water will last this year and that the olives will be plentiful in order ti give a good harvest.

A beautiful tour through the andalusian mountains - Pick up sharp at 8.30am and got home after 6pm. This trip was excellent value for money; with Cipri our guide being extremely polite and knowledgeable. He talked about the history of each of the villages as well as the making of olive oil itself. We were even lucky enough to be put to work for a while... all for a good cause of course.... lunch :) This is full day, experiencing some of the best olive oil and of course the stunning white villages Andalusia:)

From our front door to the gateway of the region’s agriculture gems - Fantastic day with Cipriano and Maria! Delicious tasting, stunning views and a lot of interesting discussions about history, agriculture and the region. A perfect mix to not just become aquatinted with a region, but to fall in love with it. Massively grateful for Cipriano’s ability to manage the tour in English and German, to suit our needs and also be conscious of bringing gluten free picos so I could enjoy the tasting. Full recommendation! Also a pick up and drop off service which makes it totally easy!

Wonderful day with Olives! - Cipriano has all one needs to make a day to remember. He speaks English and has a wealth of personal knowledge of the area. He took us to the beautiful countryside in his Mercedes van and actually gave the small group hands on experience gathering olives. From there we got to see the olive oil production including sampling. We shared a wonderful Spanish lunch as part of the tour. What could be better!

I will look at olives with another respect after this trip - This trip was the second, but not the last, that I had the pleasure to go on together with our excellent guide and driver Cipriano. His amazing knowledge and stories has made me see and understand so much more about the area I am in. It was so sweet that we actually were invited to his parents finca, where we could try some olives and also oranges and lemons, fresh from the tree! For us, coming from the North, that is very exotic. It was a so interesting to learn how the olives were harvested, we could actually try it if we wanted. It was wonderful to then visit the olive mill and listen to Juan’s passion telling about his family and what they achieved with making organic oil and that they after only a short time won a prize for best produced oil. Way to go! After tasting some different and strong oils I bought 2 cans of the mildest oil, coming from an over 1200 year old olive tree. Thant alone is worth the trip! A tasty lunch by the open fire in the old inn - oh if only the walls could talk .... and then a safe trip back downhill, watching the magnificent scenary. From now on I will look at olives in a different way and absolutely have more respect for the oil! Thank you dear Cipri for yet another splendid day! See ya soon

A truly Unique and Enjoyable Experience - Absolutely enjoyable day spent with Cipriano, driving (and walking) through the beautiful countryside, seeing the olive trees, harvesting them and then being able to see the process of turning the olives into oil (modern process and the process used generations ago). I'll always remember the rich taste of the oils and the passion that the locals have for their craft and heritage. If I ever find myself in Malaga again, I would definitely reach out to Cipriano again.
