Scenic exposure to this unique lifestyle in the white villages. Well done! - Beautifully scenic trip though the mountainous villages and the winding streets of these historical towns. Miguel was a great guide, providing the historical significance of the places we stopped. He is a friendly and knowledgeable guide and just a pleasure to be around.

Oletrips - The Best!! - If you can only go on one trip make sure it's this one with Oletrips! Two words - Absolutely Fabulous!! All previous 5 reviews say it all. We've been coming to the Costa del Sol for 35+ years and knew nothing about Axarquia. Each of the five villages visited were beautiful and Ciprianos knowledge and stories so interesting. We're hooked - the small group, comfortable minibus and lovely lunch made best day out. Thank you Ole 😊

Great day out in the hills of Andalucia visiting some lovely white village. - I went on this trip on Monday 13th January. It was a fantastic day out with Miguel our driver and guide and another couple who I just met on the day. Miguel was such a nice easy-going fella who was very knowledgeable and good company. The villages we visited were very pretty and architecturally very pleasing. Miguel gave us a lot of very interesting details about the history of the area. The four of us had a lot of laughs also along the way ! All in all, a great day out and very well worth the price. Muchas gracias !!!

Simply the Best!!! - A fabulous day out visiting lesser known but unspoiled authentic villages, learning about the local culture, history, micro-climate, agriculture and architecture to mention just a few items. Small group tour (4 people on this occasion) with the most knowledgeable and passionate guide Miguel, made it an unforgettable experience... definitely the best ever!! Pleasantly surprised with the coffee break and sampling one of the local favourites and lunch was delicious. Highlyrecommended and can't wait to be back next year to see more of the real Spain. Thanks to Maria for her patience in explaining the various tours .. definitely nailed it!!

Brilliant tour up in the mountains. - This tour was one of the best I have ever done. Everything about it was perfect. The scenery was spectacular and our driver/guide was excellent. The lunch was included in the price and all three courses were delicious. We will definitely be using this company again.

Wonderful trip in the beautiful Spain many visitors don't see - Very comfortable transport, small group - 7, wonderful guide Miguel, with excellent local knowledge. Beautiful whitewashed villages just inland...and so different from the busier coast. Steeped in history. Beautiful views. Rounded off with a delicious filling Spanish lunch (included).

This trip guides you through white washed, pristinely kept villages combining a little bit of history with pure magic. - We thoroughly enjoyed our white villages trips today. Miguel was a superb guide and host and showed us fabulous villages that we would never have found otherwise, delivering historical information in a most interesting way. Walking through the labyrinth of tiny streets was just magical. We finished off with a delicious 3 course meal in a lovely village in great company.
