Frigiliana, especially not to be missed. - Magnificent place with a top guide, not speaking French he tried to speak Frigilais slowly in order to be understood. Thanks again.

Outstanding - Cipriano is the best guide I have ever been around. Of say 25 guides over the years I’ve used, he is the best! Knowledgeable, experienced, and his catering to the tourists (us) was beyond expectations! All at the right price.

Perfect afternoon in a beautiful spot - We did the one hour Frigliana walking tour and it was AMAZING. It was the right amount of time too. Our guide was so lovely, she knew everyone in town. The city is so beautiful with quaint little streets and shops and the friendliest people. It is definitely worth the time if in Nerja or neighbouring towns.

Beauty everywhere - Thus was a great tour and we'll managed. Our pick up was on time and Cipriani was professional and shared interesting info about our sights. Because we were a small group we were able to see places the large bus tours can't get to. Lunch was delicious. Wear good walking shoes and be aware there are a lot of steps.

Fantastic tour of Frigiliana and The Lost Village - The tour of Frigiliana was awesome and Cipriano’s passion for the history of the village and the region made for superb storytelling as we walked the narrow alleys and visited the church and small stores. And the weather was just right! The visit to the lost village (El Acebuchal) reached another level. The contrast between the history of this small village and its place in the Spanish Civil War (forced resettlement by Franco) gave us a true appreciation for the remarkable dedication and efforts of a local entrepreneur (who we met) to rebuild and restore some of the buildings into a modern accommodations for visitors who can enjoy the nearby walking trails. The lunch which featured wild boar stew, rice and local bread was washed down with a very nice beer. What a fantastic experience! Cipriano, thank you!
