Ronda, a city with much history and fascinating geology - Manuel Aviles Bravo was our guide. He has excellent knowledge of Ronda and we appreciated and enjoyed having him share the details of the history and highlights of the city. He was very personable and took our special interests into account. He also shared his personal experiences and knowledge about the processions held during Holy week, which made them even more impressive. The geological location of the city is amazing! We would highly recommend Manuel as a personal tour guide.

Southern Spain - Alfredo was a fantastic guide. He is so knowledgeable with great English and a very pleasant gentleman. So much so we insisted he have lunch with us. In our travel experience we would rate him a first class guide.

Great insight into Ronda and the bull ring! - Alfredo was an excellent tour guide. His English is very good. Alfredo was able to bring out many stories about life and living in Ronda because he has lived in Ronda his entire life and has been involved with the community. We heartily recommend the tour of the bull ring. Alfredo’s explanation and demonstrations really made the bull ring “come alive”.
