Fantastic trip - My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the white villages on the mudejar route. We were part of a group of 8; 2 English, 2 Irish, 2 German and 2 Spanish. Miguel did an excellent job of ensuring we were all well informed about what we were viewing en route and within each of the villages we visited. And his driving skills on the narrow, winding mountain roads were excellent. The villages themselves were all picturesque and the history of each was fascinating. We took it at our own pace, not once did we feel rushed. My friend isn’t the steadiest on her feet but she was made to feel at ease and was able to navigate the streets in each of the villages. The coffee stop and the lunch stop were both great. If you’re considering this trip, book it - you won’t regret it!

A lovely day out! - We had a lovely day exploring the beautiful mountains and white villages of the region with Miguel guiding us. He is very knowledgeable of the local area, history and agriculture and a great driver - some of the roads are hairy🙈! Finished off with a lovely lunch and drive back. It is a great way to spend the day and see off the beaten track. Thanks, Miguel!

Absolute recommendation - We booked Cipriano for a guided city tour and the next day for a tour of the area with a visit to the white villages, wine tasting and lunch. It all worked out wonderfully and Cipriano was able to adjust to our wishes very well.

Recommended!! - Recommended!! Super fun tour! Our guide knew so much about the history of Spain in this area, very interesting! Good driver too. He was a very nice man who makes you feel at ease immediately. Everything very well arranged, beautiful villages considering the real Spain . The lunch was exquisite! Even during the power failure they spoiled us wonderfully! All I regret is that I forgot to tip our guide 😩 Sorry about that! You so deserved it! We'll definitely be back for the other tours!

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 😊

Good Day Out ! - There was 8 persons on this tour and the Mercedes mini bus had no air con on . We started at the front but found it too cramped and moved to the back when the last couple joined . They were a bit smaller than us . There was a disabled couple on the bus and I’m not sure this tour was suitable for them . The lady especially struggled and found it hard to keep up. The guide was patient and very informative and overall we enjoyed it !
