Private Day Trip to Ronda

Thomas was an excellent tour guide! He was on time, polite and offered several great suggestions to enhance the tour. It was billed as 6 hours but we left the hotel at 9 and returned at 5:30. He did not rush us and was very knowledgeable about the history and the area. He took us to Ronda in a comfortable minivan and made sure that we saw all of the key sites of the city. He had the right balance between guiding and giving us time to explore on our own. He suggested a different route for the return trip that gave us a great view of the African coast and the Gibraltor. He gave us the chance to see several small towns along the Costa Del Sol that we wouldn’t have seen. I would highly recommend Thomas and his tours.

The tour to Ronda with the journey and short stopover to the coastal area of Marbella lasted for a full day. Thanks to our excellent guide, Thomas, who planned the whole trip for us. He is professional and helped us skip the large crowds, we had a VIP service the whole time. Ronda is so beautiful!!

This tour was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Ronda and the Costa del Sol. He enhanced the experience of our tour and couldn’t have been nicer. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

This was one of the most memorable tours of our trip. Our host Thomas was most knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. Ronda is well worth the visit, you should try and spend a night there, I am sure the tour would arrange it for you. So much to see. We visited a lovely restaurant for a local wine and prosciutto and a local tapas bar that had the most heavenly food. Thomas really out did himself on that one. Well worth the walking to see Ronda from one end to the other. Thank you from all the girls for a stunning day.

Malaga is a wonderful city that one can do by foot and is great to walk its streets always full of people and wonderful smellswe spent there 3 ds ,on our last day we had arranged a day trip to Rhonda through viator and what an incredible experience it was.At exactly 9am our great guide arrived,Thomas,and off we went in his minivan,cool water cooler and all.The trip thru the country side is beautiful,and he related to us the history of the area with its small towns and always an old castle on the higher grounds also all the new agricultural products being planted today,like hills full of new avocado trees and the old never ending plantations of olive trees and wheat fields already cultivated.We got to Rhonda ! and Tom took us around to the back roads so my husband could appreciate the real taste and history of the city my husband has difficulty walking you see and Tom found the way specially for him so we both could see and appreciate the beauty of it.Then it was time to walk and walk we did while my husband waited at a nice cafe in a beautiful plaza by the main church.The town is gorgeous with all its old small palaces,cobble stone streets ,multiple shops and its bull ring that is active once a year for the town festivities,They use the bulls that they raise in a bull farm on the way to the city ,unfortunately we couldn’t visit because it wasn’t included on our trip but from the road we were able to see those magnificent animals,i learned all about bull fighting and the history behind it when we walked through the ring and the museums.We walked to all the bridges ,the new one that crosses the tajo and the Roman and the Arab one, up and down the streets we went,then we collected my husband and we said goodbye to Rhonda.Tom suggested we stop at a venta roadside restaurant for lunch and that was another great experience ,we got to eat authentic typical Spaniard menu with no fancies but great service and taste.Tom then took the coast road to come back and we could see the famous Gibraltar rock and the Gold Coast of Spain ,Marbella and so on ,that by the way is overbuild and crowded . We then came back to Malaga absolutely delighted for a day well spent and more appreciative of the old Spanish history and culture, and all thank you to Tom .THANK YOU

Thomas was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He took plenty of time and not rushed at all. We will highly recommend this trip.

Thomas picked us up at our hotel promptly at 9 am and by the end of our trip he was part of the group. We didnt want to leave him. He not only gives you a private tour of Ronda, but also told us about Spain in general and their customs. He took us a scenic route to Ronda and a different Way home so we could see the country making several stops along the way back. For lunch he lead us to a beautiful restaurant with a fantastic view! He made us feel completely comfortable and at ease and never rushed! Ware so glad we spent the day in Ronda seeing the breathtaking views! This tour is fantastic!

Our visit of Ronda was extraordinary. From the moment we stepped out our cruise ship, Thomas was there to welcome us to Malaga. Before leaving for Ronda, he took us on a short walk through downtown Malaga and we felt the pride he has for his own town. The drive to Ronda is an 1hour 1/2 and Thomas took the times to point out all the local highlights along the way. Once in Ronda, Thomas made sure that we were aware of the history and the beauty of the area. He also made sure we had a good lunch with a spectacular view overlooking the gorge. Overall our excursion to Ronda was delightful not only because of the beautiful scenery and the interesting history but largely because of Thomas’s considerate guidance throughout. We would highly recommend to do an excursion with Thomas Liedtke. Among all the guide we had, he is the best by far.

Our guide Thomas made this tour very interesting and informative. He was very accommodating to where we wanted to go and how fast we wanted to walk. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Ronda and all the little streets etc. He was also an excellent driver and very courteous. He picked up at our hotel right on time and when we got to Ronda, offered to stop by a cafe to get coffee. He also recommended a nice restaurant for lunch with delicious food and an amazing view. Thomas was flexible about our interests and needs and we enjoyed our day very much.

We had a private tour with Peter Fischer Flores from Costa Excursions I in July 2018 – 3 adults. It was more pricey than the group tour but we wanted an afternoon- it was worth every Euro! He picked us up on the train after confirming by text – then drove to Ronda- got us into the Bull ring tour- then accompanied us for a wonderful Tapas lunch (he ordered in Spanish for us) and then took us on a walking tour all around Ronda.
He kept offering options – shared his love of Southern Spain and his love of Chicago (speaking perfect English) – pointed out culture and history with just the right touch of humor – and let us go shopping while he fetched the car! for a final treat, he drove us the length of Malaga beach so we could see the beach action on the way to our hotel.We have never used a private driver but we learned much more than if we had been by ourselves and we were so relaxed putting it in Peter’s hands! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! Linda

We had a private day tour to Ronda with Thomas. He was on time, polite, funny and so informative about the whole Andalusian area. The van was clean and comfortable.
The tour was fantastic – lots of walking so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and sun protection.
We did a stop for lunch, and then after some discussion Thomas drove us back to Malaga via the coast, with a short stop at the beach.

This was a great, flexible, relaxed and enjoyable tour. Thank you Thomas!

We did a private tour with Thomas, who conveniently picked us up promptly at our hotel door. Thomas was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and easy to be around. We loved this tour because we were able to customize it as we wished, with no strict timetable and no large groups. This tour company is a small, family-owned business which gives it a very personal feel. And, Thomas spoke very good English! I highly recommend them for any tour in Costa del Sol or southern Spain.

We spent two fun and insightful days with Thomas. The first day was a trip from Malaga to Ronda where we walked the sites and were greeted by a private guide specializing in Ronda who explained the history of the region, the architecture, and landscape. We also toured the bullfighting ring. We had a lovely lunch overlooking the gorge and stopped on the way back to Malaga to view Gibraltar from afar.

The second day we drove to La Alhambra where we met another private guide specializing in the history of this amazing ancient city. Thomas thoughtfully packed us lunch and following the tour, drove us to a location across from La Alhambra so we could get some amazing pictures. He also suggested we stop at a local pottery maker where we picked up some gifts.

The service was excellent and we can’t imagine joining a group tour after the personalized attention we received from Thomas and his associates. We learned so much about the region, its culture and history on each of our drives from Thomas as well.

If you want to see the most beauitful City in Spain this could be it. Besides having the Oldest Bull fighting Ring in the World. The sights are Awesome here. If you get a chance to see the Bull Ring here go there you can close your eyes and hear the Roar of the crowd and the sound of the Bull. The Scenery here is out of this world.
